We all know that videos sell! Well video demos of the hottest toys should help create a surge of sales for any family oriented site. Amazon just released their Holiday Toy List with videos of all the top toys of the season. Your visitors can watch hundreds of this season’s best toys in action and find the perfect gift by age, gender, price, character, and more. There are 457 toy videos in all. I know because I counted them and watched a few. I found some cool Christmas presents in the process too! See sample toy video below.

Trust me when I say, if you get a Mom or a Grandma to a video of the right toy, you WILL make a sale! A static image vs adorable little kids actually playing with the Fisher-Price Little Superstar Sing-Along Stage, LeapFrog ClickStart My First Computer, Tickle Me Elmo or the Robotic Pony??? No contest! These videos will help you make sales this Holiday season!

Amazon does not offer an option I can find, that allows affiliates to embed the videos on their site. This would be a super cool option. You could use the video trick I showed on the blog awhile back. Example below. I just did a quickie screen grab, added an arrow and linked to the video page. (Not an affiliate link)

Check out the season’s hottest Holiday Toy Videos and see if you can work these dynamic sales tools into your Holiday marketing strategy.

PS - Check with your manager at Amazon if you have any questions about whether the above strategy is allowed. I would assume so since you would be grabbing the screenshot to help you sell the product, but am not certain about the copyright issues involved - so it’s just an idea.

Happy Selling ~
