The Sandstone Team Building Blog

One of the services that we provide to our clients is that we take photos – and occasionally the odd, small video clip – at their events.  A typical event generates over a hundred such photos and larger events many more than that.  To date, we usually put them onto a CD and send them in the post to our main client contact for each event.  With many hundreds of photos, they are just far too big to email.  We have always tried to do that very quickly and usually manage to get the CD into the post the day after the event itself.  We use first class post so most clients can look at the photos just two days after the event.  Quick, but not as quick as we are going to be from now on…

We have decided to quit sending CDs and send the the photos and any video clips we take electronically.  We still can’t send them by email, of course, as the total size would exceed any mailbox limit.  With the number of events that we run and the size of each collection, uploading them to our web server isn’t a viable option for us either – though we have done that for overseas clients before.  So we have signed up to a service that allows us to upload zipped archives to a secure site that handles very large files and offers easy and fast downloads from a link that we send.  It’ll knock a day off the waiting time at the very least yet still offer full quality, high resolution photos to our clients as a great keepsake from their team building sessions.

Anyone who wants one will have the option of a CD as well, of course.  We are nothing if not responsive to our clients’ preferences!
