Todd,
$20 a DVD would not be unreasonable and even with 12 this would be about 2/3 of the cost of a 1 day school or equivalent to a 2 hour private lesson. Might suggest throwing in one free video analysis for people who buy the complete set and prepay as a little extra sweetner.

I guess I'll be the contrarian. I'm not sure I see the sales appeal of a series of 12 DVD's each containing 20-30 minutes of material, since the DVD is a medium that usually contains multiple hours of programming. Beyond the immediate crowd of TGGS enthusiasts, I would thing there would be some consumer resistance to such a presentation. Consumers generally think of DVDs as a bargain format that contains "hours and hours" of bonus programming. Thirty minutes of content would be unprecedented, and breaking the material into short segments like this would raise the production costs. You'd have to sell the set as a series of installments, which risks setting the price point above the comfort level for the average golfer and beyond the cost of competing products.

I would be more than interested. A monthly charge to a credit card would work best for most folks I think.

Count me in. After attending your one-day school in CA this March, I couldn't be more enthusiastic. I saw your original tapes before the class and it helped, but was no match for the hands on approach. The new tapes/dvd are excellent. I would stress the importance of hands-on instruction from GGA. GGA teaches in a superior manner.

I think Syco brings out a valid point about public perceptions on DVD value.

Todd: Just a random thought: Do most of your students/ clients have VCR's or disc players? If you go with just the DVD's, I think you might possibly limit your market. If you do both,there shouldn't be a problem. In any case, I'm in...even if I have to purchase a DVD player. Success....Hick

Maybe. The fact of the matter is that you can only fit about 2 hours of video on a DVD. So maybe the format is a series of 4 to 6 DVD's. There will be a lot of information and if laid out correctly, high video quality. Secondly, the only amount you save is re-production costs not production costs. Production costs will stay the same about 20-25,000. Saving re-prodution will be helpful. Also, DVD or VHS format will be possible however, we sell 5 DVD's for every one VHS.

Todd,
I'm so impressed with my first video return lesson, I'd pay anything close to reasonable...probably up to $30-$40 a cd. I don't know where I'd get better instruction so, in my mind, it would be worth the cost. Count me very interested if you are counting interested parties.

I will end up buying the product also.
The general public that does not know about how good You guys are will need to be convinced of the usefulness and quality. I think the general public will see a dvd as an object that can hold a 3 hour long commercial movie. If these people buy your dvd's and end up having 1/2 hr of stuff, they will more than likely bad mouth the product.
I know the value since I have the 3dvds produced at the beginning of the year.

Todd,
Include me in enthusiastically supporting this project. I definitely would buy the entire series. I see no problem with 2 price levels....One "lower" price for prepayment for the entire series, and another higher price to buy individual DVDs. I agree with most of the other responders. A series of this length would be worth $200 easily.
Hope this project gets off the ground.
