NAAA Launches YouTube Channel to Promote
Aerial Application Industry

“Aerial Application’s Growing Role,” NAAA’s educational video, is now available for the world to watch on YouTube. This is significant for several reasons. First, YouTube is an excellent educational and recruiting platform because now anyone with a computer and an Internet connection can watch scenes from “Aerial Application’s Growing Role.” Second, this is NAAA’s initial venture into social media. Third, NAAA’s YouTube Channel should drive traffic to its Web site as visitors seek more information about agricultural aviation.

The beauty of social media is it goes way beyond two-way communication and offers an opportunity for the Association and NAAA members to spread the word far and wide about aerial application quickly, easily and freely. In the case of YouTube, you can post comments about the video or aerial application in general and share the video with others by e-mailing web links or posting it to your Facebook page. The video is divided into eight YouTube segments:

1. “Aerial Application’s Growing Role” introduction, 01:21
2. Yesterday’s Industry, 01:54
3. Today’s Industry, 06:05
4. Getting Ready To Spray, 04:49
5. Precision Application for Ag Aviation, 04:48
6. Environmental and Homeland Security, 04:33
7. Owning an Aerial Application Business, 01:28
8. Calling a New Generation of Ag Pilots Skyward, 02:24

This is just the beginning of NAAA’s social media strategy. Social media will be a topic of discussion at NAAA’s Fall Board Meeting next week in Savannah, Ga., and going forward as NAAA and its leaders identify new ways to promote aerial application to the public and recruit new pilots into the industry.
