My last posting generated some offline discussion related to explaining the benefits versus the capability. How about this alternative copy:

Our original thinking was that the Streaming Media magazine audience already knew the benefits of  webcasting and related services, so our focus was on the service offering versus the benefits.  Thoughts welcome…

We get most of our business through positive word-of-mouth from our customers,  but you still need a presence on the key industry sites. We just purchased a small advertisement space (about 1/8 page) in Streaming Media Sourcebook that most likely will be dwarfed in size by other advertisements. (For reference, here is an example. We are limited to 50 words.)

So what’s the best way to use this small space.  Here are three options we are considering. Your thoughts welcome!

It’s not easy to keep the names and affiliations of a large panel of speakers straight.  Not only is this confusing to your local audience, it can prevent them from asking directed questions to specific members of your panel.

When Coreography webcasts an event, we place the current speakers name and title on the live video (called lower thirds). But unless we send our program feed to the main projector, this does not help the local audience.

So what can you do?

If its a group panel discussion seated behind a table, consider using name placards in front of each speaker’s microphone.  This takes a little pre-planning to execute, but should eliminate your local audience’s confusion.
