I put together a marketing video for my Cigar Box Guitars.

My opinion. It's too long. I like the end with the slideshow to the music, but that seemed to go on too long for me also. The first half seemed a bit repetitive to me. Like I said, just my opinion, but I think you need to be shorter and sweeter. Just trying to help.

I really liked it - it gave a good mix of builds which all looked quality CBGs and all sounded excellent (and each had a unique sound which this video manages to capture). The inside the box slide showed neatly soldered electronics. The plugging a CBG into an amp was a simple but effective way to mark the switch from acoustic to electric guitar playing and also show a cigar box amp on the video.

As a general overview/showcase of what you can make I think it does the job.

Regarding length of the video to me it is just enough - it lets me see you can build to a high standard, you have built several and they all sound great.  Also the sound track kept my interest. 

I liked it, but you backed a lot into it. I would suggest for future videos present a complete song and then talk about the model. From a selling perspective, customers like to see the exact model they are purchasing or if you are creating a production line, that exact model. Many builders say, I am a custom builder, every model is different. This is good, but many beeginners have no idea what the need or want. Marketing to beginners and seasoned players can't take place in the same pitch. I,ve been selling guitars for years and tried a variety of approaches. Maybe these videos will give you some creative ideas: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL08EAFCF1593EA626

Best luck with your venture, Keni Lee
