Non-Profit Conference Call Services: Low Cost Conferencing for Non-Profits and Associations

Submitted by lees on Sun, 2012-01-08 22:25

 

Non-profits and associations can benefit greatly by using conference call services designed to improve productivity and cut expenses.
 
Over the years we've been able to save non-profits a considerable amount of money because they generally don't scrutinize or review their conference call expenses closely and seldom shop around for better rates.  "If it ain't broke, don't fix it," is a usual refrain.  However, many non-profits have been using brand name services for years, never thinking that telecommunication costs have been cut substantially because of competition and overcapacity.  When non-profits look at the current rates offered in the conferencing world, sometimes they are shocked at how much they can save -- usually they can cut their conferencing expenses in half, or more.
 
That's why it's always a good practice to review the conference rates you are paying now and look for bids or quotes from other providers.  Moreover, there are additional conferncing services available today that didn't exist several years ago.  For example, rather than paying more for toll free service, you may want to investigate the new "local access" conferencing which provides a local call-in number.  If most of your conferees or guests are from your own city, you can cut your rates in half by just having everyone call a local number to access the conference.  No long distance costs, and you save resources to apply to other areas of your budget.
 
There is one more important aspect that needs to be mentioned -- the time and efforts of your volunteers.  Physical face-to-face meetings can kill a morning, afternoon, or evening for your volunteers.  Yes, the mission is important, but they donating services away from their businesses and families.  One of simple things you can do to make their lives easier is to have more conference calls that can accomplish the same results in a fraction of the time.  Your volunteers will thank you for valuing their time and make their jobs more convenient.
 
Overall, conference call services are a key component in managing a successful non-profit organization or association.  Big or small, conferencing can achieve results with your board, volunteers, sponsors, supporters or clients.  Take a look at our varied conferencing services across the top of the page and choose the one that works best for your organization.  We're here to help you so give us a call anytime -- there is no set-up fee and you can have your first conference call today.

Conference Service: Telephone Conference Call Service Rates and Plans

Submitted by lees on Sun, 2011-08-14 11:01

 

Conference service over the telephone, also known as audio teleconferencing, can be easily obtained with a variety of rates and plans, serving a wide range of business and non-profit needs and budgets.
 
Using a professional conference service is not only more convenient, but it is far less costly than attempting to install special conferencing hardware and software.  When you outsource your conference service, you avoid any set-up, maintenace and overhead costs and, in addition, you are able to begin conferencing immedately.  95% of all conferencing is outsourced in the United States because the service is convenient and inexpensive.
 
There are several conference service plans to choose from.  Here is a quick review and rundown of the most popular conference services.  For more details you can click on the links below, or you can find the various services on the left hand sidebar or top of the page navigation links.
 
Pay Per Use Conference Service:  This is also known as "pay as you go" conferencing, and provides you 24/7 access.  There is no need to make reservations.  Once you get your call-in number and passcodes, you can use it anytime.  Your credit card is charged only after you use the service.  There is no monthly minimum, so if you don't use it, there is no charge.  A perfect conference solution for occasional users.
 
Per Minute Conference Service:  90% of the conferencing in the United States is done on a per-minute basis.  Minutes are calculated by the number of callers times the number of minutes (i.e. 10 callers on the conference for 10 minutes = 100 minutes.)  You are charged after the call and are only billed for the time you use, no more or less.  You have your choice of a toll free dial number, or a regular long distance number (slightly cheaper.)  
 
Supersaver 800 Conference Service: (pre-paid bundled):  This discounted service, with a toll free dial in number, provides discounted rates and is modeled after your cell phone plan.  You pre-pay for a certain number of minutes each month.  This is a very popular service for businesses and organizations that have predictable usage and know how many conference minutes they generally use every month.  There is no long term contract, and this service goes month to month.  So, if you wanted to purchase a large number of discounted minutes one month, and not the next, that can be easily arranged.
 
Local Number Call-In Conference Service:  This is a per-minute conference service, but rather than dialing a toll free or long distance number to access the conference, you call a local number in your area.  (We have over 100 local numbers in the U.S. and Canada.)  Not only is this service less expensive than dialing a toll free number, but it also provides a tremendous convenience for callers to use a local number.  Very popular, particularly if the callers are centralized near a large city.  Also, you can get local numbers in several large cities and have everyone in the same conference.
 
Operator Conference Call Service:  Full service conference, including professional operators who call out to each of your parties and place them in the conference.  You can also have an operator on the conference itself to manage Question & Answer sessions or coordinate the muting and lecture modes.  This is the preferred choice for legal and deposition conference calls, or investor relation calls or high-profile or important calls where you are looking to provide top level service.  An ideal solution for landing that big contract.
 
Flat/FIxed Rate Conference Service (pre-paid unlimited use):  Fixed Rate conferencing is ideal for heavy users because you get unlimited usage.  You can conference anytime you want, for as long as you want.  Everyone dials a long distance access number (we have a New York City 212 access number and others in the Mid-West) to get into the conference call.
 
Video Conference Service:  As technology advances, costs for video conferencing have come down substantially.  In fact, the expensive conference rooms with large video screens and television cameras are a thing of the past.  The operative words are "desktop conferencing" where you and your participants use small webcams (cost about $25-50) and can view each other in high quality transmissions.  There are some free services like Yahoo and Skype that offer video conferencing for one-on-one exchanges.  However, for larger calls you'll need an outsourced video conference service.  This also gives you features that will share powerpoint presentations, slide shows, documents, and participants can also see your desktop, so they can follow again and see whatever is on your computer screen.

Toll Free Conference Call Service Company: U.S. & Canadian Access

Submitted by lees on Wed, 2011-06-22 15:58

 

Toll free conference bridge services are readily available and can save businesses and organizations a substantial amount of money because there is no need to buy expensive conference hardware or software. In fact, most conference vendors do not charge a start up fee, and you can use the service on a pay-as-you-go basis. You can get set up in a manner of minutes to begin using toll free conferencing.
 
There are two types of toll free conferencing services:
 
1)  Pay-As-You-Go Toll Free Conferencing:  You are charged after your conference call  service for the exact number of minutes you use.  The rate is 7.9 cents per minute, per person.  So, 10 people on the phone conference for 10 minutes would equal 100 minutes or $7.90.  This a good solution if your conference usage is sporadic or spikes.  You don't want to pay for conferencing services you may not use.
 
This option includes all incoming conference calls from the United States and Canada.  Depending on the set-up, you would be charged on a credit card, and sent a receipt.
 
The advantages of this option include only paying for what you use -- no more or less. And if there are some months you are not conferencing at all, there is no cost. That's why this option is ideal for the occasional or casual user.
 
2)  Supersaver Toll Free (modeled after cell phone plans where you pre-pay for a certain number of discounted minutes):  Here you get a discounted "bucket of minutes" every month.  For example, 1200 minutes for $59, which equates to a little less than 4 cents per minute, per user.  This is ideal if you have a good idea of how many minutes you each other.
 
This conference plan is very similar to how cell phone plans operate, when you buy a certain amount of minutes each month and pay for them whether you use them or not. Some refer to this as a "bucket plan" since you get a bucket of minutes.
 
This option is ideal if you are regular user and have a general idea of how many conference minutes per month you will use. When you break down the per minute pricing, this option is much less expensive than the pay-as-you-go per minute plans. Even if you overestimate the number of minutes you will use, you can still save money. But then again, you will be billed for the bucket of minutes you buy, whether you use them or not.
 
Overall, you should remember that there is no such thing as "free toll free conferencing." Every vendor in the conference business charges for toll free service. Businesses and organizations enjoy toll free conferencing services because it provides customers, prospects and associates a convenient way to collaborate without the cost of dialing a long distance number. It may be more expensive than regular toll conferencing, but offering conference participants a toll free number provides a level of professionalism and shows everyone that you take your conference meetings seriously and that the discussions are important to you.
 
Toll free conference bridge services will continue to increase in popularity in the future because of how much time and money they save the participants. What would normally take an afternoon in getting everyone together can be accomplished in just a few minutes by meeting on the phone, rather than in person.
 
You can get more valuable information about 800 toll free conferencing options by calling us at 877-254-2424 and having one of our friendly associates help you choose the best option for your situation.
