► WHAT'S NEW?
We have been very busy since our last newsletter!
As you know, it has been over 1 year now since Timeless Tributes™ took over Directors-Tribute. We have made a lot of great changes over this time, but we feel the best has yet to come. We are looking forward to a great year!
Timeless Tributes™ acquires YourTribute!
 We have made it official. Timeless Tributes is now in full control of YourTribute. What does this mean for you? In the future you will see better video management along with new and improved pricing for uploading videos. Because many obituaries are placed on the web for at least a year or longer, we have been asked to include in our pricing a 5 year option. Here are the new YT prices (all in USD):
| 30 Days |
FREE |
| 90 Days |
$4.95 |
| 1 Year |
$9.95 |
| 5 Years |
$19.95 |
Increased FTP Server Space
 It is so annoying to receive the error "500 Quota Exceeded". We have doubled the maximum FTP space for all FTP accounts from 1 GB to 2 GB! If you receive the upload error give us a quick email or phone call and we will upgrade your account to 2GB for FREE!
*Please note: Do not publish your video to the web with high quality DVD music, be sure to use the WEB quality music. Large music files will slow down the time it takes to start the video... The faster the video loads, the more people will enjoy and refer them!
Auto-Delete Expired Videos
Expired videos will soon be set to auto-delete 12 months after expiration. This gives the family the option to renew the video at the anniversary of death if they visit your website to view the tribute. You may still continue to delete videos from YourTribute Management; however, it will no longer be a necessary part of your uploading life!
New More Secure Billing
 We feel that nothing is more important than protecting the information of our clientele. With so much fraud going on, it is very important that we ensure the security of all information given to us.You will notice the next time you use our billing system to upload a video, purchase a product, or renew your license, you will find a new billing page. The page ensures the safety and security of your CC info.
For your added convenience, we are now accepting Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover Cards!

Video Interludes
We have just released 11 new video interludes including many of our customers requests - golf, waterfalls, and more!

Music
 We often receive requests for new music; however, adding another 300 songs would only serve to boggle the mind! We wouldn't be the best without your suggestions! Send us an email to support@timeless-tributes.com with the genres of music you would like us to add in a future update.
► WEB PUBLISHING
Did you know that the average video is watched 130 times by over 60 unique visitors?
 Each time a tribute video is viewed on YourTribute, your funeral home is getting that credit. Our customers who are uploading are impressed with the increased traffic they get to their website. An increase in traffic means that your funeral home is getting noticed!
We realize that not every family member and friend can make it to a funeral. Providing an upload service for you helps you to provide a better service to your families by bringing them closer together in their time of need. It is a very special service that families around the globe are appreciating.
Email support@timeless-tributes.com for more information.
