5)Some web-enabled presentation challenges include
need to keep people involved – you can do this easily by leveraging
chat capabilities, dynamic polling, and standard Q&A components built into
application. The higher their interest level (as in real world meetings)
better your meeting or presentation will be.
6)Marketing presentations can be easily archived and made available to others on a 24/7 basis – this archiving can include
standard presentation, enhanced with video or audio components, depending on
sophistication of your presentation. Be prepared to pay an extra charge for this – but
marketing ROI can be significant, especially when you factor in how little most companies charge for an archiving service versus your front end costs.
7) Virtual marketing enables a whole set of web-enabled processes – you will have
ability to easily capture your prospect/customer's e-mail address and standard contact points via a registration process, involve them and capture preferences via polling in your presentations and "push" follow up communications during your presentation/meeting or later. But, it's very important to include standard "privacy" statements in your materials and adhere to them as you move forward through your business processes.
8) How does video conferencing impact your assessments of web-enabled presentations or collaborations? This depends on your budget, number of people attending
presentation, presenter and attendee locations and other intangible that are specific to your business. In general, video conferencing works better for very small (under five people) presentations or meetings, due to some of
inherent challenges of this medium.
