Should you or your organization be in Second Life?

The Gartner Group predicts that more than 80% of all online users will be immersed in a 3D web environment by late 2011.  General Motors, Coca Cola, Dell, Cisco, SAP, Microsoft and many other corporations are already there. Credit courses are being offered by more than 25 institutions of higher learning. There are many nonprofits in Second Life that are extending their  real world reach through a collaborative region called Plush Nonprofit Commons.

With an average user age of 36 and a membership growing by 20,000 a day SL is reaching the marketing sweet spot.  Memberships have grown from 1.2 million in October 2006, to more than 6 million today. Thirty percent of new members are from countries other than the U.S., so your presence can reach an international audience.

Everything in SL is user-created from simple tools provided by Linden Labs, the developers and owners of the enabling software and hardware.  There is in-world commerce that exceeds $1.5 million per day, with SL banks, realtors, and contract lawyers! You may choose between mature or PG worlds, or purchase your own region and manage it securely for your target audience..

Second Life is the first commercially successful 3D environment that is NOT just a game. 

GA's Goal:
Grozik Associates wants your virtual experience to match your real world marketing, training and PR needs. Our team of SL experts handles all of the details from the needs analysis through sim design and buildout to insuring an exceptional experience for your future visitors. 

Second Life tools enable two-way data exchange so in-world users may purchase real world goods and services.  SL business meetings may use streaming media, PowerPoint presentations, podcasts, RSS feeds, spatial sound, VOIP, and interactive objects to enahce thinking productivity.

We invite you to contact us for a guided tour of this incredible, imagnative environment!  The following Second Life URL's (SLURL's) will take you to our offices and builds in progress. You will need to download and install a free SL client, create an avatar and learn a bit about navigating in SL to maximize your experience.  Or contact us, and we will loan you one of our seasoned avatars to use and take you (and your new avatar) on a personal guided tour.
