Did you know that many conferencing platforms can be branded to reflect your organization’s logos, colors and messaging easily and inexpensively? If you frequently interact with audiences outside of your organization via conferencing platforms, you may want to consider branding as a way to reinforce your organization’s brand and messaging with your participants.
Large organizations utilize branding services on their audio and web conferencing in order to reinforce their marketing messaging, logos, and branding seamlessly to outside audiences. Web conferencing branding allows you to closely mirror the look and feel of your website.
Smaller organizations like the way that custom branded 800 audio conferencing numbers and a branded web conferencing site give their organization the appearance of being a large industry player, and increase their name recognition. Your conferencing services provider can provide branding options to you, giving your participants the feeling they are on your organization’s own conferencing platforms.
Branding options at TelSpan include:
• Branded Toll-Free Audio Conferencing Numbers (“Welcome to the ABC Company Conferencing Center. Please enter your conference code.”)
• Branded Web Conferencing Platforms Hosted on Custom url’s (www.ABCCompanyWebConferencing.com)
• RegistrationPlus Online Registration Tool with Branding
At TelSpan we are happy to assist you with any questions you may have about branding our services. Our web conferencing branding and hosting fees are now lower than ever! Call us today to learn how conferencing branding can help your organization!
Part one in a series
At TelSpan we specialize in high-touch, critical conferencing events. But what is a conferencing event? You are probably familiar with reservationless audio conference calls, and possibly even web conferences, but a conferencing event takes conferencing to the next level. When your conference combines two or more technologies, involves a large number of participants, and needs to be professionally planned and executed, a conferencing event is in order.
Conferencing events are great for high profile calls such as Investor Relations Calls, Virtual Training and Educational Events, Public Relations Events, and Crisis Communications Events. In these types of conferences, it is crucial that the organization presents a professional image to their constituents. Having an operator on the call to make introductions, manage the participants and noise level, and conduct a professionally run Q&A can boost your organization’s image and credibility.
A TelSpan Event Advisor will assist you with the complete planning and execution of your event, and an Event Operator will ensure your conference is flawless and professional. Depending on your needs, a combination of online registration, operator assisted audio, web conferencing, and even streaming may be utilized.
In my next post we’ll begin to explore the different components of a successful conferencing event.
Webinars are a great way for associations and other organizations to add some extra income to their bottom line. By charging a participant fee, webinars can easily pay for themselves, or become a source of additional revenue!
Here’s an example of how one of our association clients utilized our Event Services to add over $1200 in revenue with just one 90 minute Webinar with 30 attendees, each paying $75 to attend:
|
Gross Revenue |
$2250.00 |
|
TelSpan Web Conferencing Event Fee |
-$200.00 |
|
Operator Assisted Conferencing Charge |
-$641.70 |
|
TelSpan Online Registration System |
-$75.00 |
|
Credit Card Processing Fees |
-$123.75 |
|
Net Profit for Association |
$1209.55 |
Let us know other ways you have utilized conferencing services to benefit your organization!
One of the great benefits of online systems is the ability to record and archive your event for future use. Create training or educational libraries by recording your events and archiving them. Those who wish to review the materials again, those who were unable to attend the original session, or those who join your organization at a later time can view these archived sessions on demand. You can even charge and collect a fee for archived event viewing, creating another revenue stream for your association.
Today’s organizations find they can do so much more, with less time, money and effort, by utilizing online training and education. Use the latest technology to streamline your programs, enhance your offerings to your members, expand your reach, save money, and even possibly generate revenue!
Implementing an online training and education program is easier than you think!

Have you considered reasons why your members may be seeking online training and educational programs? Here are some of those reasons!
1) Increase Time-to-Competency
Online programs allow you to bring your staff and members up to date as quickly as possible. Utilizing virtual training and education methods allows you to schedule updates on-demand, and more frequently if needed. Frequent, timely information will increase the overall competency of your audience, making them the experts in their fields. Can you say "Membership Value"?!
2) Strengthen Relationships
Become a strategic partner in the success of your members. Use online methods to bring information on changing laws, regulations, and other timely information to your members before others do. Establishing yourself as the “go-to organization” for information cements you as the organization of choice for your members. Information adds value to any relationship.
3) Increase Revenue
Create revenue-generating opportunities for your association by charging a fee for training and education. Associations strive to maintain relevance in today’s world. Those who are successful have discovered the rewards of offering education, training, and information as a value-add to their members. The benefits are many. Associations benefit from the non-dues revenue, increasing membership, and member retention. Members benefit from low-cost information, training, and continuing education units, often required for their job, certification or license. Associations today are fighting for membership dollars. Those who provide online services will rise above their competitors as they increase the value of their membership. Some programs may even be offered at no-charge or minimal charge to members when underwritten by a vendor or other sponsor.
In these challenging times. Everyone needs to consider programs that are easy to implement, and which increase bottom line revenue and add value to members. We at TelSpan are ready to help!
