February 20, 2009 - Rick Nava, owner and President of Media Systems, Inc., reports small business owners like, himself can learn to survive and thrive in tough economic times through diversifying and discovering new ways to leverage company services and talent. “There is no simple recipe”, says Rick. “At Media Systems Inc. (MSI), we began looking at our core skill sets and took on a more global outlook.” Up until recently MSI has concentrated services on the Hawaiian Island of Maui, producing high quality video and photographic services sold to corporations and individuals wanting to record the experience of their travel to this world renowned resort location. “Many companies choose Maui as a destination for incentive trips and corporate retreats”, says Rick, “individuals may choose Maui as the romantic setting for a wedding, family gathering, school reunion or other special event. Having a professionally produced video and/or photographic record of their trip will bring back memories for a life time.”
In the current economic climate incentive travel has declined and individuals are becoming more careful with their discretionary cash. “We provide photographic services at the Old Lahaina Luau and the Feast at Lele Luau here on Maui, these Luaus along with weddings and family events continue to bring in travelers wanting to get a first hand taste of the beauty and life that is part of Hawaii.” “Some companies planning travel to Maui for incentive trips or retreats are delaying or canceling their plans for this year”, reports Rick. Rick goes on to say: “When we recognized things were not going to be business as usual we got together and identified areas where our talent could be used to serve new and emerging markets. In this economy the companies that will survive realize they must fight harder and spend more resources to hold on to or consolidate their market.” For any business serving consumers advertising is critical and MSI has begun to provide advertising services and expertise to help other local businesses to sell their services. Rick reports, “We recently finished a TV commercial for a local business and are approaching Time Warner Cable about providing production services to their customers for television advertising.” Moving real estate in this current market is tough and we are now providing photographic and virtual tour production services for realtors to advertise their properties. We cannot stand still we are now, more than ever, providing expertise to help other businesses locally to let the world know about their services on Maui. While we have partnered for years with the tourism industry we are now becoming even more involved with hotels and others to promote travel to our island paradise.”
Media Systems, Inc., located in Lahaina, HI provides cost effective video production, photographic and advertising services to businesses and individuals. The company’s website is www.mediasystemsmaui.com. Rick may be contacted at 808-667-2271 for further information.
