Is Carolina Buzz just another attempt at a fun show about great summer vacation spots.
As the show host, I can assure there is definitely plenty of that.
After all, the Carolina coast in both North and South Carolina is known worldwide for their beaches and their summer enjoyment.
But there is so much more to this alluring region.
That’s why I will lay out the reasons our new show – Carolina Buzz – is needed. And some of these reasons you might not be aware of.
Just so you know, I am no newcomer here. My wife and I have been coming down to the Carolina coast since 1988 visiting family. Like so many, we moved here to be with family in 2012.
At the time, I was a bit leery about any need down here for my television hosting and producing skills. But that quickly changed. And we have seen and taken part in the major, positive transformations that are making the Carolina Coast a magnet.
As we say, these are not your Daddy’s sleepy beach towns that used to hibernate for three months every year.
Thus, we give you the 5 reasons behind our new show that will give you the Carolina Buzz.
Multiple Platforms
First is how we distribute the show. Wingding TV is connected to multiple streaming platforms and is accessible from billions of devices – which leads to reason number 2.
Watch Carolina Buzz Anywhere
Carolina Buzz will have more views than regular TV or cable television. Why is that? We can pop up on your phone, computer, and your streaming TV set. Sure, you will catch us on social media pages. But Winding TV has its own free i0s, Android, and web app, so you can watch us at the time – you want to watch us.
The New Media Reality
Third reason is strategic digital marketing. Digital media is literally lost without digital marketing. Many have learned the difficulty of growing an audience on platforms such as YouTube and Vimeo. It’s not enough to post content and hope for a viral response. Few videos become viral…and most don’t need to be viral to be effective.
We use strategies that allow Carolina Buzz to attract more viewers through search marketing and on multiple social media pages – while also airing on streaming platforms. Imagine if your business is on Carolina Buzz with that reach?
Look what Winding TV (via distribution and digital marketing) accomplished for ALD (Amateur Long Drive and ULD (Ultimate Long Drive). Yup. Millions of views annually.
As more people are cutting the cord on regular television and cable, advertisers and sponsors are waking up to the expansive reach that digital marketing offers.
And, even as we grow, your ads and sponsorship on Carolina Buzz stay on the show for a lifetime. They are embedded into the show and will continue to be promoted for months and years to come.
And if you are part of Carolina Buzz, you will also get a usable link of your segment that you can share, email, and embed in your website.
Reach Who You Want To Reach
The fourth reason why Carolina Buzz is needed is the viewers we cater to — thanks to our robust digital marketing. We can reach and help three types of active people connected to the Carolinas. Let us break it down for you here.
People Who Live In The Carolinas
Current residents who escaped here sooner also need more information about new businesses and technologies that are becoming available — as well as new opportunities.
How can we do that? Well, Carolina Buzz is well connected. We hear what is happening and what could be happening.
For instance, there could be a new airport in the region. Is it happening yet? No, but it’s certainly being talked about and with this booming economy it will be needed soon.
We are also hearing about a number of new startups that are about to be born, and that will make life here that much more enjoyable.
People Who Want To Move To The Carolinas
Another target audience for Carolina Buzz is people who yearn to make the Carolinas their home. The numbers keep growing.
Look at the real estate activity. Right now, most realtors will tell you there’s not enough inventory. While at the same time, you can see the massive amounts of construction from south of Myrtle Beach all the way up north of Wilmington. And why is that?
Escaping Big Cities
There are a number of reasons. The first was Covid. So many people wanted to escape the bigger cities throughout the Eastern US when they realized the beach lifestyle was affordable, and they could continue to work remotely.
Covid also attracted a lot of people to take early retirement. Because of the lower cost of living, compared to major cities, the Carolina coast was perfect.
As Covid wanes, that trend has not stopped. And we continue to see more companies expanding here to meet the needs of the growing communities.
People Who Love To Visit The Carolinas
Despite the growing number of residents, there are still so many visitors who love the spring, summer, and fall. Spring and fall remain the most active golf months compared to any other spot in the country. Our beaches here are considered some of the greatest in the world. And, so many people can drive here, escaping the cold of New England or the heat of Florida. This trend is not stopping.
Carolina Buzz can reach all those people – easier than newspapers, radio, or traditional TV and cable television – using exciting and informative videos.
Experienced Media Team
The fifth reason is our experience. Winding TV and its digital marketing arm have been working throughout the Carolinas for more than two decades.
Jeff Gilder is an experienced digital marketing genius, while also being a media innovator. He created, devised, and grew Ultimate Long Drive, Inc. into a worldwide entity.
AJ Gohil is a sales and marketing expert who has worked in the Carolinas since the 1990s. He has worked tirelessly to help restaurants, bars, retail stores, and the many golf courses that are the backbone of the Carolina economy.
Our Producers are among the most talented in the world. In addition to Wingding TV, we produce for major networks such as NBC Sports. Wingding TVs show, Traveling Golfer is contracted to run 18 shows on NBC sports annually.
And let me give you more about me. I have a long background in print and TV news, television production, reality TV, and the new media. You may remember Real TV, the first all-video news magazine show that was, some would say, the precursor to YouTube. We saw the growth of camcorder sales allowing our audience to shoot and send us the majority of the show’s content. Recently, I co-created and co-host Undercover Jetsetter, a travel, food, wine, mixology, and golf show – that is entirely produced off the iPhone.
All that experience combined with new technology makes this show a no-brainer for you to be a part of.
Watch our pilot show below. We bring you to: a golf play and stay getaway on a plantation course; a new technology that relieves pain and helps you heal while increasing your performance; then a new restaurant in Shallotte, NC you have to try.
