I can almost hear you shouting, of course, they do, you idiot!! But does it? When I titled the blog, I was thinking about book promotional videos, but it made me think generally about whether ladies were really that interested in videos with erotic content. It is no leap of imagination to think that men are into erotic content and I do know ladies who are really into it, but I don’t really know how representative that is. So I would really be interested in your views. A good cover works for sure, but what about videos? I have seen some great video and I have seen some pretty shabby ones too. I was talking to a friend asking if thought promotional videos hooked her into buying a book and she said it never had. I have always liked the idea and made a few when I took over BVS but to be honest they were not well received. Could it have been my lack of movie-making ability? I have tried making a few videos for art projects, which went down well, but I have not invested a lot of time into it recently.
In the music world, sex-charged video is almost a standard, Madonna, Lady Gaga, and countless others have sold music that way, but romance and erotic romance books?? I am curious.
I offer a couple of old 1980’s songs as a mark of my miss spent youth as a night club and pirate radio DJ. I am also open to hearing what vids you would use as better examples.
