Creative Ways to Use Your Voxwire Meeting Room

Web conferencing has become quite easy to use. Voxwire MeetingRooms allow you to host large events or small online meetings. Our customers continue to develop creative uses for their MeetingRooms. We include some of them on this page to help everyone think of new ways to use their Rooms. If you come up with any other ideas, please let us know.

1. Web Seminar Series
Develop a web seminar series on topics of importance to your customers. Use the event series to demonstrate the value of your products and services. Host the events on a scheduled basis. Feature speakers who customers know will provide solid information and knowledge that hey can use in their every day work.

2. Web Event Premiere
Roll out the red carpet! You can host a web event premiere that serves much the same purpose as a premiere does for the movie industry. Here's how: Develop a special, "invite only," web conference for an important announcement, new product introduction or new campaign. Make it a newsworthy event by presenting on a topic that would be of interest to the participants. And then invite your most important media contacts, industry analysts and whoever else you want to influence. You'll be adding a personal touch and elevating the level of conversation with your attendees.

3. E-commerce and Sponsorships
Feature an expert or a well-known person who will attract an audience of targeted individuals for a web conference. Find a sponsor for the event whose product or service is relevant to the people attending the web conference. Feature the speaker for 30 minutes and then give the sponsor 10 minutes to talk on a topic of real interest to the attendee's. For attending the seminar, people receive a coupon for the sponsor's product or service that they can redeem at the e-commerce site or by downloading and bringing it to a store for redemption.

4. Trade Shows - MeetingRoom style
Trade shows are getting pricey. It can cost a bundle to ship a booth, set up and pay for a few days at a hotel. Voxwire MeetingRooms can be used to create a virtual trade show, where different companies can participate in interactive sessions with people interested in learning more about the company's products and services

A book tour can get expensive, sending authors out on the circuit. But Voxwire MeetingRooms can save on some of those costs. Authors can participate in web conferences that are co-marketed with e-commerce companies, online communities and off-line entities that want to drive traffic to their stores. These are also good opportunities to cross-market different tittles and related products that appeal to the people attending the author's web event.
