Dear Patron,
Between the Congressional debt ceiling debate, worldwide market fluctuations, earthquakes, and hurricanes no one can say that the summer of 2011 was boring! While everything from the stock market to the ground beneath our feet has been moving wildly, our television service is something that Washington DC decision makers can count on, at an affordable price.
In an effort to help the commercial market keep pace with the rapidly changing environment we are introducing two new Twitter feeds.
Read on to find out how you can get a free $10 Starbucks card. And we don't stop there, we're also offering a powerful incentive for current customers who relocate their offices and take us with them! Please read the articles on each of these great offers and learn just how quickly and easily you can take advantage of them.
And as always, we invite your comments and feedback about how we can continue to serve your information needs. Simply send e-mail to capcon@gmu.edu.
Sincerely, The Capitol Connection Team |

Web Video: The Way We Do Business
The saying "a picture is worth a thousand words" has caught up to us with a vengeance. 
High-speed Internet and inexpensive recording devices ushered in the new age. For organizations this revolution poses the same opportunities and challenges as those presented by other social media tools. Invest too little attention and get left behind; invest too much and simply waste time and resources. Get it right and opportunity knocks.
What do you need to know to make the right decisions about incorporating video into your communications mix?
Challenge #1: Deciding what content serves your organization's needs and can be turned into well produced video. For example, can your organization share the release of an important report to your constituents or customers in a short video rather than an email of .PDF? Should you use video to provide exposure to your CEO or agency head? Should it be used for training or be added to your customer marketing mix?
Challenge #2: Choosing the right delivery vehicle. The good news is that the vehicles to distribute video messages are already at your fingertips and aren't complicated. Short, recorded videos can be posted on your website, on YouTube, or both. (It's easy to create a "channel" on YouTube as a portal for all your recorded videos.) For longer pieces, major events and those with a large audience, or to communicate excitement and immediacy turn to live, video webcasting. From the floor of a conference, a professional webcasting studio, or even from your own offices - high-quality webcasts can provide impact and value.
The best news is that the bar to enter the video communication world is low in terms of cost and the ROI can be great!
The Capitol Connection is the area's leading webcasting consultant and producer. We can assist your organization or agency with on-location live webcasting, in-studio webcasting or by recording and distributing your videos. Call 703.993.3100 or send e-mail to Julia Morelli at JMorelli@gmu.edu.
