Drop the Costs of Shipping, FTP and Delays with YouSendIt Dropbox and SiteDrop

Few things are more frustrating and expensive for your customers and business partners than encountering roadblocks to (what should be) the simplest of tasks: sending/receiving information. This could be complex specifications, revised text and graphics, edited audio or video files, or other information that is a natural part of any professional business.

Often clients must package up a disk or paper documents and ship them by courier, a costly proposition that can cause days of delays. File transfer protocol (FTP) sites are cumbersome, difficult to learn and generally exasperating for non-technical customers.

Those already using YouSendIt have found a way to circumvent these problems. However, even seasoned YouSendIt veterans may be unaware of two services, Dropbox and SiteDrop, which make it even easier to send/receive information, especially for your business partners and clients.

Security "Inside the Box"

Subscribers to any of YouSendIt's paid subscription options can use YouSendIt's digital Dropbox service the same way a bank offers its customers a secure drop box for their valuable investments. But your customers never have to leave their desktops to deliver their crucial data to your own protected, YouSendIt-powered Dropbox. Customers simply upload their digital files instantaneously to your Dropbox anytime of day or night from anywhere. You are immediately notified by e-mail that the customer's files are in the Dropbox and ready for you to download. With a YouSendIt subscription, you can receive multiple files of up to 2 GB each from your Dropbox page.

It's all done through the Web at the speed of digital communications. You can even include a link in the signature line of your e-mails that connects directly to your Dropbox.

Name-Dropping for a Brand New Impact

A YouSendIt Business Plus Account provides even more functionality, allowing you to incorporate your brand—a logo, a tagline and/or other branding elements—into the Dropbox page, as well as into all e-mail and download pages. Customers immediately see your brand image when visiting your Dropbox, gaining additional assurance that they are communicating directly with you and only you.

Keeping Your Customer "in Site"

Similar to Dropbox, YouSendIt SiteDrop is available to Business Plus and Corporate Suite users, for an additional monthly cost. Unlike Dropbox, however, you can integrate SiteDrop directly into your company's Web site. This not only provides added convenience for customers and partners, but also attracts additional traffic to your site, encouraging customers to visit other portions of the site once files are exchanged.

Nothing is more costly than lost business, and SiteDrop reinforces your relationship with your customer to enhance retention and encourage customers to make full use of all your available services. Like Dropbox, SiteDrop allows you to receive multiple files of up to 2 GB each.

A Powerful Way to Drop Costs

SiteDrop and Dropbox are designed to make information exchange quicker and easier, while slashing costs for you, your customers and your friends. These services help eliminate budgets for courier services, do away with the need for FTP maintenance and the costs associated with aggravated clients, helping preserve your relationships with your customers and keep revenue flowing. It's another out-of-the-box innovation from YouSendIt.
