Product Description Casting Call!

4 comments
Jan 14, 2009 by Brett H.

At Zappos, we have always taken a crazy amount of pride in our product presentation on the website. The multi-view and product descriptions were the result of years of practice, determination and, most importantly, at least on the photo side, experimentation. But some products need just a little bit more description...so the idea for video descriptions was sparked.

The idea is simple: some products, especially outdoor technical gear, have many different functions that can only be eluded to in the photos and descriptions, and a video could allow a person to personally explain each special feature. And, in an effort between the Zappos Merch, Content and Video teams, we were able to pull together 15 products and shoot videos. Below are a few examples.

We had also decided to use actual Zappos employees in the videos, the first round being only members of the Merch and Content teams. But, after the initial videos were completed, we decided that since there are so many smiling faces at Zappos, why not give everyone a chance to try it out!?

So, on Tuesday, Jason Lee, from our Content Team, sent out an open casting call to all Zappos Employees in Vegas, and the day was caught on camera! Take a look below.

Stay tuned for hundreds of cool product videos to come!

Howzit, faithful followers?!

I really hated to title this latest HR / Training pulsating post as I did, (waaaay too many ABBA references his week for some reason), but what choice did I have??? Feast your ogling ojos on this:


That’s Zappos HR’s very own ninja prom queen, Heaven “Heavenless” T. showing us what she’s got. ‘nuff said.

Oh wait, that’s not true!! I also managed to score a pic of Jamstar’s recent glittering gift from one of her joie de vivre vendors:

Perhaps coming to a Zollar Store near you!! Sweeeeeet……


Some parting notes!


Jobs@zappos! Come getcha some!

Special thanks to p-1603, Zappos CEO, for letting me post Heaven’s performance here, instead of snatching it from my archives for his own sinister purposes, and waiting ever so patiently for me to get it out. Yer the best Tony. Love ya. Mean it. http://blogs.zappos.com/images/emoticons/wink.gif


Coming Soon!
-How HR’s Monthly Outing literally rocked! (promise this one’s coming really soon)
-An update from Training! (sorry, really needed to get Heaven’s routine up!)
-Zappos.com: Powered by Hope! (and another Dancing Queen!!)
-Random Rozzy Thoughts! (building anticipation…it’ll be worth it!)
-The Benches Are Here!!!!! (or, “Why We Love Rozzy and Rebecca L.!”)
-What’s all this about Twitter, then?!!

Until we meet again, “Yes! A brain transplant!...I don’t need it; take my brain!”

Item!
Have any ideas on how this crazy, kooky thing we call a blog could evolve? They don’t even need to be good ones! Have a burning question, or a need to wax philosophical? Need some sage advice? I’m here for you, citizens of the intarweb, and my sustenance is your comments!!!
