How important are trailers on paysite tours?
 

I am building a tour and I need to decide if I need to add trailers for each scene.

I dont want to give away the farm but I hear trailers really help convert.

Fuck somebody must have an opinion about this.. speak up :)

I'm certainly no pro on the subject, but on my sites I offer one free trailer (usually of the newest scene). I have good ratios from affiliates, too. This seems to work well for me... not sure about others.

All I can say is that all my clients are extremely with the trailers I've provided them and say that they have indeed greatly helped their sites.

Check out my site for examples of the trailers I've done : www.theguynetwork.com/trailers.htm

What do you guys think of linking the hosted gallery for that scene as the trailer? Meaning every scene in the tour would be linked to the hosted gallery of that scene.

I need to make a hosted gal for each scene anyways so I figured it might help ratios.

I am thinking 1hosted gal per scene on a tour would be giving away the farm but it cant be any worse than a TGP site. lol

i run 3 sites and none of them have trailers.
i will probably add one to www.herfirstfatgirl.com sometime though.
i haven't had anyone complain about me NOT having trailers.

Test it for 1month and compare how much better you convert sales.

I hear adding trailers is HUGE but I dont wanna fuck it all up and add too much.

yeah i'll definitely be keeping an eye on it once i put one up.

I would think your incoming traffic source would play a major role in if your site needs trailers more than not.

Example...

If a strong number of surfers are coming to your site via hosted movie galleries, then I think you already satisified their lust for movies. At this point, they're scoping out your site to see the variety of women/scenes.

However, if you're getting traffic from other sources that weren't privy to some samples, they may want to see a sample first. Reasons being: to check your quality, shooting style, etc...

To be safe, I'd include something quick yet enticing on the tour.

Personally, I don't like giving out more than 1 trailer on a tour but there are tons of sucessful sites out there that give out plenty more than me and are making insane amounts of money.

Best bet... keep tweaking and see what works best for you.

Trailers are excellent cock teasers. May be essential to convert a surfer!

A trailer per scene is ok but a full hosted gallery per is going waaay over the line. Don't do it bro. :upsidedow

trailers are key, and getting a good trailer done is awesome, i like jj's from angelsofporn they are cute.

what he said! I have never tried it, but will give it a try once! I'll let you all know

I will definately at least try it. :)

Trailers are essential to a site's success... :thumbsup

it depends on the site & traffic, but for the most part, trailers are important and tours should have them. maybe 3 trailers, 1 min each.

1min each trailer :eek7
That is pretty long so 3mins of trailer on your first page tour :eek7

I've never had trailers...just a good story and I'm doing fine...But if I did do the trailer thing, I'd go with PornAddict's technique of just having ONE trailer for the newest scene.

Would a tour with more trailers than usualy not be memorable thou?

Meaning they would remeber and comeback to join because they were impressed?

Very true

Also check out bang bros they have some killer trailers :thumbsup

A few trailers is good (nothing wrong with more samples)
but i think if you have one real quality
kickass awesome trailer then one will do just fine :upsidedow

Well the only way to know for sure is to test it out.. this is the fun part of the biz if you ask me. Marketing rocks!

We've been beta testing 6 movie sites for the last few months, both with and, without trailers and we have found that adding a 20 second trailer to the tour for each 'scene' has increased joins tenfold.

The problem is, as we found out, making sure that you tease these freeloaders just enough in that 20 seconds to make them want to whip out their credit cards to get the good stuff.

We're currently using a 20 second clip consisting of 3 or 4 shots from each scene but we dont shot the money shot, we show right the way up to 1 second before the guy blows his load then flash the site logo and start on the next shot.

Get the surfer so worked up that they think they are gonna see the cum fly so that when you cut off the clip right before it does, they actually NEED to join your site before they can shoot their load themselves :)

actually, I think what you need are trailers ala www.innocenthigh.com

The last 3 trailers were done by me and I hear they are doing great!

i notice sites that have trailores but only 1 or 2 good ones do the best and the rest askin to join

depends if your content is crappy or not.

Bump for a good thread!

Which quality do you set your trailers to? The least quality to make it possible to view for slow-connection viewers, the best quality to show off, or something in between?

Trailers are good, but you have to keep your eye on bandwith. :)

All my customers tried free trial of all our content ( www.xxxtreams.com ). So far most of them still are my customers!
My opinion is: free trial helps

jesus fuck, STFU already about your goddamn trailers u make... broke mother fucker

while my instinct says to jump on you like i did NoWhere, you are, from what i understand, the best in the video/editing biz, so i'll be easy on ya ;-)

shameless mofo

From what I thought I knew... Redshoe stated he retired.. Hard to leave something your'e good at ain't it? :pimp

Click it foolio

Doing with trailers , doing without trailers and then test ....and post here answer ;)

three trailers per site 30 seconds each thats the best way to go its a total cock teaser

I think it's important :)
