Wyndstorm Corporation Presents Secure Social Networking at National Religious Broadcasters Convention: Premier Digital Media Provider, Wyndstorm Corporation (Booth 629) Introduces Secure Interactive Social Media for Family Value Programming

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (PRWEB) March 10, 2008

    With exponential growth in social networks in all consumer interest groups (over 230 million users as of 2007, Forrester Research), faith-based organizations are actively looking for cost-effective ways to expand their channels to reach, recruit, and retain their congregations and communities. The days of traditional marketing methods are over. To compete and grow strong communities, it is essential to create an online experience where members can share information, connect, and have access to content.

At this conference, Wyndstorm will demonstrate how technology and online marketing dramatically improve results for organizations wanting to build lasting relationships between community members; create strong support communities; and engaged constituents in the market. The Wyndstorm turn-key solution provides community and faith-based organizations with pre-built, proven applications, including social networking, podcasts, profiles, interactive games, 3-D virtual environments, and audio-visual chat. Over 50 user-friendly, fun, and safe features are available for Web-based outreach in religious sectors.

“Having built both start-up and large-scale social platforms, Wyndstorm understands the special needs of the religious and faith-based community. Our end-to-end solution combines the robust power needed to grow a high-traffic site with the ease of use features needed to attract diverse users, whether they be teenagers or senior citizens,” said Marian Sabety, President and CEO of Wyndstorm. “Wyndstorm’s social media environment is tailor-made, affordable, easy-to-manage, and safe. Site security is a priority. Wyndstorm uses effective techniques for keeping members of social networks safe, including ‘fencing’ to keep out site-crashers, and ‘positive identification’ to ensure predators are unable to pose as someone they are not. We can even track keywords in order to moderate the tone of site communications,” said Sabety.

“Today, communication, connectivity, and rich content are vital online considerations for all religious and faith-based organizations,” Sabety continued. “We are thrilled to be a part of this important niche segment event to share ways to enhance a religious community’s strength and presence in their market. We are pleased to present our services and expertise at NRB 2008, a group that respects and supports family value programming.”

AV Programming Associates Releases Their First Book Entitled Our Code: History, Practices and Processes of AVPA

Carlsbad, CA (PRWEB) April 01, 2014

AV Programming Associates, Inc. (AVPA) today announced the release of their first book, entitled Our Code: History, Practices and Processes of AVPA. The self-published book is a collection of stories, lessons learned, business best practices and historic insights. After more than thirteen years as President of AVPA, Matthew Grisafe wrote Our Code as a means to illuminate the company’s history and provide a backdrop to AVPA’s current processes and thinking.

“The lessons we’ve learned over the years are applicable to nearly all small businesses, not just Crestron programmers or those in the professional audiovisual industry,” said Matthew Grisafe, President of AVPA. “Some of the topics covered include the founding of AVPA, our experience launching a new venture on September 11th, 2001 and some of the attitudes we believe a successful business should maintain.”

“We employ well-established processes, and customers often ask why we stick to them. We’re obviously not perfect, but we know what works and how to avoid pitfalls as we navigate projects. The book hopefully provides a context for those processes, a background that helps people understand how we got where we are, and where we’d like to go moving forward. Almost every chapter includes a personal story that explains some of the challenges we’ve faced. We avoided being preachy, but the book offers insights that should be relevant to small business owners of all types. In that way, I expect Our Code may be both an interesting and useful read for a broad audience.”
