ActiveAccess Launches "MyDSALive" for the Direct Selling Association to Better Engage Its Members with Important News and Information : Desktop Appl
CHANTILLY, Va. (Business Wire EON) July 15, 2008 -- "MyDSALive" complements DSA's monthly radio show and website, Direct Selling 411 (http://www.directselling411.com), a new resource about the direct selling business, and will contain access to streaming audio of the radio broadcasts as well as updates of the 411 website's new blog and other RSS blog feeds.
"We needed to connect with the international direct selling community while minimizing the use of email and traditional mail as sole tools of communication," said Amy Robinson, vice president of communication at the DSA. "ActiveAccess' technology allowed us to reach our members in a unique way to keep them current on our activities and for the information not to be lost in a sea of other communications."
A video describing the application is available at: http://www.dsa.org/videos/dsaliveintro.wmv.
ActiveAccess can operate in the offices or homes of DSA members and does not interfere with corporate servers or network environments. Once installed, the "MyDSALive" icon can be activated with a mouse click or by DSA itself when it needs to issue scrolling text alerts. This feature was particularly appealing to the DSA so they could immediately get the attention of their members of important or breaking industry news.
"Large member associations such as the DSA are able to benefit from ActiveAccess' unique content delivery platform because they can communicate using a method that makes them stand out from the daily news and information noise," said Thomas Buono, President and CEO of BIA Financial Network, parent company of BIA Information Network. "The application's ability to target information through zip code and other user preferences also adds to its dynamic ability to reach one hundred or one thousand members at once."
Members of DSA will be able to access the desktop application through a light-weight download that requires about as much memory as a single webpage, containing no adware, spyware or malware. The application is dynamic, in the sense that it can be customized in many ways. Once installed it sits as an icon resembling the DSA 411 logo on a PC desktop only requiring access to the Internet.
