A couple of weeks ago I had to do a virtual site visit for a client in New York. We had 10 days to pull an event together and none of the decision makers were in town. I had 1 person in California and 2 in New York. Which immediately eliminated the Skype option, because as far as I know Skype does not doe video conference calling. So I had to come up with a plan B. Plan B consisted of broadcasting myself via ustream.tv. It was free and so easy to set up. You create a profile and a "show" then you send the link to your clients and they sign in to watch your "show". This simple virtual site visit enabled me to show the property live and book the client.
Another way this broadcasting can be used is for weddings. Not everyone has the ability to either physically or financially attend the weddings of their family and friends. A simple solution to this problem is to set up a "show" on ustream.tv and send the link to your family and friends that are unable to attend your wedding. Have a family or friend set up a laptop with a camera in the corner pointing it at your ceremony spot. This way everyone can enjoy your ceremony no matter where they are physically.
I have a few other ideas and a little bit of advice posted on www.downtownphoenixvenues.com

First Event of the Season
After a relatively quite summer the events season is about to hit. And to make it even better I have 2 last minute events that will be in the next month. Don't get me wrong I am not complaining, I am actually very excited, I just have to scramble to pull everything together.
The first event of the season is Fundraiser for Haiti to be held at the fabulous monOrchid. I am really looking forward to this event. I want to make sure each venue does at least five events a year that are focused on giving back. And the best way for us to do that is to participate in fundraisers and non profit events.
Our second event will be a last minute corporate gathering at the amazing Bentley Projects, we will then immediately dive into wedding season here at the Downtown Phoenix Venues.
