Our Mission:
"Free Spirit Promotions (publisher of Big Blend Magazine) is
a company based on the belief that education is the most
formidable weapon that can be waged against fear, ignorance
and prejudice. It is our belief that education starts at
home and branches outward. Education leads to travel, and
travel leads to understanding, tolerance, and appreciation
of cultures and customs different to our own, and ultimately
to world peace. Our company is further based on the
principle that networking, communication, and helping others
to promote and market themselves leads to financial
stability; thus paving the way to better education, travel,
and the spirit of giving back to the community."
Free
& Personalized Digital Wedding Albums
Brides and Grooms can add voice narration to their digital
wedding albums with Yodio, which offers the ability to record
guests’ comments at the wedding and after, and attach these
comments to digital photos to create a Personalized Digital
Wedding Photo Album.
Yodio gives
couples the unique ability to affordably record guests’ comments
at the wedding and after. The recorded memories can be attached
to digital photos to create a memory-packed, voice-narrated
wedding album that can be easily shared via the internet,
e-mails, and embedded players (similar to YouTube). From bridal
showers to the reception, cell phones can be used to record
voice comments into their personal wedding account at Yodio.
Digital photos can be uploaded, and a narrated slide show can be
created with the many voice recordings and digital photos.
Collect digital photos from the wedding, add guests’ commentary,
and the bride can easily assemble a memory-rich digital album at
literally no cost. Users can create cover photos and title
slides with Power Point or similar soft wares to produce a
highly personalized, near-professional, yet very affordable
wedding album that captures the spirit and memories. Using any
image, photo or piece of art, users can record via a cell phone
(or upload an MP3 recording) and attach a full size (up to a 10
MB) digital photo.
According to
the number one online wedding site, the knot.com recommends one
of its top ways to save is passing on the pricey details.
Cutting costs while creating memory-rich photo shows are
attractive. Yodio enables easy recording of guests’ comments
while cutting costs through the user-generation of the comments,
photos, and electronic album. It’s very personalized and
quickly done to share the wedding memories very shortly after
the wedding. It is an effective way for couples looking to pinch
pennies yet share their wedding experience with their friends
and family shortly after the wedding, particularly with those
who were unable to attend.
As an easy way
to cut wedding expenses while heightening the personalization of
the memories, Yodio offers a custom toll-free number for wedding
guests to use. The website includes templates for brides to use
to invite guest participation at the wedding or reception. As a
free service, Yodio aids wedding savings while maximizing guest
participation and memory collection.
One Yodio
using bride explains her decision to implement Yodio for her
wedding. “I wanted the formal photographs from the professional
photographer, but I also wanted an easy way to capture my
friends and family being themselves while celebrating my
wedding. Then it struck me, everyone and everything is online
now. I can still have the tradition of personalized photos
without the expense of disposable cameras on the reception’s
tables or adding another photography expense. Using Yodio, the
guests can use their cell phones to call-in memories and friends
can submit their digital photos, then all I needed to do is
drag-and-drop these recordings and photos to create a fun and
personalized narrated photo show. And it’s already set up to be
embedded on FaceBook or other websites, as well as being easily
shared with e-mail links. It’s expensive to print out all those
photos, and sending it online is the modern effective, efficient
method of communication. People were able to see any
personalized image of our choice and we were able to record our
own narration as well as the individualized messages by friends
and family. Since Yodio is free, it dramatically cut costs,
saved immense amount of time and also allowed us to add a
personal touch I could not get from sharing a link on a photo
storage site or attaching photos to e-mail messages.”
