There is no denying that the economy has placed a damper on the budgets of individuals and business alike. Yet, it is perhaps more important than ever to keep up on educating employees, clients, prospects and partners. With continuously advancing technology and decreasing degree of difficulty and cost, webinars provide a powerful tool for conducting presentations of all sorts.

Webinars provide the following:

• Cost-effective option for a meeting or presentation
• Powerful tool for presenting informative content
• Availability of turn-key resources that make it simple to conduct a webinar
• Ability to easily tailor content for your audience
• Less commitment for attendee than in-person event
• Broader reach than in-person events
• Positions company as industry leader
• Offers features such as slide show presentations, streaming video, VoIP, text and chat (for live question and answering), polls and surveys, screen sharing and meeting recording (to document meetings)

As consumers are increasingly relying on their smartphones to seek out information, having a presence on the mobile web has become an important element in a comprehensive web strategy. Orange Label client, Recovery Now TV strives to be the leader in their industry in the digital realm and as a response to this shift, recently launched an integrated mobile campaign.
 
To engage with a mobile audience, Orange Label launched Recovery Now TV’s  optimized mobile website this month that detects when users are visiting from any smart phone. This enhanced website includes key features such as treatment-related videos, an informational blog, links to treatment centers and contact information with a click-to-call phone number, in a streamlined design that is easy to navigate from a small screen. A cost-effective mobile PPC campaign was launched in conjunction with the site, to drive activity and generate leads.

The inclusion of a mobile campaign has already proven to be a valuable addition to Recovery Now TV’s digital strategy (created by Orange Label Art + Advertising), as the launch has already resulted in facility admissions.
