Click the button above! You MUST check this out! KISSers… We are VERY excited about this new service. It’s a new album proofing system for you to use with your clients: and when they’ve approved the album, you can just click a button to upload to KISS!
Here’s the basics:
1 Design your album in your favorite program.
2 Export your album as high-res JPEGs (just like you would for a final upload to KISS).
3 Upload the JPEGs to AlbumExposure (super easy)
4 AlbumExposure automatically generates a beautiful sideshow and posts it to the web.
5 The client gets a link from you (through albumexposure) and they go to the slideshow, where they can leave comments about the design! http://albumexposure.com/kissbooks/test (password is kiss) for a sample! You can embed the slideshow in your blog or elsewhere in your site (albumexposure makes this so easy samples: http://www.KevinSwan.com/clients/bush)
When your client has finished with their edits, they click a button and all the comments are sent to you.
6 You make changes, upload the pages they changed
7 AlbumExposure automatically adjusts the slideshow to show changes.
8 Clients view new slideshow and can click the “i approve” button
9 You click ‘send to print’ and it will AUTOMATICALLY upload everything to KISS–totally ready to print. All you need is your job number!
I’ve started using it in my own photography business, and I’m very impressed with how easy it is. It’s by far the easiest slide-show generation program I’ve found, but the fact that my clients can leave comments on each spread, they can approve it with a button, and that I can send my designs straight to KISS without having to do any other processing is AWESOME. Album Exposure will even check your files and make sure the resolution and color space is right for KISS.
I know you all will love it. Here’s some special deals for KISSers from AlbumExposure. If you use the link: http://albumexposure.com/?referrer=KISSBOOKS when you sign up, you will qualify for some free goodies.
– With your FREE trial run, you can create up to 3 albums. You can submit them to your clients, use the approval system, send the files to KISS. You get full functionality of the system with those 3 albums. No risk. Give it a shot. You’ll love it.
- If you upgrade to a paid account, you will get a $5.00 discount off your first month (for a monthly subscription) or $15.00 discount off a full year subscription.
- AlbumExposure has 2 plans: $15/month (automated monthly billing) — or $150/year (yearly billing)
Just so you know, normally the kickbacks are paid to the referring company, but we asked AlbumExposure if they could take the $$ that was going to go to KISS and give them to you as a discount instead–they said no problem!
Here’s some things AlbumExposure wanted me to point out:
- realistic album presentation (grab the pages to turn them)
– customize to fit your brand and show your URL (you can hide the ‘albumexposure’ name)
– instantly collect client feedback (so cool!)
– easy to use and manage albums
– simple slideshow or bookview creation
– Auto-post to the web (embed on your blog or elsewhere for promotion)
– go directly to print with KISS Books
– and more….
Bottom line: I would not be asking you to check this out if i didn’t think it was a simple solution that I have implemented in my own business and that works beautifully with KISS.
