Wednesday, December 15th, 2010Incentive Travel Photography
Wednesday, November 17th, 2010Make sure when you are planning your next incentive trip you add photographic documentation to your budget. What a great way to create an incentive for your sales staff to exceed their goals for next years trip, by showing them this past trip. Incentive Trips have received some negative press these days. We can change that by showing the volunteer hours these trips include through Press Releases and Media outlets through photography. So, the next time, you are planning an incentive trip remember to book your professional photographer to document the event.

Have you Networked lately?
Tuesday, August 31st, 2010In the new economy networking is so important for survival. Some tips for networking that I have learned along the way.
1. Get to know your potential client. Don’t just start selling your product on them.
2. Follow-up with your potential client the next day.
3. Be genuine. Don’t be a used car sales person.
4. Pair yourself with quality partners.
Networking has made this professional photography company who it is today. Remember to get out there and work the room correctly and things will happen for you too.

Recently in Orlando
Wednesday, July 14th, 2010
Recently, Orlando had (7) photographers with lights and backgrounds they (14) assistants for one job at the Hilton Bonnet Creek Resort. Not only did we provided the staff but we also provided prints onsite. Make sure that when you have a large event that your Professional Photography Company can handle everything that is stated in the proposal. Questions to ask..
1. How many photographers do you have on staff?
2. What is the largest job you have completed in one day?
3. What type of liability i
nsurance and what is your coverage?
4. Ask for samples of the their work.
5. What is the policy if we change items on-site?
6. Make sure you get everything in writing.

Introducting our ISES-LV President
Tuesday, June 29th, 2010Last week Angela Roberts CMP, CSEP, our very own National Sales Manager, was sworn in as the ISES Las Vegas Chapter President. She officially takes office July 1st. Congratulations Angela, from your team at Christie’s Photographic Studios, we are very proud of you and your accomplishments. Christie’s believes in networking within associations and provides complimentary photography for most of the association meetings within Orlando, Miami, Tampa and Las Vegas.
So, you have a Corporate Event?
Monday, June 21st, 2010Corporate Photography Services have been offered by Christies Photographic Studios for over 28 years. In today’s economy ROI is so important to corporations. Photographs can add ROI to any event documentation. The saying is “A photo is worth a thousand words”. So, picture this, you are about to present to a large client and you have nothing to show them. Will they choose your company? (Maybe / Maybe Not) If you had hired a Professional Photography Company the photos could have shown last year’s event or your latest product on display, assisting you in getting this large client. So the next time you are thinking about your budget make sure you include a Professional Photographer to document your event.
Travelling Photographer with Conferences
Monday, June 14th, 2010Retaining a photographic company who can travel with you can yield many benefits.
- First, you know the quality you will receive which is very important as you have spent a lot of time and money to create a powerful learning and/or sales environment. These photos can and will be used for years to market future programs by showing the success’s of the past.
- Secondly, by travelling with your company the photographers learn what you and your staff desire within the photographic world. This makes both you and your company familiar and comfortable with the end product. Also by having the same photographers, you as the meeting planner will have one less item to worry about.
A traveling photographer shouldn’t be as much about cost as it is about capturing the essence of your event thereby creating innumerable marketing opportunities all the while keeping you and your team satisfied.
