“GSN Homeland Security Insider” Newsletter:

The GSN daily e-newsletter reaches a growing circulation of more than 45,000 recipients every business day. This audience is partially composed of subscribers to the monthly print edition, but the remainder of the circulation is composed of individuals around the world who opted-in through the GSN Web site. In addition to daily news of global homeland security topics, the GSN Daily provides focused coverage of Video Surveillance on Mondays, CBRNE/Detection on Tuesdays, Access Control/Identification on Wednesdays, Emergency Preparedness/Disaster Control on Thursdays and IT Security on Fridays.

The e-newsletter offers towers, banners, medium rectangle advertisements, plus a special lead-generating advertising configuration called the “Sponsored Product Advertisement.” In this configuration, the advertiser need only furnish a headline, a logo, 70 words of copy and a URL.

GSN’s Lead-Generating E-mail Broadcasts:

These lead-generating vehicles are sent out on a daily basis to the GSN proprietary e-mail list of more than 45,000, which is expected to grow to 70,000 in 2010. No more than one broadcast per day is permitted for any of these products. A huge extra benefit for advertisers using these lead-gen products is that, after the initial broadcast, the White Papers, products or Webinars are promoted on the GSN Web site for an entire year.

GSN White Paper of the Day – This is a superb lead-gen vehicle, averaging 150 qualified leads per broadcast. Many advertisers order 12 to 20 White Paper broadcasts per year, and consider this to be their best source of convertible sales prospects. Sponsors often discover that when the cost of the broadcast is analyzed, their ROI is $10 or less per qualified lead. The lead-generating capabilities of the White Papers and other e-mail broadcasts are expected to rise dramatically in 2010 because they will be listed on many pages of the new GSN Web site after the initial broadcast.

GSN New Product of the Day – Similarly, this is a superb prospecting venue -- excellent for introducing new products in hot areas of the market. Once again, many of our advertisers have made this a staple of their advertising mix because of the quality and the quantity of registrants.

GSN Webinars – One of the most productive positioning and contemporary lead-generating tools, Webinars also educate customers and prospects on new technologies and techniques, while demonstrating thought leadership. GSN’s Editor-in-Chief Jacob Goodwin is a seasoned moderator who is highly knowledgeable in products and technologies used in homeland security, and our staff is experienced in producing successful Webinars for multiple clients. Webinars will also be promoted on the GSN Web site for a year after they take place.

GSN Corporate Video Presentations – These vehicles are similar to the GSN White Paper of the Day; the broadcast promotes a video interview that the respondent can download and view. The cost includes an executive video interview which is filmed and edited by a professional GSN video crew. The sponsor is presented with a master copy to forward or post on his or her company and social media sites, or reference in e-newsletters and reports. Further, the video interview appears for an entire year on the GSN Web site, where it continually garners leads because interested parties must register in order to view the video.

GSN Homeland Security Awards Program

The Annual GSN Homeland Security Awards Program was designed to salute the dedicated government officials at federal, state and local levels, who have come up with outstanding homeland security projects and initiatives, as well as the innovative vendors of IT and Physical Security products and solutions, who produce the amazing technologies which protect our nation around the clock.

GSN presented 38 first place awards on October 27, 2009 to a sold-out ballroom of attendees at the Roosevelt Hotel in New York City. That ceremony, complete with bagpipes, a pledge of allegiance and an honor guard, was both moving and inspiring. It concluded with the presentation of the 3^rd Annual Fred V. Morrone Memorial Nine-Eleven Award, honoring the highest-ranking official in the Port of New York and New Jersey Police who, along with 36 of his brave colleagues, died in the 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center in New York.

The Fred V. Morrone Award was presented to Ms. Fran Townsend, who had been the homeland security advisor in President George W. Bush’s White House, and who, prior to that, was Assistant Commandant for Intelligence for the U.S. Coast Guard and an advisor to the Attorney General on homeland security.

The 2010 schedule of events from entry categories to the awards competition will be posted on this Web site in March, 2010.
