New York, New York - (Cheap Web Hosting Directory) - May 18, 2007 - In a new research study commissioned by ExpoTV, San Francisco-based research firm, Socratic Technologies, found that when compared with its number one preferred method of researching products and services, 36% found Videopinions reviews more influential.

According to the study, more than one in three Internet users would find their number one method of product research more impactful if accompanied by video-based product opinions, according to a new study that has the potential to significantly impact the $130 billion e-commerce marketplace.

Daphne Kwon, CEO of ExpoTV remarked, ”We knew from day one that video was the future of word-of-mouth. Consumer-generated video product reviews combine the best of all worlds by marrying the incredible power of the visual medium to convey vast amounts of information quickly with the authenticity of a word-of-mouth experience. Soon, no product research site will be complete without Videopinions Reviews.”

The study maintains, that by now, it is an accepted industry and research fact that the majority of consumers value user-generated reviews and prefer sites that feature them. But the kind of honesty and true word of mouth that video product reviews provide delivers an increasingly compelling value proposition. The Socratic study shows that seven out of ten surveyed said they found Videopinions reviews an easy source of information to utilize.

Bill Hildebolt, President of ExpoTV added, ”The point of the Socratic research findings isn’t that Videopinions reviews will replace trusted tools currently available to consumers. Rather, it confirms both the very real appetite consumers have for product information and the incredible impact that a rich media interaction with other consumers can have on the research experience. We witness this daily through ExpoTV’s content syndication with Smarter.com and Buy.com.”

The research was conducted by Socratic Technologies. 300 respondents with broadband connections were asked to select their preferred product research technique. Respondents were then shown a Videopinions product review. More than 1/3 of respondents confirmed that Videopinions enhanced their preferred product research tool.

ExpoTV’s members have contributed more than 60,000 engaging and informative video-based consumer product reviews. The Videopinions reviews demonstrate product benefits from a real-world consumer perspective in an easy-to-understand video format. Covering a broad range of categories including kitchen products, consumer electronics, entertainment and travel, ExpoTV’s video review catalog is the largest in the world. Videopinions are distributed online and TV through ExpoTV’s popular broadband Web site; via partnerships with the world’s largest video portals including Yahoo!
