If you are a chocolate lover, you are going to LOVE these two new videos!

Chocolee Chocolates in South End, Boston is an adorable boutique chocolate shop that specializes in handmade chocolates and truffles.

A couple of months ago we had an idea to put a bit of an animation together that demonstrates how we feel about traditional print media, specifically the phone book and local newspapers. We didn’t want it to be too serious or lengthy, so Jason, Amber, and myself put a storyboard together and found someone who could help us get it done. We’re really happy with the final result, and we hope you are too. It’s only a minute and a half long. Check it out!

You can find the original Flash version of the movie here on CitySquares.com. We also threw it up on YouTube and the CitySquares Facebook page.

What do you think?

With that goal in mind we are proud to announce the latest addition to our Citysquares enhanced customer profiles, Profile Videos!

CitySquares customers now have an option to have a low coast, professionally shot and edited video on their business profile page. These videos run about 60 seconds on average, and give potential customers a fantastic look into the venues, food, decor, and services of the local businesses that they are interested in. Other than that… they just plain look AWESOME!

Take a look:

The Fireplace in Washington Square, Brookline
