Thank-You Video

After you make a load with kiva, you see three things:

• Share on Facebook
• Invite Friends
• Order Confirmation

I think a good fourth option would be a Thank-You or Learn More Video.  It feels good to get immediate feedback, so having a video of the entrepreneur saying thank you could strengthen the emotional connection the lender feels.  Kiva currently presents a large amount of information before you make a loan that can be hard to absorb while you're decision-making.  Educating the lender about the entrepreneur, loan, or country may be easier after the decision has been made. 
 
Even if this could only be done with a small number of loans, it may be able to make a big emotional impact for those lenders.

Hi Joe, welcome to Kiva Friends!   That sounds like a great idea to me!

That's a great idea.  Perhaps they could use this one:


The video is a bit dated.  The fact that Kiva's partnership with LAPO is currently suspended should not diminish the images and words of grateful borrowers.

I think it's a great idea to thank lenders immediately with a video...

as long, of course, that it's *an option*...
something a new lender can choose to watch, but is easy to skip over for those of us in a hurry

and as long as it doesn't tie up more badly needed resources at Kiva ?
