Though I don't know much about tourist shops, the answer you are getting sounds like the same ones that the people watching a house tell visitors--what they really mean is that the owners are in NY and aren't necessarily "hands-on" on owners and the person in charge doesn't have the authority to make those decisions.

I skimmed the video. My unsolicited 2 cents is that as a female I'd be tempted to buy it if I saw it while I was at a nice spa getting a massage (not the fully body Sosua kind). That way I'd have something visual to de-stress with and remember my relaxing time when I returned to my 9-5 rat race routine at home. It's the association with the massage that would get me, more than my beach experience in the DR, because those "virgin beaches" have mostly been plucked and it's the real adventurer and expat who tends to make it to those. So I'd go for high-end spas or possibly hotel gift shops, not the stand alone everything available shops.

And frankly, if I'm going to buy a video of the DR, I'd also want some "hotter" images like Carnival and dancing, so you'd probably do better with more than one with a few clips at the end of each one promoting the other.
