Have you ever considered using video as a business card? A business card is a way to put someone in touch with your organization. A video can do that and so much more!

A video business card is an opportunity to make a positive first impression. Create a video that will captivate the viewer’s attention and lead them into your site while remaining informative. The main focus of the video business card is to introduce your organization, an event, a speaker, or your employees. TelSpan can help you present the video content professionally, corresponding to your organization’s image.

A video business card will help deliver a powerful impression. The footage you select for the video should relate to the philosophy and expertise of the person or subject being featured.

Advertising is a necessity for the success of your business and is one of the many reasons to consider online video. Because most people are able to absorb and retain double the information when receiving audio with images, as opposed to reading text alone, video is becoming more and more prominent in the corporate world.

Consumers are far more apt to watch video advertisements rather than to read textual ads. It is exponentially faster to receive information through online video than it is possible to read through a page of text.

TelSpan’s video production team is dedicated to keeping up with the latest trends and techniques in video production. Our goal is to help you in executing successful and effective corporate videos.

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.

TelSpan can work with you to create inventive ideas and achieve your organization’s video goals. Call us now for a free consultation and customized video project quote!

When shopping for video production services, you should approach potential vendors with a concept and purpose for your video, as well as a general budget of how much you are willing to spend on the project.

When building a budget, each project is approached differently. Some projects will be simpler than others, requiring minimal crew and equipment, while other projects will be full scale productions. Either way, it is crucial for the video production vendor to understand and analyze these core components:

• Who is the your target audience?
• What is the message you would like to convey?
• How do you want your organization to be perceived by your audience?
• What is the impression you would like to make?
• What is the preferred style of production (interview, product video, etc.)?
• What is the concept for the video project?

All of these aspects must be taken into consideration when building a budget. It’s also extremely useful to communicate how much you are willing to spend in advance in order for a  production team to assemble a realistic outline, timeframe, and budget.

Generally, organizations will request quotes from multiple vendors and receive a wide range of figures, however, quotes are adjustable and should not be the deciding factor to choose one production company over another, which — unfortunately — isn’t always the case.

Whether your budget is high or low – let TelSpan’s expertise bring the highest production value your budget will buy. When you are ready to explore video production for your marketing, training videos, and commercial needs, we offer a free consultation and customized video production quote. 

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!

Simulcast means “simultaneous broadcast” and refers to a program which is broadcast in multiple mediums. This great word may be applicable to your business!

We have found that a great many of our clients have a need to broadcast their live event in another manner.  The great news is that there are a very wide variety of tools and platforms available on which to conduct your simulcast. We can help to customize the solution that works best for you.

Here is an example of a recent live event simulcast:

We had a client who needed to produce a live stream of a speaker. The client utilized the event facility’s on-site audio and video crew, who relayed a live audio/video feed to TelSpan. TelSpan created a customized website URL which was then made available to over 5000 members of the client’s organization. The clients simply clicked the link and were able to access the stream live. We are also providing this client with an archived recording of the event. They can offer this to their members year round via TelSpan’s platforms.

Next week we’ll look at another example.
