Re: Help. Advice on showing business videos for money.

Can't Post

: I have a business idea that involves showing business videos (and charging for it). I'm not sure how to become a video "distributor" to get the best pricing on the videos and I would also appreciate advice on what I need to consider in making money from the showings. Help?
If you are just buying one copy and showing it, you aren't a "distributor" and would not qualify for wholesale pricing. If you plan to show the video and then sell copies to the audience, you should be able to buy them at wholesale. You'll have to contact the distributor(s) for the tapes you plan to carry.
Usually, simply showing a video in a group setting isn't worth much to a potential audience; they'd rather simply buy the tape and watch it in the comfort of their own home or office. If you combine showing the tapes with a live seminar by a noted authority (especially the author of the tape), and maybe some printed material, you have a marketable seminar. One day seminars charge attendees anywhere from $100 - 500, depending on the content. Expenses include rental of a conference room (usually at a nice hotel), refreshments, speakers fees, cost of printed handouts, rental of A/V facilities (video projectors in particular can run several hundred dollars a day). You also have the expenses of advertising the seminar, of course.
