Have you Networked lately?

Tuesday, August 31st, 2010

In 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.

Professional Event Photography

Monday, July 12th, 2010

” I have my own camera” So you ask yourself  ”Why do I need to hire a Professional Event Photographer?”  Here are some urban myths regarding Professional Event Photography.

1.  Professional Event Photography is too expense….  Not true…  Your ROI can be based on the documentation photos that your photographer took.  You need to make sure that the photographer is professional trained because Seeing is Believing and a photo is worth 1000 words.. 

2. I have my own camera so I can point and shot…..  true however as creative as you are we have staff photographer that have been in the industry for over 27 years.  They are trained to capture angles, lights, and environmental atomsphere in a way that will bring your audience back to that moment..  Making those that were not present wish they were present and making your next event even better.. 

3.  Not in the budget this year.  Most events have a Marketing Budget that your photographic needs can be placed in because you are going to use the photos for Marketing your upcoming future events. 

So hiring a Professional Event Photographer actually saves you time and potentially adds to your ROI..

So, you have a Corporate Event?

Monday, June 21st, 2010

    Corporate 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, 2010

Retaining 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.

Golf anyone?

Friday, June 11th, 2010

    There you are standing at the tee box with your best clients as part of your four-some.  Before anyone drives their first ball everyone poses for a photograph to remember this day.   Golf Photography is an important tool for not only the host of the event, but, also the players to remember the day. 

  • After the tournament the golfers will leave with a priceless way of branding your corporation or cause.  Simply by placing the logo onto the print, everyone that views this photo will also see your BRAND.  What a great way to show ROI.    
  • For you the client, the photo takes on a different meaning.  Every time your client looks at the photo they will remember you and your company.  What a great way to place an image within their head after the event. 

So next time you are planning or attending a Golf Tournament ask if there will be Professional Photography….
