Welcome back to vendor week! Hope you are having a great Monday morning!

Today we are welcoming The Shoppe Designs and Actions!

The Shoppe Designs and Actions
Become a fan on Facebook here.

How many years have you been in business - 
5 years

How did you decide to start this business?
With experience in both professional design and photography and when deciding to move across the country I needed to start something that I could do anywhere! The Shoppe was a perfect fit for my entrepreneurial obsessions and love of design, innovation, and the photography business!

Where are you located?
Our studio is in Franklin, TN just outside Nashville.

Favorite product you offer?
Actions! Our Memento Set is probably my favorite, but Nostalgia was the first and still our most popular! I do also love our marketing sets and logos. It makes it so easy for new photographers to get a professional look and brand for a great price. A cohesive brand is so important to stand out!

Do you run your business alone...or an entire team?
There are three of us here in our studio office. Emily is our talented full time designer, Janell is our our marketing, account manager, and admin extraordinaire, and I, Meghan, do art direction, marketing and business development, and you know whatever else us business owners have to do!

What's your mission for your business?
 To provide unique designs and quality that comes from professional designers to photographers making it easier for them to run and market their business.

Do you work at home in PJs or in an office?
We work in a dedicated studio office space on my property but separate from the house. Allows me to have easy access to my little girl :) I try not to wear PJs but it is tempting! I do love PJs...

Favorite part of running your business?
We love to come up with new ideas, new products and our snarky Shoppe Satire posters we put out each week. We have to be careful not to spit out our coffee during those brainstorming sessions here on Fridays.


***The sweet girls from The Shoppe will give away one Fairytale Actions Set to a lucky Savvy reader!! 
$85 value
To enter, leave a comment below telling us your favorite product from The Shoppe. The winner will be chosen tomorrow morning (October 1st) at 8am EST and announced shortly after...good luck!!

Something Savvy to Inspire Your Clients…

After showing the templates I created for my portrait business, I had some photographers asking to purchase these to display on their website.

Here's the link to purchase the set…it contains 7 templates that show your clients different ideas for ordering their galleries. Once they see it…they can now imagine how great their empty wall will look filled with images.

These are flattened jpg's. These are not intended to be filled with your images...just a wall reference. If you'd like to add a clients images, just crop your image to the intended size and drag on top of the jpg's.

The set is $30...hope you enjoy them!
