Bulletin to ThinkTech Hosts - Week of March 13, 2022

Dear ThinkTech Hosts:

Host Bulletin, Week of March 13, 2022

Distinguished Guest Election/Survey

Voting is open! Thanks to everyone who made nominations. Cast your ballot for our ThinkTech Distinguished Guest at https://bit.ly/march2022-poll. Vote only once, but feel free to share the link.  Note that we added a Current Events Survey and we hope you will give us your views on the questions there. Voting closes on March 17 and we will announce the results in our Email Advisories on March 20.

Press Kit

We have created a Press Kit about ThinkTech on thinktechhawaii.com.  You can use the Kit to educate potential guests about ThinkTech and promote our work to your viewers, associates and friends. You can get the Kit from https://thinktechhawaii.com/press-kit. 

Daylight Savings Time

Reminder: Daylight Savings Time begins today! Hawaii does not change but most of the mainland will move one hour forward.  That means that the time in East Coast cities, for example, will be 6 hours later than Hawaii rather than the current 5-hour difference.  Keep this in mind when scheduling shows, and make sure your guests keep it in mind, too.

Equipment

We would like to help you achieve the highest possible production values.  We have found that external cameras and mics usually provide better video and sound than the cameras and mics that are built in to your computers.  Here are some recommendations for external cameras and mics, as well as for some small lights and tripods that may help you achieve better production values:
• Camera: https://amzn.to/3J8BerZ
• Mic with earphones: https://amzn.to/3KChNbb
• Small Light: https://amzn.to/3vWYJ3h
• Small Tripod: https://amzn.to/3I6rtcc

Promotion Tip

Remind your guests that they can help you promote the shows you do with them.  Ask them to share the links we send them after the show, using their email, text messages and social media. The best result is when you promote them, and they promote you.
