May 13, 2008 - Cool Marketing Tool Alert
Posted by Renee Oricchio
Check out KinetiCast. KinetiCast has a slick little easy-to-use tool to put together online presentations, send them out by e-mail and then track feedback.
It's a rich tool that allows users to incorporate files, streaming video, power point slides, graphics and text, of course. I signed up for the free 15 day trial offer (no credit card required, just contact information).
I can imagine KinetiCast being used in a variety of ways. It would be a great way to send out online presentations to a team of colleagues that you need to work with collaboratively online. It would also work with clients.
I went to the example page showing various presentations and how different businesses are using KinetiCast. I was particularly intrigued with the real estate example. In this market, real estate agents need every marketing tool they can get their hands on to actually make a sell. Buyers love looking at properties online. This takes it to the next step; the ability to send multimedia listings to prospects. See what this Century 21 agent is doing with KinetiCast.
All that being said, here's some areas that need work.
- It takes too long to upload files. I tried to upload a powerpoint file and after a several minutes, canceled the upload.
- I don't like the fact that the user has to click on the "next arrow button" at the bottom, rather than timing it to change screens on its own.
- Pricing packages start at $10 a month and ranges up to $60 a month.
KinetiCast is a little start-up company based in New York state. Let's see who buys it up a year from now.
