This is a duplicate post, taken from the 2012-2013 videos section....... it was suggested to start it as it's own thread.... and it was a good suggestion!
Just wondering if there is an opportunity to get feedback from everyone on what they desire and value from a video/DVD vendor at Cheer competitions? Due to the high use of handheld cameras.... everyone seems to have an iPad these days.. we have seen DVD sales plummet. Many smaller regional events do not have video or photography vendors anymore. (does that make a difference?) It also seems that many people would rather use their own camera and share their own video online than purchase something professionally recorded, even though in the crowd down in front watching a camera takes away the experience and "feel" of being at a live event. (many people say they walk away feeling that they missed it) What do you think? Add to the mix the fact that many gym owners and coaches prefer that their routines not show up on online until the end of the season.
SEVideo is intensely scrutinizing our business model and direct feedback would be an immense help. With everyone watching their expenditures closely these days, and with competitive cheerleading being an expensive endeavor for parents, we are striving to provide the highest quality product at an affordable price... and still stay in business!
Additionally... In light of the arrest of a registered sex offender at a cheer competition I am sure there will be changes in who is allowed to bring in a camera. NCA is requiring you to purchase and wear an armband..( http://nca.varsity.com/pdfs/classics_media_kit.pdf ) which will help keep undesirables out.
Any help and feedback would be greatly appreciated.
