What is a WADU Moment?
WADU Moments are 30 second webmercials similar to PSAs (Public Service Announcements) in support of wildlife. Webmercials resemble television infomercials but they are shorter and appear on the internet. Their run time ranges from 30 seconds to 3 minutes (we recommend 30 sec. to 1 min.). They have the advantage over television ads because they are interactive, allowing a website visitor to view an ad at the point of sales. After the digital video production is complete, the webmercials are compressed and converted into different streaming media formats or flash presentations so that website visitors can become website customers.

Research says that more than 60 million US households are online. Webmercials will greatly increase the impact of your website. Many companies generate an average of 10-20% of their business from their websites; some companies have increased their online sales by up to 20% simply by adding a webmercial to their website. Webmercials are a cost-effective way to connect with your target customers and know immediately if this marketing strategy is adding to your bottom-line. Of course your sales will greatly depend on the amount of traffic to your website, so a member of our network can help you increase your online traffic.

Mini-Docs
A mini-doc is a short documentary with an average run time of 3-5 minutes (we recommend 2-3 minutes, especially for the web). These mini-docs often appear on websites that host podcasts (not just to ipods). Similar to webmercials, mini-docs can help companies attract the right client. By contrast to webmercials, mini-docs implement a documentary style similar to reality TV to tell a short story. The narrative style yields a feeling of endorsement similar to publicity. Think about the difference between buying a full page ad versus having a reporter write a feature article about your company for a local newspaper. Think about shows like BAY AREA BACKROADS and EVENING MAGAZINE with your company as the focus of a segment- how much would you pay for that?
