SteriPEN Launches New Product Videos Created by Gear Cuts
Durango, CO (July 28, 2015) – Hydro-Photon, Inc., the makers of SteriPEN, recently hired Gear Cuts to produce specialized product videos featuring their best selling products.

The products included in this video lineup are SteriPEN Classic 3, SteriPEN Adventurer Opti, SteriPEN Aqua, and SteriPEN Ultra. These videos speak to product features and points of differentiation as well as demonstrate the easy-to-use, unique UV light water purification technology systems in action. Gear Cuts delivered the completed product videos to SteriPEN nearly two weeks ahead of schedule.
“Working with Gear Cuts was a great pleasure, and we’re very happy with the results,” said Julie Lord, Director of Marketing at Hydro-Photon. “The process Ron has developed to gather information for the videos made for an efficient script development. He was able to provide talent and a production crew that got it right the first time, and delivered videos that we’re sure will increase sell through for our retailers.”
“We are stoked with the outcome of the SteriPEN videos,” said Ron Rod, Founder of Gear Cuts. “It was a fun challenge to create videos that speak to the product features and benefits while also including an effective how-to tutorial video that demonstrates the ease of use of SteriPEN products. We think that SteriPEN customers will be pleased with the outcome as well. We’ve been long time users of the Classic, so it was fun to produce these videos for SteriPEN.”
The SteriPEN product videos produced by Gear Cuts can be found at www.SteriPEN.com/videos. SteriPEN is rolling the videos out to their retailers, including REI, for use on their own websites. They expect these high quality videos to increase sales on their own website as well as on their retailers’ sites – a win-win situation.
