Amanda uses Moxtra as a tool to organize her merchandise and share it with potential customers. “As a small start-up business I need all the help I can get when it comes to organization and to-do lists. My creative mind doesn’t think like that on it’s own! Moxtra has been able to help me share, maintain and keep up-to-date on all of my existing products and new inventory,” said Amanda.

Amanda uploads all of her inventory easily into Moxtra binders and adds description and pricing information using the Moxtra Note capability.  Moxtra Notes allow her to add voice and visual annotations. She then shares the Moxtra binder, with a simple push of a button for a quick and easy way to showcase her available products for sale, along with their corresponding prices and designer notes.

When an item has sold, she easily moves that item into separate binder marked “Sold” and inserts the buyer’s information. “There is no need for paper and pen, which I admittedly have lost in the past. I have digitized everything so I can simply look back in my Moxtra binder to see which items sold and for how much, along with when the buyer will be coming to pick up their items or if they need shipping,” she said.

Amanda uses Moxtra daily to help manage her life and small business activities. Are you a small business owner, artist or need help with organization? How does Moxtra help you?

• Students can turn in a homework assignment remotely, without being present in the classroom, using a Moxtra Binder.

• Students can record presentations with a Moxtra Note,  that can be made directly in the binder.

What other ways could Moxtra help you collaborate for class?

Moxtra has given Amanda an easier way to arrange and coordinate each client’s photo shoot including initial information collection, concept creation, photo review, and even purchase transactions.  Amanda’s process has been simplified using Moxtra, as she now has access to so many capabilities all on one platform.   

“Before I started using Moxtra, I yearned to collaborate more directly with my clients regarding their photo shoot theme(s), concept and expectations, but didn’t have an easy way to communicate all these things. Moxtra has changed that by giving each client his or her own visual binder to communicate with me through,” she said. This easy-to-use functionality now allows Amanda to see clients’ wardrobe suggestions, prop specifications and preferred color schemes prior to ever seeing them in person.

“Moxtra is going far beyond the use of an average Pinterest board by adding a closer personal connection and surpassing any visual limitations set by other platforms. In addition, I’m now able to have a home base to include documents for clients to review and sign confidentially without the privacy or security concern.”

In the photography industry, immediacy is often a desired request. “Clients are excited to see their photos, and with Moxtra’s sharable binders, my client interaction can be almost immediate. I can send the binders directly to my clients after their shoot for initial review and automatic feedback. It’s very efficient,” she complimented.

Amanda uses Moxtra’s secure binder with her clients, , utilizing the comments she receives oneach photo within the binder to place her customer’s orders.  . When a client decides to place an order by commenting on the images he/she is purchasing, Amanda is notified.  She then is able to manage the order without the hassle of emailing or using other programs to communicate.
