Tablets/ Ipads – How They Make Your DJ Business Easier – Alex Kolego Thanks to Alex Kolego for presenting the 1st program in 2014 as the program director. He told members how he uses his Ipad and apps for his Dj business. There are many free apps like Sign Easy, which allows clients to sign contracts and instantly email a copy to them. How about those credit card processing apps like Intuit GoPayment, Square, or Paypal? These would be useful for a quick retainer fee collection after signing a contract. Don’t forget about apps for your DJ setup like Djay LE/ Djay 2 & VirtualDJ’s Remote. You could also use Soundhound, that can identify a song you hear and download it to your device. Alex was able to spark excitement about the use of the technology and upcoming DJ meetings.
