Pitchus – bringing videos to the e-commerce marketplace

A video marketing platform offering a shift from the traditional text and images, to online selling through video clips

Hong Kong, China S.A.R (MMD Newswire) August 4, 2015 — On Monday, Pitchus, a startup in the e-commerce industry, launched their video marketing website Pitchus.com, a platform for online sellers to showcase their products and services to the world using video clips and call to action. Pitchus.com is a website that offers users from around the world, the chance to create and brand their own video channels, which will host all their sales & marketing videos that can be viewed & shared to social media. This website will provide buyers the chance to not only compare prices and products, but also to get a real feel for the product they are interested in buying and gain an affinity for the company or individual behind the sale, all through video.

Pitchus presents itself as a cross between YouTube & EBay, a video search engine for products & services. Incorporating the powerful nature of videos with selling online, the founder and CEO, Michael Thomas envisions adding another dimension to e-commerce, a new and powerful global v-commerce (video commerce) platform. He said, “with the explosion in growth of online video, especially in the entertainment sector, and the huge success of video platforms like YouTube, Hulu and Vimeo, we believe there’s room for another platform in the marketplace, especially one that’s focused on ecommerce & business use.”

A bootstrapped startup funded by the founder himself, together with the help of family & friends, is seeking to grow out organically in the early stages of its launch. Talking about the prospects of additional funding, the CEO said, “At this very early stage we’re just concentrating on gaining traction, we don’t anticipate seeking additional funding as we want to grow organically, but that’s not to say we wouldn’t consider raising expansion funds in the future”.

Starting from its launch day, Pitchus is facilitating online marketers both large and small to come together to create an ecommerce community, a marketplace to interact and communicate with customers. The site is ideally suited to private individuals with single or even multiple items to sell, businesses with multiple products to offer and for brands seeking to increase brand awareness. Initially Pitchus is offering:

- Free Sign Up - Video Channel Creation & Branding - Call To Action Features - Lead Capture - Sharing to Social Media - Instant Messaging - Full HD Playback - Website / Shopping Cart Connectivity - In Site Social Connectivity via Activity Feeds

Pitchus offers an opportunity for businesses, to list and market their products and services using video clips via their own branded video channels. Pitchus should be considered an additional growth hacking and marketing tool for businesses.

Pitchus does not facilitate any transactions; therefore the main purpose of any uploaded videos on a user’s video channel, as well as selling or marketing a product or service, should be to drive customers to their business website or directly to their own ecommerce shopping cart and this can be achieved, simply by taking advantage of the multiple call to action features available.

Pitchus is a startup based in Hong Kong, reaching globally through its video marketing website pitchus.com and is hoping to redefine online selling, starting this July 2015. Already gaining hundreds of thousands of followers on popular social media outlets, Pitchus is all ready to deliver another enriching dimension to the world of e-commerce.
