Welcome to 2009! This year we’re going to cover a vast array of topics relating to Flash Streaming for both live and on demand services. We’ll give you the lowdown on the latest developments regarding all things Flash, introduce you to some of our clients and their uses of our services, give you ideas for improving you own use of Flash Streaming and generally have a jolly old time.

Stop (the) Press!...

Seriously – have you seen the news recently? Certainly many are struggling and the decimation of some very well known brands on the UK high street does not do much for consumer confidence but if all you watch is the latest BBC / CNN / Sky business reports you’d be forgiven for thinking the world was ending tomorrow (or possibly the day after)

All businesses are, naturally, looking to cut costs whilst still increasing demand for their services but fortunately it is NOT all doom & gloom.  

We're still spending money...

The average weekly value of total sales in the UK in November was £5.8 billion, 2.9 per cent higher than in November 2007 (source: statistics.gov.uk)

So potential clients are out there, and they are spending money. What matters is making your message stand out from the crowd.

Adding compelling Flash Streaming content to your website will help you do this.

Whether it’s a product demonstration, an introduction to your services or a testimonial from a satisfied client, a short and professional video can grab your visitor’s attention, get your message over in seconds, and help turn browsers into buyers.

Some really good examples from some of our clients can be seen on our showcase page here: www.flashstreaming.co.uk/streaming_showcase.asp

And, if you don’t yet have the video you need, just get in touch. We have established partnerships with some very skilled video producers who have filmed and produced content for many of our clients.

If you have any questions you can always call me on 01242 587734 or email blog@streamingwizard.com

Regards for now – see you all next week!
