Travel Agents Applaud the Latest UVRS Events Produced by globalspeak.com Home

The newest additions to the growing number of France Ultimate Virtual Road Show (UVRS) events concluded with the last two of a series, one on the South of France and the second on the Rhone Alpes, featuring the region and four location partners sharing the spotlight and cost. Produced entirely by Atlanta-based globalspeak.com, using its proprietary Ultimate Virtual Road Show platform, registered travel agents across the U.S. attended the exciting live event in an online conference room that featured beautifully produced region travel videos for 20 minutes, followed by a live 20 minute Q&A with the four expert partners in France on Webcams.  Among the customized interactivity in the room was a lively text chat between the audience and experts for additional questions, answers and comments, including favorable comments from the well-pleased audience.

 

The live France Virtaul Fam events were recorded, then made available for on-demand viewing by unlimited numbers of travel agents at http://www.globalspeak.com/uvrs/france8/ and http://www.globalspeak.com/uvrs/UVRSRhoneAlps10/.  Live and on-demand registration reports allow the UVRS host and partners to follow up with the agents to keep them informed about the newest regional tourism opportunities.

 

Globalspeak.com, an Atlanta-based new media marketing and technology company, manages and produces the France UVRS events by interfacing with staff of a French government agency with offices in New York City and Beverly Hills, California, while also training and coordinating one host and four event partners in separate France locations – all virtually with no land based connections at all.

 

Globalspeak can adapt the UVRS event Website platform for other travel destinations, local and international, as well as customize the Ultimate Virtual Road Show for companies that need to reduce expenses for land based events and training.  No hotels, no air or car travel, no traffic jams…

 

Benefits of a UVRS

When compared to the traditional land-based road show or event, the UVRS

  • saves an organization travel money and time,
  • reduces the demands on presenting executives and experts,
  • conveniently reaches a larger dispersed audience,
  • provides better information retention by 50% using video,
  • delivers a memorable experience for the audience, which transfers to the content
  • produces educational and sales results,
  • builds the host’s image as an industry leader when using the newest media and social rich technologies,
  • offers detailed live and on-demand audience registration data as desired,
  • and frees host personnel to do other activities because globalspeak.com produces the entire event!

When compared to passive and massive web sites, the UVRS promotes lively audience interaction and focused sales messages. What can beat the live social extras of the live event or 24/7 convenience of the on-demand event?

 

What is a UVRS – for the Travel Industry as Well as Others? An Overview.

A UVRS begins with a graphic email invitation sent to the desired audience -- in the case of France -- U.S. agents able to book international travel announcing the host country’s live online event.  Invitees register for the live event, providing pre-determined professional information desired by the host.

 

On the day of the live event, the 200 “elite” audience members use a password that was contained in their registration confirmation to enter the online conference room where beautiful pre-produced videos -- for the French, about the (usually) four participating host country regions, cities, hotels, transportation or other partners -- are shown for 20 minutes.  Then, using Webcams from anywhere in the world, topic-related experts participate in a 20 minute Q&A in the online conference room.  At the end of the event, one of the audience members still in attendance becomes the winner of a grand prize donated by one of the partners.  The audience experience is very informative and social – customized with text messaging within the room for the audience to text chat with the experts and among themselves, participation in polls, read Twitter type announcements and more...  The live event is recorded for later on-demand 24/7 availability by unlimited audiences – bandwidth is available for thousands of agents at any one time! -- across the U.S. and promoted using email invitations and other marketing activities. The host is provided with full live and on-demand event registration information for follow up and further relationship building.
