Response from families has been strong and positive. Funeral directors have measured website traffic increase 3 to 10-fold since linking VideoTributes to their website (on online obituaries). When you signed-up for VideoTributes we created a special Web Publishing account for you. You will need to read the Web-Publishing manual and read the brief section on “Configuring your VideoTribute Upload Settings” (It’s only 3 paragraphs.). After completing the upload configuration, create you show in an HTML format. Click the FILE button at the top-left of the VideoTribute screen then, select the UPLOAD SHOW button from the drop-down list. The show will start to upload. After the show is uploaded click the MANAGE SHOW text in blue then follow the screen prompts. (NOTE: Don’t press the OK, it is used for some of our program testing and we will soon remove it from the screen.) How do I update a VideoTribute I have already published to the Web?
Simply re-upload the your replacement VideoTribute using the same name as the original. This will replace the original VideoTribute with your new version. After uploading a VideoTribute and selecting MANAGE SHOW, the management screen will show you the web address of the VideoTribute you just uploaded. Simply copy and paste this web address into your obituary. See the web publishing documentation for tips on using specific obituary software and ways of making your link stand-out better. All you need to do is give the family the URL (i.e. the Web address) of the VideoTribute. When you upload the video to the Web, we give you the Web address. Just give that address to the family. (Even better, link it to your obituaries and invite them to visit your website to view the VideoTribute.) They can include this address in emails to friends and relatives. Recipients of the address only need to “click” on it to start the video. They are hosted on our Web-servers. The systems are designed to stream the VideoTribute in a way that starts the video instantly. Sixty days for free. You or the family can extend this time from 1 year to 10 years. When you upload your VideoTribute you can choose how long you would like to keep it online. We offer the first 60 days free-of-charge. If the family extends the amount this time, we will share these proceeds with you. Please write support@directors-Tribute.com to learn more … Do you contact my families? No, these are your customers and we respect your relationship with them. VideoTribute renewals are offered when people view the VideoTribute. We don’t contact them at anytime.
