When I was young and inexperienced it seemed like a good idea to start making general videos about double glazing and conservatories. My idea was to put them online, sit back and watch the money roll in.
With hindsight, I should have spent that time of my life concentrating on more important and more serious marketing campaigns which actually generate sales.
Nevertheless, I’ve just had a quick look through my YouTube account, and was surprised to see that we’ve had a massive 336,127 viewers to date.
Below, are the most 5 viewed videos we posted, with a short explanation of my thinking at the time:
1. Break In Challenge – Kung Fu – 46,687 views
The day we filmed this was probably one of my most enjoyable days at work. The idea was to have a sexy, Kill Bill femme fatale demonstrating the strength of our uPVC windows. For obvious reasons this is the most viewed video we ever produced.
2. Calendar Boys – 41,717 views
This video takes a bit of explaining. It all started with a calendar we produced to help raise money for Heal. Various members of male staff at West Yorkshire Windows jumped at the chance to strip for this cause, so we produced a calendar showing the process of building a conservatory in the nude. As West Yorkshire Windows were running a radio campaign with a George Formby-style jingle, it seemed an obvious fit to combine the pictures and music together to produce……..ahem…….this:
3. Break In Challenge – Tarzan – 32,589 views
This video also takes a bit of explaining. You might at first be fooled, but it’s not really Tarzan. He’s actually a male stripper from Leeds pretending to be Tarzan, and struggling to get through the super strong Conservatory Outlet manufactured windows:
4. How to install a uPVC Window – 27,926 views
This is how they used to replace windows in the olden days:
5. Window Security Test – 19,129 views
This was about the first video we produced (way back in April 2007). Biddy, who is one of our most experienced fabricators, was convinced he’d get through the window in 2 minutes maximum. His body language is quite funny as he struggles to jemmy open the sash:
I hope you’ve enjoyed these videos, and not found them too cringe worthy.
