New Jersey Woman Uses Web Video To Find a Husband

N

This is a story I’d normally never cover in this blog, however, it’s an excellent demonstration of what can be achieved through web video marketing.

The story goes like this.  Neenah Pickett is a 42 year-old New Jersey woman who has never been married.  By 2010, she wants to find a husband (or the man who will eventually become her husband).  The problem is that Neenah is a career woman.  She has no interest in bars or the cattle-call style dating sites.

So Neenah decided to put up a web site…marketing herself…through web video.  And because she happens to be marketing savvy, she’s even included video testimonials…from her friends

But she’s taking it a step further.  You see, rather than meeting her potential suitors at a restaurant or a coffee house…she’s first going to meet them through video based mini-dates.

This will eliminate all the “PhotoShop Kings” (people who don’t actually look like they appear in photos), save her moutains of time…and…allow her to get an idea of the type of chemistry she has with a person quickly and easily.

But come on now – can an unknown person…with a tiny web site…actually attract a mate this way?  You bet.  So far, Neenah has had over 70 men submit profiles (men must complete a profile for consideration from Neenah…they can’t just shoot her an email…that’s called qualifying your prospects in marketing circles).

It’s also a testament to the power of web video…when used with creativity and marketing savvy.

  • Hi,

    I’m just getting started with my new blog. Would you want to exchange links on our blog-rolls?

    BTW – I’m up to about 100 visitors per day.

  • Well, I guess this is better than putting a photoshopped picture up on eharmony. Good luck to her. Glad to know she is giving it a year, not just a week.

    This also seems like a better way than doing a TV show like “The Bachelor”

  • we are in preproduction phase now for this similar idea for our website LifeInThePhils.com

    We will be featuring people in the Philippines (humor and fun will are a must)

    Join us in October 2010 for the fun
