Paul, quick kudos. I like that you listen to others ideas try to implement them and improve the set up.

Obviously not all worked, and a swift return to original idea has happened on some. But it's nice to know some out there do listen to others.

Keep it up!

Thanks, Chris.  Good to hear.  Believe it or not, I wasn't much of a YouTube watcher before starting our channel, and I'm still not really, so I am still learning what people do and don't want to see.  Quite a lot of our videos are put up purely because we get asked to do them, with only a small few being ideas of our own.  The way I see it, as we aren't the ones watching, our view is less important than that of those who do...

Interesting concept of self promotion here.

I was surprised at the comment of not being able to tell the quality of GM & NB bats. Seems a bit of an odd statement to make publicly.

I'll be honest, I found this video neither entertaining or informative.

It did make me wonder how busy IJC are if they can take a nearly 20 minute video (plus retakes, editing etc.) but that's neither here nor there.
Personally I'd prefer to see actual kit reviews than things like this, but that's just me...

I find I have nothing positive to say, so best to say nothing.

It's a series of bits and pieces that Amos does. It's gone down very well with our customers both here and overseas. Part of a mini-series of sketches including Yorskhireman etc.

Basically the concept was to not be toooo salesly in all our videos. The Custom bat video was said to be too pushy and salesy, and so this is meant to be a bit of light hearted fun.

Won't be for everyone - but it's something different.

RE shooting and everything. We get in at 830 in the morning to open at 930, we shut at 1830, and we shoot and edit these videos until about 830 at night. It's a 12 hour day almost every single day. We definitely are very busy!

The danger with this approach is that for every "Like" you get a lot more people will be turned off and spread that message to their friends. I like the review videos but this is a bit self-indulgent and weird.

I'm not a yorkshireman but I lived there and I can't see anybody being very impressed with Amos doing impersonations. In fact I would say you are alienating the biggest county in England. Personally I would concentrate on keeping content fresh and having something to show, even if it isn't directly a sales push. Trying to be too clever doesn't go down well with old people like me.

I thought his comments when offered the Fosters were pretty well what most Aussies would say in the same situation... lighten up, its just a bit of fun.

On a side note, please, please, please stop having little indirect digs at other companies in your videos. If you/they don't want to work with one another then that's fine, just stop making such a fuss about it - it's just embarrassing!

This was my issue with the video. You can't bring into question two brands because they don't allow hand picking. I have seen many of a GM and NB that look amazing.
