Setting up Conference Calls
Sep 1st, 2007 by MAT
As a marketing and advertising agency, you would have encountered instances where you needed to set up a conference call or a web conferencing session. But as we all know, a conference call can be very expensive, especially if it is across international borders.
Imagine that you have to link up your client who is downtown, with the subsidiary office in Hongkong and the chief designer in the USA. Your conference call bill can kill most of your profits! Well, I believe that there are solutions for this. Take for example http://www.accuconference.com, they offer a web conferencing service that costs a fraction of standard voice conferencing calls. But more importantly, they are able to provide a host of professional conferencing services that should meet most of your conferencing needs.
I have used a few conferencing services before, and generally, they are all about the same. The key really is in the cost structure. AccuConference 2 looks like a comprehensive service. There is also a convenient comparison chart that can give you a fair idea of the offering vs industry leading alternatives.
Whether you are running a local agency or an international agency, there will come a time when you need conferencing services. If your clients are scattered across several countries, going to your local telephone company to set up a conference call is going to cost you plenty. Consider other alternatives. Web Conferencing is definitely something you have to explore and get yourself familiar with.
