New AdvisorSquare WebSuites Bring Webinars, Podcasting and other Communication Technologies to Financial Professionals' Fingertips
NEW YORK, June 20, 2006 - Today at the Securities Industry Association's Technology Management Conference, LiveOffice Corp.'s (www.liveoffice.com) AdvisorSquare division introduced WebSuites, the next generation of websites, to the financial services industry. AdvisorSquare WebSuites are the first turnkey websites to couple professionally designed web pages with fully integrated collaboration and communication tools that allow financial professionals to connect and interact with their Internet-savvy clients and prospects.
Among their many features, AdvisorSquare WebSuites enable financial professionals to post pre-recorded podcasts and conduct online meetings and teleseminars right from the pages of their website. AdvisorSquare's WebSuites increase operational efficiencies, decrease travel expenses and enhance bi- and multi-directional communications.
WebSuites Make Financial Professionals Instant Podcasters
Two factors are at play in the increasing demand for financial information via podcast. First, financial advisors are looking for innovative ways to stay in touch with their clients. Second, many investors surf the web on a daily basis and now rely on it as their main source of financial information.
Podcasting is the natural next step for these investors because it provides them with the ability to download recorded financial and investment information right from a web page to their own portable player. This growing trend toward providing information via podcasting has led many financial advisors to begin searching for ways to produce their own downloadable recordings quickly and cost effectively.
AdvisorSquare WebSuites' podcast production capabilities provide the solution for financial advisors by allowing them to record a teleconference or audio portion of a web seminar and then immediately post it to their WebSuite as a podcast. Once posted, any client or prospect can either listen to the recorded session directly from the web page or download it to their portable MP3 player and listen to it while they are on the go or at home. In fact, podcasting is proving to be an excellent marketing tool for many firms because once a recorded session is posted; it can be picked up by search engines, which exposes it to an audience of hundreds, thousands or millions of potential listeners.
From Web Page to Web Conference
Visitors to an AdvisorSquare WebSuite can also join web conferences in real-time through the web page. All they have to do is visit the site, click on the web- or teleconference they want to join and they will immediately be gathered into a scheduled online web meeting where they can view PowerPoint slides, participate in question and answer sessions via online polling features, collaboratively work on a document, begin a hi-definition videoconference and more. In addition the web and audio portions of each meeting can be recorded and posted online for later playback at any time. This feature enables website visitors to listen to or watch posted seminars at their convenience.
Pre-Recorded Audio Greetings & Click-to-Call Features
AdvisorSquare WebSuites provide financial professionals with the ability to post an audio greeting to their site. When a visitor clicks on the audio greeting link, the voice of the site owner or spokesperson welcomes them to the website and provides them with any other relevant information or updates. This feature also acts as an essential part of a business continuity plan since it allows the site owner to record a message with updated contact information from anywhere. The recording is then posted to the website so that clients and employees are able to obtain the most up-to-date information on the status of the office building and emergency contact details, just by visiting the AdvisorSquare WebSuite's home page.
In addition, AdvisorSquare WebSuites' unique Click-to-Call feature provides an instant, live communication channel between site visitors and the business office. Site visitors simply click a button on the home page, enter in their phone number and are immediately connected via phone to a live person in the financial advisor's office.
All of the AdvisorSquare WebSuite features mentioned above are provided through LiveOffice, including on-demand, reservationless teleconferencing, web conferencing, video conferencing and podcast production.
Pricing and Availability
AdvisorSquare WebSuite pricing is the same as AdvsiorSquare's existing premium website package with a standard, one-time setup fee of $750 and an ongoing monthly maintenance and hosting fee of $149. Existing AdvisorSquare power users are already taking advantage of WebSuites, which will become publicly available next month.
