How DJ Freddy B Heavyhitter Is Using Filemail

The Challenges

DJ Freddy B has certain limitations with how he was doing things:

1.   His clients – other DJ’s, would come round to his house or office to obtain music files, this takes up valuable time as he has to cater to them in person

2.   Due to only sharing files physically his business is hampered in terms of growth and scalability

The Goals

1.   Increase business revenue by:

   •   Increasing the size of his music library to provide DJ’s with more variety

   •   Provide DJ’s with high quality MP3 or Wav files

   •   Distribute music to more DJ’s in a faster manner

   •   Control which DJ’s can access and download what music

2.   Free up his time to focus on other aspects by stopping DJ’s coming round to his house or office to obtain music in person

3.   Presenting the music library and the business in a professional manner

Solution Evaluation Factors

The solution evaluation factors are in part based on a solution that enables him to meet his goals:

1.   Large storage space due to the goal of increasing his music library, providing DJ’s with different edits of the same track, and higher quality audio files

2.   A digital distribution channel that lets him scale his ability to send more music, to more DJ’s

3.   Fast transfer of music files as the DJ’s he supplies can’t wait too long for the music to be usable

4.   A reliable solution that sent usable files rather than corrupt files, or transfers that didn’t go through

5.   As he provides a service, he needs to know that DJ’s have obtained the files they paid for

6.   The ability to control what files a DJ had access to, and for how long

5.   To promote a professional appearance he has a custom subdomain using his own name

6.   He has customized the subdomain and emails so they are consistent with his brand by using his own colors and logo.
