Grow Your Business in 2008 and Beyond

There's an active discussion in the DWF Pro business section with many photographers weighing in on economic conditions in their market.

Unless you have more business than you can handle, a review of some recent DWF threads might be helpful in filling up your dance card. And your bank account:

 

Economic Conditions in Your Market

  1. DWF Marketing Director Tim Uhl leads a discussion on the value of having a 'style'
  2. Mitche Graf, who knows a thing or two about Power Selling, has advice on how to price your products.
  3. Ever had a bride ask why you charge so much?  Here are a few ideas for your reply.
  4. DWf members weigh in on their most popular and profitable product
  5. Russ Pullen and other DWF members discuss the benefits of predesigning albums
  6. Are bridal shows worth the investment?
  7. Want lots of great advice on marketing portraits?
  8. Wise words on the subject of great or not so great customer service
  9. What could be more important than how to close the deal?
  10. And finally, a reminder to visit the DWF Discount Page because spending less means more left over to keep!
Jerry Ghionis Ice Society
ice societyNow, you can learn from one of the coolest teachers in wedding photography while chillin' at your computer! Jerry Ghionis has launched The ICE Society. Every month Jerry provides a new chapter featuring instructional video, "before and after" and much more.

We're proud to announce that for the month of March ONLY, DWF members are being offered a substantial subscription discount! Find out how Jerry can bring you prICEless skills and techniques -- by visiting The ICE Society. Chapter 1 is now online, free of charge.
Digital Photography 2.0: What's Next?
2.0

Cameras that won't take the picture til everyone is smiling and no one is blinking? Cameras and software that allow you to adjust the depth of field, after the picture has been taken? Software that can clear up a picture taken with a shaky hand? 3D Holographic pictures?

In the near future, advances, either in cameras themselves or in post processing software, will produce techniques that go under the broad heading of Computational Photography

I Can't Believe I was Moderated!

Quiz Question: How many DWF posts are moderated on the average day?

DWF members post 1,700 times a day, and on a typical day we moderate three of them. Sometimes on a bad day, we'll moderate 7 posts! It's not an arbitrary process: We have a moderator's forum, where our 11 moderators consult each other and act by consensus. Usually one mod draws the short straw and has to deliver the bad news: You've been moderated and here's why.

It's not the end of the world, and it doesn't make you a bad person. It merely means your post was outside of the DWF rules. We thought you'd like to know that the DWF rules are posted in the FAQ, which is a menu link on nearly every page of the DWF

How not to Lose all Your Money in Vegas
pokerThree suggestions: Come to the DWF get together organized by Anne McCarthy Monday night, March 17th at 9:30pm. The location is the Westin bar. Networking and socializing with your fellow DWF members is always more rewarding than the slots.

Contact Peter Finger if you are interested in doing some group shooting in Sin City.
