At Collectorz.com, we’re experimenting with the use of video, for both promotional and instructional purposes. Our in-house video guy AJ has already created cool promo-vids for our 3 main products. For instance, check out the Movie Collector vids.

For yesterday’s Collectorz.com newsletter, we decided to try something different: a “meet the team” video, showing a tour of the Collectorz.com office and introducing all members of the Collectorz.com team. Here it is:

This week, I tried something different with TrialPay:
Free software upgrades.

I emailed all customers who were still using an older version of our software and offered them to upgrade to the latest and greatest for free using TrialPay. Plus, I included an alternative “pay anyway” option with an extra $10 discount on the upgrade ($14.95 instead of $24.95).
