When you create a business card, you hope that once you let it somewhere it will reach the hands of your potential clients. You work on the design, you carefully choose the colors and even the type of paper you print it on hoping that it will stand out from your competitors cards. So why not try this with the way you present your photos as well?
In the era of speed, digital information is under a constant change. From briefcase size floppy disks that most of us only read about to the hundreds of GB`s that modern flash drives come with we have only traveled 20 years in time. The world is changing and so do peoples habits and expectations. Our parents probably have their most important moments in life recorded on a bulky cassette because that is the way they were used.
Just because your clients are used with DVD`s, why not try and offer them something more? Say goodbye to dusty dvds packed in colored covers that are able to hold limited amounts of information and welcome the alternative of flash drives in your life.
