Nice concept. If it doesn't work out maybe you should start a demo video service of some kind. Totally impressed that you could put that video together so quick, looks really nice.
The headline+video look great. I'm curious, though: why is the "Download for Free" button bigger and brighter than the "Create a Campaign" button (which is clearly more important)? And why does it say "Live Demo" if it's just a downloadable PDF?
same reason it says live demo, as live demo would imply there's no download, aka no hassle. Aka a small marketing lie.
here's the issue: to checkout crowd2 you need to share it on your social network. unless you have a dummy social network that you use for SPAM, you're going to share it to your friends. but hey, I don't know if I wanna share it yet. i wanna test it first. And, crowd2 is share first, test second. And that's just wrong. It's easy to make the parallel to another form of spam, as you'd have to have a spam account to view…
Edit: I'm not sure why I was downvoted, but the point was that after Imview received this feedback from their demo set, they implemented a way for people to play before sharing, which later led to their success. Just food for thought.
I'm not convinced that this approach will always yield a higher viral coefficient than not forcing sharing in order to gain access. The interesting thing is you could actually run A/B tests on this.
I wouldn't like to be on the receiving end of this. I want to see the content first, then maybe share with my network. Putting a "sharewall" like this will put a lot of people off.
I consult a niche daily deal site that implemented something similar. In that case, it had a standard "email subscribe" nag screen (think Groupon or Living Social). There was a "No Thanks" link at the bottom. Of course most people clicked that. We decided to give them a Like button option, too. We made the lightbox modal, and required that they either "Like" or fill-in their email address. An email address would supp…

Nice accomplishment but I have to say that the idea of the product is off-putting. Still I guess it's up to people if they want to advertise this way.
