Marketing Shoes

A couple of weeks ago one of Seth Godin's blogs caught my eye.  He posted a holiday shopping guide and one recommendation was not to buy from big brands or big stores.  The reason he gives is that they don't care about you, or the things you care about and that there are alternatives to every 'big' category.  Toms Shoes is an alternative to the shoe category and they have an interesting mission.  Watch this video for more info.

Interesting right?  Great video too.  I was moved to grab one of their banners and help spread the marketing message.

Shoes, who would have thought you should be thankful for shoes?

Would you think of marketing shoes using video?
