The use of video is becoming critical for organizations to reach businesses and consumers alike. Few organizations utilize video to its full capability which would increase efficiency and productivity. Consider the amount of information delivered in a single presentation or seminar. A large amount of that valuable content is lost after the initial delivery. Not only do recipients lose some of the message you were trying to deliver, but many times there is no effective way to review or share it.
Incorporating video into your organization’s communication plan has become much easier and is expected more now than ever. Cost, storage demands, and content delivery issues are being resolved through technological advancements. Even if organizations are engaging in online videos, it is not often that they are successfully reaping the full benefit without professional execution. With the expertise and dedication to quality TelSpan’s Video Production Team offers, an organization can transform its content into usable, valuable, business intelligence, resulting in exponential savings and productivity.
At TelSpan, we can work with you to create inventive ideas and achieve your company’s video goals. Call us now for a free consultation and customized video project quote!
Studies show that online video views are consistently increasing each month. Why? Uploading video can greatly enhance your website and increase traffic.
There are many available options for organizational videos. Here are few possible applications for your organization’s video usage:
Instructional Videos
• Training videos for employees
• Orientation videos for new employees
• Safety videos
• Tutorials
• Educational content for professionals
Product or Service Videos
• “How to” videos
• Promotional videos
• Informational videos
• FAQ videos
• Troubleshooting videos for technical products
The demand for video production is increasing every month. In this fast paced world you need video to keep up with the expected convenience of this medium that your audience is accustomed to.
The proliferation of smart phones and other mobile devices not only allows access to video on the go, but new devices encourage the use of video. People are becoming more accustomed to the idea of video and it will soon be expected. Not only is video a convenient method of communication, but studies prove that viewers are able to retain information better through seeing and hearing, as opposed to simply reading text.

Online video is one of the most significant means of transmitting information to the public today. Never before has so much information been so readily available to the public. With this technological evolution, it is absolutely vital for your organization to understand the benefits of video marketing in order to grow, advance, and surpass the competition.
Here are a few basic types of video you should know about and information about how they can benefit your organization right now.
Viral Video – Viral videos are found outside of your business website and are intended to gain viewership and popularity through Internet sharing on social media sites or via email. Because you want your video shared and viewed as much as possible, it is necessary that it be of interest to viewers. Having some sort of entertainment value will help; however, the goal is to use it for promotional and/or marketing purposes with the objective of reaching a broader audience.
Conversion Video – This type of video is generally found on your company’s website. The intention is to engage visitors or introduce your company. The goal is to capture the viewer’s attention which will result in them spending more time on your website and thus increase your chances of converting a client and increasing revenue.
Educational/Training Video – This form of video is used to educate an audience about services, goals, products, or safety. A good educational video can help establish credibility between a potential client and your business as it will project your company as a business with innovative ideas.
For all your viral, conversion, and training video needs, TelSpan offers free consultation for a customized video project quote!
Many of us are affected by current economic conditions. Everyone is cutting costs and saving anywhere they can. Be sure you aren’t cutting expenses where you can’t afford it... do not cut back on marketing budgets. Marketing and promotion are both strategies to bring in business. Attract new clients by investing in fresh, relevant video marketing campaigns. Because video marketing can be distributed affordably, informs visually, and can be optimized online for search engines, it allows you to extend your business to a broad audience. And since videos are shared online on a daily basis, this will drive more traffic to your website which, in turn, will increases potential sales as well as build your brand.
Because competition is continually growing and your competitors are developing more video content, it is important to take advantage of this opportunity. If you aren’t participating in video marketing, you could be losing money.
There are lots of free avenues to distribute your video content. You Tube and other social media websites are great avenues for marketing. Videos are relevant to today’s time and how people use the internet. It is very probable that your potential clients are shopping for businesses via the web right now. Learn how video marketing can help promote your business. It is easier and less expensive than you think!
We have a client in the financial industry that regularly holds luncheons with a presentation to prospects about the services their firm offers. Realizing that they were missing out on additional prospects who were unable to physically attend for one reason another, this client reached out to TelSpan for assistance.
With a variety of platforms available, we were able to craft a solution enabling this client to broadcast out the audio portion of the event as well as the slide presentation, live over web and phone lines in real time. In this case, due to a lack of internet access at the luncheon facility, a TelSpan operator assisted offsite with pushing the slides for the remote audience, and coordinated the entire presentation with the speaker via the audio line. Remote attendees are able to access the presentation from anywhere with their pc and telephone.
Talk to us about how your next live event can reach an even larger audience!
Think about how pervasive video is in our everyday lives now. Websites are filled with it. YouTube is a search engine. We watch it on all types of devices from anywhere at any time. Anyone can shoot video with a simple cell phone or small camera and post it to the internet immediately.

Have you ever been a participant in an audio, web or video conference? If so, has anything annoyed you during the conference? If you’re like most people the answer is a resounding “yes’! Let me guess what might have annoyed you during the conference:
• Participants multitasking
• Participants checking email or surfing the web
• People leaving the room
• Side conversations
• People noticeably zoning out
• Participants not shutting their office door
• Participants eating and drinking
• Cell phone interruptions
• Lack of eye contact on video
If you are participating in (or hosting!) a conference, take a moment to remember etiquette for meetings. The same “rules” apply whether you are meeting in-person or in some virtual manner. With the introduction of web conferencing and video via webcams, the offenses above are even more noticeable and disruptive than they were on a purely audio conference.
Best practices include:
• Act just as you would at an in-person meeting
• Turn of cell phones
• Don’t check email, surf the web, or multitask
• Don’t rustle paperwork or fidget with items on your desk
• Don’t conduct side conversations
• Shut your office door
• Dress appropriately if you are on camera
• Do not eat or drink
• If using cameras be sure to make eye contact; remember that means looking into the webcam when speaking, not just at your computer monitor
• Above all, pay attention!
With attention to these particulars, you will be focused, engaged, and a valuable contributor to your next virtual meeting.
