The client wants a look at the commission and there you are, how do you let the money man get a peek and still not have to travels across the whole country to show your canvas?
Now of course, being a regular reader of this Blog you have been making digital images of your work and you have those files on your computer just waiting to be used.
There has to be a way, but if you try to send it by email your ISP will block it because of the size and the client will be hysterical when it takes a day and a half to download, so that you are, back to trucking the half dry canvas across the country.
But no more, now there’s a way to do both the show and not the tell, or in this case travel.
Follow this link to PC World Downloads and take a look at ForgetBox.
ForgetBox will take your largest files and store them on its server where they can be downloaded by your client without so much as a ripple in their inbox.
How I wish I had had this ten years ago. I was mailing plays all around the country, waiting four to five weeks to see if they got there and then waiting again while the client read through them to see if they were what he wanted. Now I upload the file send of an email to the client and know the answer in an hour or so. That is life in the fast lane.
And it will work the same way for you. The problem with supplying an image for the client has always been the size. If the image is large enough to show the quality of your work it is too big for conventional email. But this way, you can keep the quality high and still not spend half your free time waiting for the mail server to finish the upload.
No, ForgetBox isn’t lightning fast, but then neither is email and no stuffed In Box at the end of the transition.
You should give this a try, it is free and if you don’t like it you can delete it and be none the worse for wear.
