Remove the videos of the white dress girl. Doesn't seem to make any sense to me why she was there, other than to draw attention, but not the right attention.

I think your potential customers are looking for something more professional, rather than gimicky. If I saw these, I wouldn't be very impressed

I use tollfreenumber.org, and am happy with the service.

The opening shots on the videos look great and professional. Keep that.

With the first video, the lady in the black dress - the video has 24/34 seconds, or nearly 70% of the time, showing a lady walking with a cellphone to her ear. And that has to do with a toll-free number because.... It's like saying a shot of the ocean should be used to sell boating services - it doesn't tell you anything about the service itself. The rest of the video looks like someone doing a cheap infomercial at 2AM. The fake Ben Stein accent doesn't help, and sounds just like that - fake.

The second shot, with the girl in the white dress - why are we seeing snatch and butt shots when the voiceover is talking about kids toys? I don't get it.

Next - funny comments, but sounds more like political commentary. You don't talk about the product, or the company, until more than halfway through the ad. It will catch someone's attention, but will they remember what you sell?

Fourth - The voiceover does great at keeping on message, but the Schwarzenneger accent sounds fake - again. I'm beginning to notice this is the same guy doing all the accents, so far none of them well. Find someone who is upbeat and real. And enough with the chick shots already! Keep doing that, you alienate your female customers. Had I seen an ad of a girl stripping to sell your product, I would never have considered your services. If I was a male professional - I'm sure she would capture my attention, but would decide you are trying to sell sex numbers, not professional toll-free numbers.

Fifth, I think? Again, voiceover good at staying on message, but the fake accent is distracting. Use a real voice. I thought you were trying to target businesses, not chicks looking for dates. You need to get the visual to match the voiceover message. I like the bit about matching the budget in this one, given today's economy.

Number 6 - I think I said it all above.

Summary:
1. Skip the fake bad accents.
2. The stripping chick is outright unprofessional. If you want pretty skimpily-clad chicks, at least put them in an office setting, since you are promoting services for "home-based businesses and small businesses". And don't forget that 30% of businesses are women-owned. If you alienate us, you stand to lose a significant client base.
3. A number of the videos had long trailers on them. If you are looking for a video for a variable-length commercial, this is good, but make certain you leave the website name up.
4. Stay on message with the voiceover, and match the visual to the image you are trying to project.

'Nuff said.

Your service is great but I don't like any of your videos. You don't need gimicks to sell yourselves because you already have the niche.

Lori Titus (The Bee Folks) said just about everything I was thinking to the T. I understand you're trying to be comical and maybe going for the GoDaddy.com-type advertising, but really, it's painful watching these. It looks decently professional until the end when it looks like a twelve year old took over with the 'flashy' wording popups and infomercial-type stuff.

Not trying to discourage at all, but it definitely needs a change of direction. The accents are not good. I have to say that at least I could tell who they were supposed to be, but they were just not good, at all.

And the girls just don't make sense, and I'm a guy, ha. They're just not tied into the product or company in any way and it looks like an extremely stereotypical, quickly thought up commercial.

Your service is great though. Keep up that good work and maybe give the commercials another shot.

Thanks everybody!
Your comments, will push us to make a better line of videos. We have already began reworking these videos taking into account the suggestions we received.

We appreciate the criticism. Most of the time, most people will just say they like what they see because they don't want to criticize. That can be frustrating because we never get a real opinion from them. We would much rather have REAL criticism from real people like ya'll. Plus we actually listen to you. We already removed one of the videos that people didn't like too much. Keep commenting!
