Video

The ideal video to submit to Iowa Road Trip has three pieces:

  1. Product
  2. People
  3. Place

Here are some specific examples:

YouTube video

Flying Elbow in Marshalltown.

Garrett, the owner of the Flying Elbow, is showcasing his award-winning pull pork sandwich – and we have all three key ingredients: People, Product, and Place.

Berry Patch Farm in Nevada, Iowa

Why we like this video clip:

  1. They introduce themselves
  2. They tell us where the farm is located
  3. They tell us what’s available on the farm
  4. and they finish by telling us where to find more information.

We also like this video because it is NOT time-sensitive. In other words, this video can be used all summer long. If state today’s date or reference some specific event/date, then the video can only be used once. We encourage you to keep the video more general, as the video can then be used multiple times.
