Vault Multimedia

To all of my clients and to everyone we have been able to serve this year: Thank you.  It has a been a great year.  Year 3 is always a critical year for a new business and Vault Multimedia is no exception.  Despite a slow first quarter, and the ecomomic downturn, business has been steady.  In part, small businesses, churches, and non-profits all need to do a great job communicating with the public and to maintain a strong website.  A great website is a non-negotiable in today’s market… and we are greatful.

We try to keep a close eye on the local “competition”. While we have not yet found a small business in the Roseville/Rocklin area with the same vision and strengths that Vault Multimedia enjoys, we have seen a few peer companies fall by the wayside this year.  Vault remains focused on our niche’, competitively priced, and dedicated to providing great personal service.  Thanks again for letting us serve you.

Bayside Woodland is a Bayside church plant in Woodland, CA.  Bayside (the parent church) is located in Roseville, CA.  I have done a few other Bayside churches in the area and have really enjoyed working with all of them.

Metro Calvary is a church in Roseville, CA… actually it is my home church.  If you visit, you should really check out the sermon audio sections.  All the sermons are served up using PortableSermons.com, our sister site.

Calvary Chapel El Cajon actually found out about us through the MetroCalvary.org site we did. They were looking to update their entire “Brand”, including the logo, bulletin, website, etc. We did several versions of the logo as well as what you see on the website.

We built Portable Sermons to solve the “Podcasting Problem.”  Now its the easiest way to post sermon audio online, stream your audio, offer it for download, even send it to a friend.  You just upload and title it - we take care of the rest.  There is a free service or you can “Go pro” for unlimited storage for $29/mo.

If Vault Multimedia has built your website, or hosts your church website, you may have access to the newsletter tool after logging in to your site.  This Newsletter tool allows you to send newsletters to a list of subscribers.  Its handy and does a great job, but you may need a bit of help getting started.  Read on to read instructions and view some basic screen shots explaining the process.

After teaching a workshop on Podcasting for churches, we put together this list of items that we recommend you purchase to get your church’s sermons on-line as quickly and as simply as possible.  (compiled February 25, 2008)

The following can be purchased online at Amazon.com:

1. Apple iPod nano 8 GB
   Current price: $179.64 (10% discount)
2. Macally iVoiceIII -  iPod Audio Recorder Black (IP-A181)
   Current price: $31.15 (65% discount)

In addition you would need the following:

1. Line in cord. You would also need to purchase the correct line cord to run from your sound board to the line-in on the iVoice III.
   Cost for the cord will probably run in the neighborhood of $10-30.
2. PortableSermons.com Pro account. This will serve all of your uploaded sermons for as long as you have the account.
   The cost is $29.00 per month.
