BuyTV Services Launches to Bring Customers and Brands together with Video

ALISO VIEJO, Calif., Dec. 17, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Rakuten's Buy.com announced the launch of BuyTV Services, a video production company that produces professional quality videos for businesses and merchants.  The videos provide businesses with a platform to intimately connect with their customers by creating rich content that highlights their brand personality and further differentiates online businesses in an increasingly competitive digital marketplace.

Commenting on the launch, Sheree Martin, Executive Producer, BuyTV Services, explains: "Every business has a story behind it and our goal is to help tell each one with a creative and unique approach that taps into the businesses' personal style and philosophy.   In a time where the online marketplace is flooded with options, video is a dynamic platform that offers companies large and small an opportunity to engage with valued customers in a natural and effortless way—by viewing a personal conversation from the shop owner, reviewing a product demonstration and more. "

Recent customer Heather Hamilton, Founder and CEO of lifestyle family brand Zoe Organics comments: "I can't thank BuyTV Services enough for capturing my company on video. It's so fulfilling to see something that documents what I have put my heart and soul into these past five years and it's fantastic to share who we are beyond text and photos. The feedback has been very positive and working with the team was phenomenal."

The head office includes a full recording studio offering high quality video recording facilities and a production team onsite.  The team is also available to travel to events across North America and its video services include, but are not limited to: product demonstrations, live event showcases, company profile overviews and interviews, general corporate showreels, as well as brand-boosting sizzle reels.
