Targets for 2011

The start of 2011 is an opportunity to review our business and the direction we are going in. We've had a busy Christmas and New Year and are excited about new projects, directions and opportunities. We are always interested to discuss ideas with others, including joint projects and collaborations.

Given that we decided, mid-year, to rebrand to 'Viva Live Music' from NSN PRODUCTIONS LIMITED, we didn't focus on all of our targets for last year. However, we believe the significance of the rebranding, including the website will have a major impact on the business in the next few years. So, although we're writing these targets down, they are open to review during the year. I will also review the targets at the beginning of July.

1. Create more videos of the musicians.
2. Create showreels of the musicians and other services we offer.
3. Maintain the blog; at least 2 times a week. The blog is going to be incorporated into the viva live music website, so that it becomes more visible on the web. Individual pages - news - will be updated constantly too!
4. We are continuing with the podcasts via audio boo; possibly we'll add some talk radio!
5. We are going to partner with other businesses and present joint collaborations.
6. We are not, however, going to compromise the quality of our service and musicians.
7. Discovery of more musicians; we have already signed up a couple of new musicians: great talent, and are looking forward to introducing them to our clients.
8. Expansion of the venues and organisations we are partnered with; geographically we are reaching a wider location!
9. Expansion of our services; we are now offering music event management for clients; this includes liaising with the catering staff for timings; sound levels etc.
10. Other new services: technical side - sound management, technical management, stage management for events.
11. Venue search service.
12. Management service for musicians? Advice, career development, advice for foreign artistes; setting up showcases.
13. Involving Gary and his talents more.
14. Selling of Artistes' CDs
15. More bespoke services.
