description of your product or service, and accept the questions
from the audience and pass them on to the host(s). This
assures a smooth transition of information. You can choose
to have the session hosted by a single individual or 2 or
3 people. Multiple hosts do not have to be in the same location
or even the same city; they just have to have internet access.

Vendor Sponsored Chat Session package includes a banner
advertisement. The banner will be displayed on Digichat
page during the scheduled session and for 30 days after.

so that someone is always there if a problem should arise.

in the Echo-Web newsletter and on our home page. A transcript

given the password can access this room. Once set up the
staff of Echo-Web will not be included in your chats.
The
Private Chat Room can be used as often as you like. You
can conduct online sales conferences, or invite customers
to “talk” with you and/or your staff. You can
schedule staff and customers to address training concerns.
The possibilities are many, just think how you can cut the
cost of long distance and international telephone calls!
Transcripts
of chat sessions can be provided with advance notification.
You can then post or e-mail the transcript, as you like.
Our
staff will set up the room, train you, and provide technical
assistance as needed. If you think you need Echo-Web

needs.
