It's not for all companies, but if you have a product or service that lends itself to audio or video presentations or meetings and training applications, then audio/video streaming is one of the most valuable communication tools you can offer site visitors and employees.

VideoConferencing is a comfortable way of conducting meetings and if used properly can be as effective as face-to-face. It's incredibly economical compared to the rising costs of air travel. Liability issues notwithstanding, the most important consideration is that people perform better when they are not stressed due to flying.

Think of audio and video streaming or VideoConferencing as your personal radio or television station, except it's cheap and better because it's on demand - which means clients and customers have access when they want and need it.

Most companies are intimidated by the prospect or don't even consider video promotion because traditionally it's been financially difficult to justify - not so anymore.

Interestingly, many companies already have the raw audio or video in the can. It's usually used at trade shows, for internal training or by sales teams during live demos.

Real-time VideoConferencing is also no more complicated than adding a video card and a camera to user computers. Depending on use, you could add a dedicated streaming server too. The expense of a round trip flight and hotel room is usually more than the cost of a video system for users on both ends. It's a cheap and simple solution for the changing world climate. We design complete packages including recommendation of the best hardware and software solutions for your specific purpose, plus installation of the system and professional advice regarding how to efficiently conduct meetings online.

Moving it online is relatively easy and economical. It gives companies a line of communication previously unattainable.

Depending on your product or service, there are many options available to the cost-conscious company. Whatever your goal, as long as you do a professional job it will elevate your visibility and put you on a level with large companies. It enhances credibility and illuminates you in a more professional light.

Videoconferencing and streaming applications are endless. For example, you can prep potential or current customers when you release new product or make a change to a popular item or service. You can also demonstrate complicated assembly or operation procedures. Streamed audio or video creates a personalized relationship with valued customers. It allows you to "show" as opposed to tell them about a new product or procedure. Training applications are also endless.

VideoConferencing opens up new worlds of opportunity and keeps everyone safe and productive.

It's no secret that streamed video works best with high bandwidth access, but when configured properly it's also of tremendous value and satisfaction to dial up users. It's important though that you position streamed material carefully. The worst thing you can do is get a site visitor excited about viewing your video and then let them down because you're not sensitive to their download speed. As long as you're conscious of this soft spot it'll be a positive experience for all users. We've developed a number of strategies to address a wide variety of expectations.

For example, you'll find below applications for two different sites. Both are used effectively and in unique ways.

The first is a site called Made With The Trades. We designed it for a youthful market. It promotes Trade Apprenticeship relative to government, union and especially construction industry objectives. Site visitors access the streamed information from a wide variety of places like home, work and school. They also use a variety of speeds from 28.8 dial up to highbandwidth. When you click on the link below, scroll to the bottom of the page and look for the Video and DialUp Audio links. Notice that we've given the visitor an option depending on their personal preference.

We don't set visitors up and get them excited just to leave them in the cold. Also notice that we provide a loose transcript of everything they can hear or see via the video stream or audio clip. Some people don't have the hardware for streaming and consequently are only capable of reading the information. Whatever the visitor's preference, we accommodate them appropriately.

Click» Made With The Trades and remember, once on this page scroll to the bottom and choose the link appropriate to your access speed. The Audio link is audio only (no video stream) and appeals to people with dial up access.

Example 2 is a site for professional communicators. The site, JeffAnsell.com is aimed at people who tend to have highbandwidth access. Jeff Ansell & Associates is one of the leading Media Training and Public Speaking companies in America and was recently listed in the Number 1 position of a PRWEEK special feature regarding media training.
