A haul video is a video recording, posted to the Internet, in which a person discusses items that they recently purchased, sometimes going into detail about their experiences during the purchase and the cost of the items they bought. The posting of haul videos (or hauls) has been a growing trend, during 2008–2016. Haul videos also have led to celebrity status for some people. Other haul video bloggers have entered sponsorship deals and advertising programs from major brands.
