As we come to the end of our first month of weekly promotions, I have to say its been a great success. I started the idea in order to increase awareness of the company in the local area. At to that end it has been very successful. The number of toddlers turning up each week has steadily increased and the pet project has brought up some very interesting photographs as I’m sure you know if you’ve looked at the gallery. But that’s not it by a long chalk! We carry on; refining and increasing the ideas. So for June there will be a new set of themes and some tweaking.
First we’re not going to run a theme on the pets any more; just become creative with the pets that turn up. We found that having a single theme each week would restrict what we wanted to do in that week.
Second, we’re going to hit the portfolios a lot more for Thursdays. I’ve got some great ideas that got drowned out in the enthusiasm of the other two promotional days, so this month we’re going to be more proactive with the models and artist.
Finally we’re launching our agents and exhibitions scheme. If anyone out there is interested in earning some serious money promoting the studio, now is the time to contact me. It’ll be based on the early bird catching the worm so if you want call me ahead of time on 0797 3366472.
Until next time, wishing you all the best.
As we come to the end of our second week, of scheduled events, the word is spreading! This week the Toddler Tuesday theme was ‘Rocking Horse’. We got a Victorian style rocking horse in the studio, taken off its rocker so that the kids could climb over it in safety. We then got great pictures of the toddlers riding, playing and standing with the horse. Have a look and see what you think . Pet Wednesdays’ theme was ‘Head Down’ and we got the largest German shepherd cross in I’ve eve ever seen!A great shot and again well worth a look . As I’m writing this we’re running a portfolio shoot with three girls who have turned up for Portfolio Thursday. All in all a good week! As for next week the themes are displayed here! Why not come and see what all the fuss is about. Oh! And do remember there is no hard sell, emotional blackmail or pressure techniques of any sort, I won’t stand for it! Just come down and join in the good fun.
Wow! They say never work with children or animals, well we proved that wrong. Our first weeks Toddlers Tuesday and Walkies Wednesday and we got off to a good start with our first two themes. For the kids we chose 'Windows to the soul' with the idea that we could get some nice close up portraits and we got some great images you can check them out here. Kids are always able to give you a honest view of the world and you can see the innocence of youth by just looking at these pictures.
With the pets we had an opportunity to work with a puppies and kittens; not at the same time but again we were so happy to see that the images really worked. The theme was 'Running for a treat' and being that the animals were so young mean't they were also up for running and jumping all over the studio. All in all it was a great launch and we're looking forward to building up the numbers each week.
As for Thursday? Well Thursday is Folios; Portfolios, for models and Promtional images for performance artists. All are welcome just walk in and we'll shoot. We're now preparing yesterdays pet shots for the gallery and then its on to todays shoots. Oh and of course must make time to vote!
So, it's bank holiday monday and Stephanie my daughter is holding an open day for all her friends which she has advertised on Facebook as the Big Shoot. People have been popping in and out all day for their free photoshoots which will later be put up on Facebook for all to see. This has been a good promotion for the Studio and an excellent chance for Stephanie to practice her craft.
