GETTING BACK ON TRACK

While talking with many of you from time to time, the request for us to restart the newsletters has been overwhelmingly positive (understated)… With our internal systems now in place, look for a fresh newsletter from us monthly!


WHAT'S NEW?

Enhanced sound quality - Now playing @ 320KBS  vs FM radio @ 32 KBS

Some of our customers who have chapels or play the videos in large churches with Hi-Fi sound systems had requested higher quality audio; and “boy what a difference”.!

Full High Quality CD (Higher then most MP3’s you will find)

We are the only company providing MP3 Music at that level!

* Please Note: Do not publish your video to the web with high quality music, be sure to select matching web quality music. Large music files will slow down the time it takes to start a video…  The faster the video loads, the more people will enjoy and refer them…   Using Web Quality music your online videos will play instantly!

Expanded library - Now 750 songs total!
We have added Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, Easy Listening, 1940’s Big Band and more. You will really enjoy some of the new pieces; you’ll hear them in the samples below. Log in to the members area to download the latest music collection.

Moving Video Interludes

Quality moving interludes, it’s what you’ve asked for and we have delivered!
You know the saying; a picture is worth a thousand words.  You will be impressed!
Visit http://www.timeless-tributes.com/us/interludes.html to see the new interludes.

WHAT'S ON DECK?

Let us create VideoTributes™ for you; a new service coming soon!

Several of our customers have come to us and really encouraged us to provide this service.   We have always hesitated as we really believed VideoTributes™ can be done in house by you!
    
The reality is, sometimes you’re just too busy, or you’re out of town. That’s why there are still over 10 companies doing just that, creating videos for you.  How does it work?
     Drag or copy photos over to a folder.
     Fill out a questionnaire and email it to us, we’ll do the rest
     From 1 hour turn around to 24 hours - you tell us what you need and when

Don’t forget we can also log into your computer and help create your next VideoTribute™ with you. Please inquire for pricing and more information support@timeless-tributes.com

Screen Savers for your TV’s

By popular request we have created a DVD that is designed to be played on your TV when it’s not showing Tributes.   Filled with elegant scenery and touching quotes, you are able to select which chapter is most appealing to you.   Set a nice atmosphere at your funeral home, or use it as a way of demonstrating how VideoTribute™ can provide comfort to your families.  

WEB PUBLISHING

   What our customers who are publishing are saying…
     “Those who aren’t doing it are missing out”
     “It’s outperformed all other methods of advertising”
     “It creates tremendous good will – our families and community really appreciate them”
    
     What the Families are saying …
       “We can’t thank you enough for providing the Video in your obituary”
       “I enjoy being able to pull the video up while visiting friends or at family gatherings”
       “Thanks for being so committed to providing the extras that helped our family”

    What guests and friends are saying …
“We visit the funeral homes obituaries on a regular basis just to see the videos”
       “Our funeral home really uses technology in a smart and caring way”

    The numbers are Impressive…
      Millions of people come to watch these videos online. 
      The average video is watched 130 times by over 60 unique visitors.
      Each time a VideoTribute™ is watched online, your funeral home is getting the credit.

NUMBER OF VIDEOS CREATED

Over 50,000 videos have been created with VideoTributes so far this year.  With an average of 45 people watching each video at home and at the funeral service, that’s over 2,000,000 folks per year in the Funeral Homes and another 2,000,000 people watching them via the web!   We are honored to be an important part of this touching and important new trend.


SEE YOU AT THE NFDA
