ClientShow: Smoother Pitches
Summary
Email often can’t support the big files designers and other creatives work with, and other tools don’t provide real-time interactions at the level necessary for a pitch. The company offers creatives an Adobe AIR (s adbe) application to interact with, while clients can access the information you want them to look at in a Flex-based app in their browser. As long as you’re communicating about visuals — whether that’s a web site design or an architectural drawing or a photograph — ClientShow provides a smooth interaction between you and your clients. You can also add new people (known as connections) to projects and review any new notes, approvals or files your clients have added since the last time you logged in. ClientShow seems particularly useful for small creative shops, such as freelancers or partnerships with only a few team members: if you already have a well-established pitch process, it’s not necessarily worth changing it up, but if you struggle with pulling together a professional presentation for each new client, it’s very useful.
