Skype for Graphic Business and Marketing

There are numerous online chat out there that you can use for business transactions for free. Our shop started with Yahoo Chat; mostly just by text exchanges. Thanks to the Internet (and SMS), marketing is easier today than back then when landline is just the means of communication. Facebook and other emerging social sites contributes greatly in advertising your business and making it personal to your clients.

Our business, Roshan Digital Prints and Supplies, aside from selling heat press machines, photopapers and other printed media, also provides services like graphic design, t-shirt prints, mug prints, invitations, etc. Since  almost all our services involve Graphics and Images, text chat or online call is not enough. We want a chat software that also shows the ongoing graphic design so that our client even via online chat can also see the graphics, make suggestions or just double-checked the images before we start printing. It's an online collaboration which ensures that we provide the graphic design with the approval of the client without them visiting our shop and at the convenience of their home or office.

So far, the Share Screen feature of Skype does the job. We are able to show the design to our clients online before we start printing the images. Clients can also readily show us their own design so we can give feedback on what's the best way to do for t-shirt print, mug print, invitations, etc.

And it's easy to use. Download Skype and install it in your PC. Create your account with your username and password.  To try the Share-Screen , you must have already added a Skype contact. To try, add us up using the username, Roshan Baisa. Once added, right-click on the contact's username and choose Share Screen. You have two options, either share a selected screen or full screen. Note that enabling Share Screen automatically calls the contact. Once answered, your contact can start seeing your screen. If you are currently viewing your design, you Skype contact can also see it thru Share Screen feature.
