Hello to all-
I hope you have had a good summer, filled with fun and work. It seemed to go by so quickly, considering here in SF, we really never saw the sun. So, time got away from us, but we are going to have a PUG this Wednesday. I know it is last minute, but we want to have it.
First and foremost, we really want to build a community of photographers through these PUG’s. I really want to work on addressing issues we are all facing, and work through them together. So, for this month’s PUG, we would love you to bring a problem you are facing in your business and we can all help brainstorm to help each other through it. My problem right now is pricing. I have the same pricing as when I started, there are so many factors, when to raise them, how much in this economy, do I wait and do it in the new year????? So that is my problem,what is yours? Bring it to the PUG and we will see what we can do to help.
Also, we have Pictage Samples. Come and see what the books and canvases feel and look like up close and in person.
For our Sept. PUG we will have Christina Shook, a very talented local photographer who had a book published this year “Chicks on Bikes” She is going to talk to us about getting published, her experiences with her book tour etc. If you have not met her, she is awesome and inspirational, you don’t want to miss her! Ironically enough, she introduced me to Pictage years ago, and said she loved the PUG’s that they put on and it kept her loyal to Pictage. Who knew it would lead to me being a PUG leader!
Heads up, WPPI roadshow is going to be in Sacramento on Aug. 25. It is a mini WPPI event. It looks to be good. The focus is on marketing. Here is the link:
