movies are great, but 60 pictures of content will give a far better idea of what's inside

I know I am a total noob but if you will allow me to dive in....I must agree here, I have taken down lots of trailers to leave more photo updates and it does seem to work far better.

In a lot of cases I noticed that old-school reality-style tours convert better than tube-style tours on tube traffic...

I was told before that tours that look exactly like the members area get the best conversion rate because people know more of what to expect inside and are more willing to pay. Not sure if it's really the case but it makes sense to me.

retention wise that makes sense, a lot of tours show great and have nothing inside to tell you the truth.As a content provider I was surprised what many get away with.

For us it really is a case of testing.

Tried many tube style tours without success and just this week I tried 2 new ones and boom double digit sales a day.

It varies so much that I really can not say this will work and this wont. Hence the reason we just test drive tours to see what works out best.

I agree and would add that tours need to be tested and adjusted according the the traffic source, not just type. The same tour that works for one tube might not on another, or it might work for one tube and another tgp but it won't work anywhere else, etc.

Then, refining what works on a tour to try and beat a benchmark comes next.

We did a tour in the 90s that set a benchmark that was hard to beat for ten years and even converted crap like cracker traffic exceedingly well, but one day even that went cold as far as conversions were concerned.

Right now, we are testing "tube style" (lots of pix, clips, etc. real simple looking) but testing the addition of lots of non-graphical text, and trying to get more hang time on the page. We are also testing a "closed trial" version of the site where people can see everything in the member's area but with very limited access.

Thank you for the welcome! I am very new here but have been running my site for exactly 4 years from a dead start. The more I read the more I realise how little I know!

A/B test your tours and see what works best for you. That's the only way to know for sure.
