Sales Appointment Training for Photographers

I can't say enough great things about the Sales Appointment Training for Photographers! I had the chance to review the product and I think it's a must for all of us! 
Courtney DeLaura from Get Schooled takes you through each step of her in-person ordering session.

I think your sales will soar and watching (and listening) to her will give you the confidence you need to start doing in-person sales. She also describes in detail how to price yourself to make the profit you need in order to run a successful business. I highly recommend this training tool! Order appointments do not have to be complicated, expensive or overwhelming. Courtney will give you multiple options for simple in-person sales!

For the next 48 hours you may purchase the In-person sales training tools for the intro price of $39!


"Make your bank account squeal with delight. In-person order appointments tripled my sales averages and brought back that lovin' feeling to my business." Courtney DeLaura

hello March...

It's the first day of March...and I intended to blog about the fun things we have planned for the month.


But right before I logged in to the blog, I clicked on CNN and watched the story about the high school shootings in Ohio...and listening to the mom of Daniel Parmertor talk about her 16 year old son who was killed in the shootings. I cried...still have tears running down my face...and I am filled with sadness for these families.  Anderson Cooper talked with the mom on the phone as she described her son and told about how excited he was to get his first paycheck from the job he had just started two weeks earlier. She said all he could talk about was what he would spend the paycheck on...maybe an iphone or new skis...and then she said that they will bury the check with her son...it's his check and she wants him to have it...tears again here...and all I want to do right now is hug my two boys...when I send them off to school each day, I assume they will always come back...God Bless the three boys that did not come home that day. And I pray for all those injured...and ALL of the families involved.

love the...

Oh my...the clothes are so cute right now at Target. Yesterday we shopped...and shopped. Having a 5 year old girl makes passing up the cute clothes there nearly impossible. And the boys clothes are just as irresistible...do you see the green shirt above? Don't tell my daughter but I bought it for her...in the boys department. It looks adorable with the pink converse shoes and shorts (bought both of those)...and she wore it last night with the white skirt (yep, bought it too...with a pink tank under the green gingham shirt). 
Have you had your Target fix lately?

The winner of the Panache Collective packaging is...

The winner of the "Savvy Set" packaging from the Panache Collective is...Sugar Bug Photography! Congrats and enjoy!!

go big...or go home

We do our best to convince our clients to go big..really big...but a 16x20 sounds too big to them. I think the best way to convince them big is better is to simply show them. 


Make a statement with your images! Fill your walls with the best art around..and go BIG!


So how big is it? 30x40


Where can you get it? If you are a photographer, check out Burrell Imaging. If you aren't a photographer, then find an experienced photographer in your town.


Who is the cutie above? My little 5 year old love...she's a keeper. And if you heard her sing, you would be amazed...yes, I'm bragging...isn't that what Moms are supposed to do?


Where will I hang it? Still haven't decided...I ordered it for my bathroom. I wanted something artsy to fill a blank wall...but it's so amazing in person I don't know if I can keep it hidden away in there. I'll take a picture when I do decide to hang it. 

The Panache Collective Giveaway from Paperie Boutique

One lucky Savvy reader will have a chance to win this Panache Collective boutique packaging set before the product line even goes into the pre-sale phase! Up for grabs are five 5½ x 7½ and five 8½ x 10½ “the savvy set” decorated photo boxes (with matching tissue). As shown in the photos, these box designs feature the Panache Collection's revolutionary new quick-release open and close system. The design stays snug around the box, but can easily be removed and set aside to pack the order – and then reattached to safely hand-deliver or ship – without damaging your work of art.
