EDC Knife Finder Review Points

Review Format

The video needs to have a set format, one that is consistent. One thing I DO NOT want to do is hold the review conclusion till the end. I don’t think users appreciate that. They want answers above all. They reward their attention to companies that give answers first. Then this gives them permission to explore you further.

“So, you are thinking about buying the [name of product/knife]. Well, if you do, you [will/won’t/might] regret it. Stick around to find out!”
