Welcome to LightJar, a cloud storage service offered for partner and affiliate resale

Thank you for your business over the years. We have a new service product to offer for resale. It's called LightJar, www.lightjar.com.

In 5 paragraphs below I review: 

  • what the product does,
  • our target customers and sweet spots in the marketplace,
  • how LightJar might help you the retailer or reseller,
  • what the product does not do, and
  • next steps.




A four (4) minute video overview of LightJar is covered in this YouTube video.


What the product does
- LightJar is an online private media storage service that subscribers can use to save, organize, and share their videos, photos, and audio recordings.   LightJar is 100% owned by Cintrex AV. We use the AWS Cloud to store the subscribers’ content and the contents’ metadata & descriptions. There is no application software to install on subscribers' computers, smartphones, or cameras. Instead, LightJar is a web application that relies upon a device’s modern browser (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Internet Explorer) in order to work with the LightJar servers that are resident in the AWS Cloud. You can record and upload a video from your iPhone or tablet when away from home, and then view it on your home’s laptop later in the day. Or, you can upload videos or photos from your home library and then play or show them to friends from your Android smartphone while out on the town. LightJar was made to handle large, long video files.

(Feedback has been good from alpha and beta customers, and we continue to get new customers signed up via the LightJar website.  Within our company we have been using LightJar for the past 5 months to return completed orders to both resellers and the retail public.  A few resellers have us return completed ISO disc images via LightJar, and then they burn the DVDs locally, allowing for faster order turnaround when needed.)


Target customers and Sweetspots
- We came up with LightJar because our customers want to save their special media recordings.  It's a continuation of our media conversion business, but it is useful to anyone that wants to save, organize, and share their videos;  whether the video was shot on film 40 years ago, or is video taken yesterday with their cellphone. LightJar works well with photos and audio recordings as well, but the market is not as crowded for video storage services. Our sweet spots are on the low end and high end of the markets. We offer 8 different annual plans that cost less than $100/year.  For example, the 100GB Active Plan, subscription fee of $65 per year, has capacity to securely store up 50,000 photos or 60 hours of video. For customers with huge appetites for storage - greater than 10TB, we offer archiving plans that are not readily found with competitors. LightJar has good organizational and search tools that will help serious archivists better manage their video and image assets, allowing them to edit descriptions and group items into multiple different collections.


How LightJar might help you - 4 ways 
  1. More competitiive - Bundle Lightjar in with your media conversion services to offer a competitive, complete solution to your customers.  As an example, sell LightJar to a customer as part of your media conversion project, upload your  finished files into LightJar, and let the customer immediately begin to share your work with friends and family.

  2. Stay in front of your customer - Extend the onetime sale of any of your products into an ongoing relationship.  LightJar can be the hook that brings customers back.  We have links in the LightJar app that can spell out your company name and take the subscribers back to your website when they need to purchase additional services from your store.  As an example, a customer comes into your store to buy a photo frame; and while there, sees a LightJar poster and decides to subscribe to the service.  Each time the customer logs into LightJar, they see your company store name underneath the dropdown menu below their own user name. 

  3. Ongoing Annuity - whether you actively resell LightJar to your customer, or make a passive sale when the customer subscribes to LightJar after clicking on a banner on your website, we will commission your company for as long as the customer continues to use LightJar.  Also, we provide you a Promo Code to give to your customers for free extra storage.

  4. A service vehicle for your company - collaborate better with customers, backup your important work, deliver finished projects in a shorter timeframe, and provide your customers another reason to use your services.

What LightJar does not do

  1. It is not an automatic backup service - subscribers need to manually place items into LightJar, from their laptop, smartphone, or camera. 
  2. It is not a mobile app - it works well enough with iPhones and Android phones, but we have yet to come out with a mobile app.
  3. LightJar should NOT be the only place that your customers save their special memories.   It is best that users of LightJar have their recorded memories stored in several places, such as in 2 different formats (DVD and Hard-drive) at home, and then in 1 offsite place such as LightJar.
Next steps - visit www.lightjar.com and test the service. See if it would be good for your company's use, or if you would feel comfortable reselling the product as part of your services.  The 10GB monthly plan is free for the first 30 days.   

Let me know if you are interested.   LightJar is available for resale in our online reseller store (https://shop.cintrexav.com/login.aspx ), and you can also sign up for our affiliate program (https://lightjar.leaddyno.com/) for receiving commissions off passive sales (a visitor to your website click on the LightJar banner, subscribes to the service and you receive commission on the sale).


Other Items to note:

  1. In an active sales scenario with you bundling and reselling LightJar, the wholesale price is 85% of suggested Retail.  You are welcome to sell the service at whatever price you choose.  As a resale product, it is available only in annual subscription plans.   When we set the service up for your customer, we will make sure that you are commissioned 15% of the renewal rate 1 year hence, and so on, for every year the customer keeps the service subscription active.
  2. In the Passive sales scenario, with a customer clicking the LightJar banner on your website, you are commissioned 15% of the subscription fee for both monthly and active plans, for as long as the customer continues to use the service.
  3. We provide you a promo code that you can pass onto to the customer for free 10% extra storage on their account.
  4. If you want LightJar for your own use, we decrease the rate by 30%.  Use this opportunity to understand the service, and use it for helping your business.
  5. If you put a LightJar banner on your website, we will increase our discount to you on our media conversion services by another 5% to a maximum of 45% off suggested retail rates.  (This promo is temporary.)

Thank you for your consideration.
