ICYMI: Woodbridge Gets a Free Video to Promote Local Businesses

Editor’s note: In case you missed this article earlier this week on Bethwood Patch, we’re republishing it here:

Two Woodbridge businesses, one of them a new arrival in town, have teamed up to give the town a video to promote local business and to publicize the video on the Web.

Geomatrix created the video (you can see it at the end of this article or here, on YouTube), and Talking Finger is helping to promote it on social media. First Selectman Ellen Scalettar narrates the 37-second video.

“Woodbridge is a model community for residents and for businesses,” Scallettar says in the video. “Shop Woodbridge, dine Woodbridge and try Woodbridge. The Woodbridge business district offers a tremendous variety of quality restaurants, stores, professional services and other businesses.

“Please shop, dine and try Woodbridge for a convenient, sophisticated and friendly experience.”

Representatives from both businesses will speak at theSpring Outreach Breakfast of the Woodbridge Economic Development Commission. The event takes place at 7:30 a.m. at the JCC (360 Amity Road).

“Cathie Reese of video production company Geomatrix will discuss the how to effectively use videos as a marketing tool and Bill DeRosa of social media marketing firm Talking Finger will discuss social media use,” the commission announced Wednesday on the Woodbridge town website.

“I encourage local business people to take advantage of this networking opportunity and to learn tips of the trade from local experts on social media,” Scalettar said.

The video says you can learn more about Woodbridge’s local business by going to the town website, a Web page on the town website that bills itself as the “Woodbridge Economic Development Website” and the town Facebook account.
