Portable Storage Vendors Rush to YouTube
The National Portable Storage Association encourages portable storage vendors to display how-to videos on YouTube and other viral video sites.
Kansas City, MO, May 23, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Nearly two years ago, the National Portable Storage Association (NPSA) debuted safety videos on the popular viral video site YouTube, leveraging Web 2.0 technologies to help educate its members on issues such as loading and unloading containerized storage.
The NPSA's leadership set off an industry rush to YouTube from vendors across the country. Today, companies like MI Box, Go Mini, BoxNgo and others are uploading videos that demonstrate the value of using portable storage to the masses. The NPSA is encouraging other portable storage vendors to follow suit.
"The NPSA recently launched our own social network for members, but we still encourage vendors in the portable storage industry to post creative content on YouTube," said John Finnessy, CMP, Executive Director of the NPSA, a nonprofit membership association dedicated to the advancement of the portable storage industry. "We enjoy networking among ourselves through ThePort Network on our site, but YouTube serves a different purpose. You can reach literally millions of viewers there. It's a great way to gain exposure for your brand."
Indeed, YouTube passed 100 million unique visitors in January 2009, according to comScore. That means the equivalent to about one-third of the United States' population visited the social media site that month. The service has 18.6 million members – and that figure just keeps growing.
"We've seen a great response to our videos on YouTube," said Joel Rathbone, Operations Manager for the NPSA. "Social networking and social media are must-dos for any industry that wants to educate the public, get the word out about new products and services, and get better acquainted with colleagues and consumers alike."
