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….
