New to the Sign Industry - IPTLOCK is a Game Changer

Posted on 22nd Jan 2012 @ 5:13 PM

A patent-pending new application will help protect valuable sign design files, proposals, and proofs like never before. “It’s a game changer,” says Teresa M. Young, President of Sign Biz, Inc., a sign industry business developer with nearly 200 non-franchised member shops worldwide.

Would you like to have state-of-the-art online communications as you review sign designs with clients and prospects, and never again fear you will see YOUR design executed by another sign shop?  That’s what IPTLOCK can do.  Better than a PDF Lock, this technology uses uses state of the art Internet Protocol Transfer Lock features, allowing users to send an email link right to the design or proposal file. We checked, and confirmed that clients will encounter no advertising, and no registration requirements. Better still, we appreciate its ease of use and flexible parameters. If you can use a mouse button and click on a virtual remote, you can set your files to be viewed only by one party, on one computer. You can prevent sharing, printing, forwarding, or any other leak of your designs.

Files such as your proofs, proposals, and more (the service supports PPT, PNG, DOC, XLS, PDF, TXT, MP3, and JPG), up to 20 MB, are easily viewed from a link that you send to your chosen recipient.  There are a number of extremely useful features that improve business communications as well.

A cloud-based file protection service, IPTLOCK is being used by many companies, including members of the American Advertising Federation and the Graphic Artists Guild. 

“We are excited about this new product from IPTLOCK,” says Kevin Farrell, Vice President, AD/S, a California-based national manufacturer of custom sign products. “It is worth far more than the subscription rate for my peace of mind. I’ve been burned enough times by would-be clients who took our designs and had them built by someone else. If you can click a button on a virtual remote, you can protect your art, images, designs, and proofs – for a very small price, on any plan – single use, monthly or annual. The individual who sends the file can specify no forwarding, no sharing, no copies, and no printing – or any combination of parameters.”

List price for a one-time use plan (min. 10 in a bundle) would be $10. But even better, a full month lists for $33. If you send only 33 proofs or files in a month, that works out to a dollar each. Peace of mind: Priceless! Not to mention the “perceived value” quotient goes up! Clients are inevitably impressed with your high-tech savvy, and find that your artwork and design research is YOUR property, until paid for. Now, how about an annual plan? You betcha. For only $330 per year, you have unlimited access. That works out to only $27.50 per month.  Okay, the best part for sign industry professionals:  A standing 15% discount is available for all registered sign industry professionals, commencing 2/1/2012, for purchases through this website.
