Leading business directory offers company video presentations - Lokaldelen.se launches video solution powered by Picsearch

STOCKHOLM, Sweden, February 24, 2009 - The market leader in local directories Lokaldelen launched full video support for all its clients in Sweden. The uploading of video presentations of companies and products starts today and videos have already started to being uploaded. One of the first uploaded videos came from Kakelcenter på Öland AB.

Magnus Yngvesson CEO at Kakelcenter på Öland AB, said "It is important for us to present ourselves in a trustworthy and personal way to people that are searching for tiling, bathroom equipment etc. Video enables us to do this in a new and exiting way. The whole process from video production to uploading at lokaldelen.se was surprisingly easy."

Björn Widmark, Business Development Manager on Lokaldelen, said "We are delighted to work with Picsearch who have delivered an excellent video solution. Developing a complete video solution is not something we would consider doing in-house, even if video is an essential part of our web site. With the help of Picsearch we have been able to focus on our core business."

Nearly every major company has some sort of online video presentation. By incorporating video, all clients of Lokaldelen are offered an easy and affordable way to present video. Picsearch's solution makes it much easier for smaller companies to present themselves in a professional setting.

Robert Risberg, Picsearch's CEO, said "Online directories are some of the highest trafficked sites on the Internet and offers unique and valuable company information to the visitors. Adding video to these presentations is the next step for the directories to enhance their service offering to both companies and visitors. We are proud to power Lokaldelen's video needs and look forward to working closely with them."
