Executive Offices Group Pushes Video Conferencing
Published April 23rd, 2010 by Jennifer LeClaire
Want to see a smart serviced office company in fine marketing form? Check out Executive Offices Group. With all the hubbub about the Icelandic volcano that kept travelers stalled for days, the company is taking the opportunity to reinforce its video conferencing play.
London’s Executive Office Group is offering video conferencing at a reduced introductory rate across three of its most popular meeting room venues. It’s a smart hook. With so much media attention focusing on video conferencing this past week, business people have a reason to check into technologies like video conferencing. And Executive Office Group’s marketing program makes it easy.
“Video conferencing is cost effective, carbon efficient and reliable, enabling you to link up with clients and colleagues across the world,” says Emily Smith, marketing director of Executive Offices Group. “Our video conferencing facilities allow you to dial in to your meeting delegates at multiple sites, enabling you to communicate and present your meeting material effectively in person.”
Again, brilliant timing. Executive Office Group is making its meeting room venues available as part of the new video conferencing offer, which also introduces business customers to a wider range of its services. Even if people never rent serviced office space, this is a great way for area businesses to get familiar with the meeting room option and the video conferencing solutions for future use.
What kind of discount can you expect on the video conferencing services? Executive Offices Group cut its introductory price from £140 per hour to £99 per hour on for the first booking. The service includes user-friendly video conferencing equipment such broadband internet, plasma screens, cable TV and premium audio-visual equipment. The company also offers a dedicated video conference team for booking, room preparation and technical support.
If you’ve been thinking about trying out video conferencing anyway, this is a good time to do it. If other executive office suite companies with video conferencing capabilities are watching, they’ll launch similar introductory programs to, if nothing else, help get the word out about their services before the next delay or disaster that prevents travelers from doing business away from their home location.

Smart move. I remember like 15 years ago when there was so much talk about how video conferencing was going to revolutionize the industry. Not much happened. Then after 9/11 there was more talk and video conferencing gained momentum in office space talk. This is another step in the evolution of future office space. But I think there’s still a few more steps before this goes mainstream.

I agree with @Bill. The whole video conferencing issue got pretty hot after 9/11 and it did gain some ground. Each time something like this happens, whether it’s an earthquake, a terrorist attack, or just some sort of major disruption at the airlines, video conferencing gets a little bit more publicity and a little bit more usage.
