Digilabs can help you make more money ONLINE this holiday season.  Activate your inactive galleries throughout NOVEMBER & DECEMBER for FREE*.  Market to your customers to grow your online sales this holiday season!

1. REPOST GALLERIES: Login to your account administration and click view galleries.  Find the galleries you would like to repost and click view details. Change the gallery’s expiration date to the date you’d like it to expire (no later than 12/31/09 to qualify for this promotion), press update and your galleries will reactivate!

Marketing Tip: We have found that running a two week special seems to drive more sales.  It gives people time to order and drives a sense of urgency to your customers.  Since the last day to receive online print orders for holiday delivery is December 11th we suggest running your special before this date.

2. CREATE COMPELLING OFFERS: We all love a good holiday deal. Get your clients to ORDER MORE by offering a special holiday discount. Login to your account administration & click discounts & credits.  Create a discount that will apply to ALL galleries and expires before your galleries are set to expire.  Keep it simple with 20% off or create a more creative discount offering 50% off $200 or more in ordering.  Either way, give your clients an incentive to order!

Marketing tip: Don’t forget you can offer custom single photo items in your online offering! Read more about these features or see a sample.  Our most successful studios are offering holiday greeting cards & high resolution images for sale.  You can also offer custom non single photo items for sale as well like books, gift certificates, and more!

3. SPREAD THE WORD: Now it’s time for some simple promotion. If force login or sign in registry features are enabled, go to gallery marketing to collect ALL email addresses for a given gallery, or just compile all of your client email addresses.  Send an email to your clients with the promotional information and a link to the gallery.

Marketing Tip: Try using an inexpensive email marketing company (get on a 30 day free trial & use just for the holidays!) to make a template with your branding. We suggest doing 3 emails during the 2 week promotion.  1. When the promotion begins, 2.  Reminder email one week later and 3. Final email the last day or two reminding them that promotion is ending.

Here is a sample idea for the 1st or 2nd email:

subject: Tis the Season for Cards & Prints!

body: In the great spirit of the Holiday Season YOUR STUDIO NAME is offering a special holiday discount for EVENT DESCRIPTION!

Get 20% off all online orders placed from November 23rd to December 3rd!  Give high quality personalized photo gifts that your friends & family are SURE to love.  Or, use your pictures to create unique holiday cards this season.

Kate & Elle are getting ready for Photo Expo in NYC October 22-24!  Come by & see ALL the new products we are adding this fall & get a special show discount! We’ll be exhibiting in booth 1248!

Last week I grabbed lunch at my favorite grocery spot in Palo Alto & saw a FULL ON PUMPKIN DISPLAY! Through my shock I thought to myself: HOLY MOLY, is it fall already!?!  Well to answer my own question, YES, IT’S FALL…we’re already into the 2nd week of October!  And if it’s Fall already you know what that means?…the Holidays are right around the bend!

Apparently my seasonal clock is all off because it seems like alot of my Photographers are hunkering down for the quickly approaching holiday season!  Which in turn means that a new year is upon us, some would even say a new CALENDAR year!  Speaking of calendars (smooth transition wasn’t it?), what do we know about calendars?

1. Pretty much every family or business has at least one wall calendar in their establishment

2. This calendar is going to be viewed regularly throughout this year.  Its like a 12 year billboard!

3. Calendars are typically filled with a minimum of 12 images, usually PHOTOS

What do I know about you?

1. You take pictures of people

2. You take pictures, people who probably would be SMITTEN with a calendar STARRING THEM!

3. You take pictures of people….Okay you get my point

So let’s spell it out!  Why not offer your customers custom photo calendars?  Oh wait let me rephrase: Why not offer your customers custom photo calendars through Digilabs?   Our free drag & drop software makes it incredibly easy to quickly create a fully customized calendar for your customer!

For your weddings, why not offer a calendar as a free gift to thank the lovely couple?  You can add your logo & studio information to every month & start & stop on any month.  If you Bride recently got married she is SURE to brag to all her girls about this cool addon!  Or, for your family sessions offer calendars with their sessions instead of just greeting cards!  They are sure to prefer their family images over some stock calendar of Hannah Montana or Monet’s Waterlilies & you can include all their significant events like birthdays & anniversary!  They’ll be sure to do it next year!  Also, why not create a Studio calendar of your proudest work & offer to your partners (like hotels, caterers, etc)  with your info handy whenever they might need you throughout the year?  Boudoir sessions are also a PREFECT fit for offering calendars!  That’s just the TIP of the ICEBERG…bottom line calendars are inexpensive, easy to design & a necessity to the everyday person! Digilabs offers free software, quick turn around, high quality & everyday low prices AND are here to help!

You can also add Calendars into your ecommerce web services with the new features we added last month! You can add this into your ecommerce section under Custom (Non-single-photo) Products.

I can start & stop on any month, I can choose what day the week should start on & even select any holidays that would apply to my customer!

Call me a show off but I took a couple screen shots to show just HOW SNAZZY My Calendar & Cards software really is!  We offer 5 different sizes and have over a dozen templates to choose from.  There also is the ability to add unlimited custom events (anniversarys, birthdays, family gatherings, etc etc) & we offer 35 national and religious holidays.  The possibilities are endless!

Also here is a little peek into my January page for my calendar.

So I’d like to point out some items of importance here:

1. I’ve added multiple pictures including 1 that was used full bleed on my background.  I could control the border, opacity & even order & rotation.

2. I can add text anywhere I want. You can even add your studio name & logo to every page!

3. And finally you’ll see a standard holiday on there (MLK day) as well as a Birthday that I added in using the software along with a clip art (you can use a actual thumbnail as well!)

Our calendars are printed on 100# cardstock & wire-o bound so they’ll lay nicely against your or your customer’s walls.  You can take a peek at different sizing & pricing HERE.

Jennifer S. Rau Photography is a boutique studio based in Southern California. While most of her work in focused in Los Angeles and Santa Barbara wine country, Jen also shoots up &

I feel like this image really captures the intensity of this couples love!

down the West Coast & along with a few destination weddings each year. She limits her bookings each year, enabling her to establish a personal connection with every client and ensure outstanding service.  Jen’s approach is a blend of documentary style capture & modern portraiture.

She loves natural, simple, classic images and resists trends. Her work has been published in magazines such as Modern Bride, the Knot, Your Wedding Day & Ceremony as well as on style blogs such as The Wedding Chicks & Wedding Bee.

Best groomsmen shot i've ever shot, i love how they all just brought it! Exactly the expression i was looking for! I love the beared guy.. He gets the rockin it gold star!

Jen is a woman of all trades: Photographer, Mom, avid Yoga Practitioner, Hiker, passionate Foodie & Cook. Besides her photography blog she has a food blog just for fun whose readers have to wait weeks between posts when she is busy shooting! She is currently working on a commercial portfolio focusing on women’s fitness & lifestyle.

Sexiest shot ever! I love the strange etheral light quality & dark water under the pier. This is one of my favorites of all time. Won 8th place in wpja trash the dress contest last year.

The reason I chose Jen for this month’s Photographer of the Month, aside from the fact that her successful Studio has been working with Digilabs for YEARS now, is she makes my heart melt! She makes me, a very practical girl, sappy & wistful…a hard thing to do these days I first became aware of Jen when she won our 2007 contest for best use of the Digilabs Online Web galleries.  I was asked to help judge & I remember her being an easy 1^st in my book.  In my personal life I follow her blog (which I finally admitted to her ) because I like the way she looks at life!  I like seeing pictures from her Weddings , her OTHER work & even pictures of what her adorable son, Fox did that weekend!  I think you will too after reading this edition of Photographer of the Month:

1. Describe your Studio’s style: I like to think of myself as a blend of documentary style capture and modern portraits. I am very unobtrusive during the majority of the day (& prefer it that way) but when its portrait time I “suggest” ideas.  It also allows my couples basically just to put their unique spin on my loose direction. I find that keeping it organic (like saying “go over there and hold each other”) keeps thing really natural and unposed looking because they’ll go to their most natural positioning.
2. What inspires you when shooting? For weddings -The couple, love, and beauty. Honestly its hard to shoot a couple who seems to lack chemistry & sometimes I see that. I love LOVE. I love when it just pours off a couple & I know they will be together forever. I get perhaps a more intimate view than anyone else of a couple on their wedding day, something I respect & cherish. When I ask a couple to embrace and they just melt into each other it’s so easy to show it in the images. They just make my job easy! I have to say too that I’m super aesthetic (as I think most photographers are) so beautiful locations &  details really fire me up. For everything else I do – Life inspires me. I just get an idea and have to shoot it or I see something and can’t resist picking up my camera.  The camera is my way to express the world as I see it.
   

   I think my best shot ever: the red shoes, strong centered composition, super human yoga tricks ON TRAIN TRACKS. LOVE.

   

   Tricks with sparkers: I like this because it makes my clients think I'm nuts but hug me when they see what I got!

3. What gear do you use to make your magic? All Canon, all digital. I shoot with 5ds. I don’t plan on upgrading the mark II because I just don’t like the way the files look. I shoot primarily with my primes, 35, 50 and 85. I like the depth of field & shallow as I can get away with and I just can’t do what I do with zooms. I have a wide and long zoom but I really rarely use them. My favorite gadget is a hoodman LCD loupe. I shoot a lot in bright light and I love to back light so a lot of times I’m blinded. The loupe helps me to see my LCD after I’ve been staring the sun for 2 minutes.
   

   The perfect imperfect family portrait! Miss Gracie would not sit down so we did what she wanted to and got this. Thanks for not listening Gracie!

4. Important question I think EVERY STUDIO is asking themselves these days: How does your studio set itself apart from the multitude of NEW photographers out there? I just do what I do and shoot what I like and it seems clients keeps calling . I just keep being me staying true to myself & my art.  I think a lot of newer photographers think they have to emulate someone else but attempts to copy are never as good as the original. I found my style when I started just shooting from my heart. Elizabeth Messina told me to just shoot what I like and to not shoot anything else. That has been the best advice I ever got.
   

   I love the dreamy quality and soft colors!

5. How you changing your business to incorporate things like selling the high res images & social networking tools? My wedding clients get the high resolution images. I really want them to have them. I am not just catering to the trend but want to give them that.  As for facebook, I’m addicted like everyone else. Its awesome to put images on there or link to my blog and have new people find me. I constantly have people emailing me saying they don’t even have a boyfriend but they just bookmarked me and will call me when they get married!!!  Who wouldn’t mind that kind of advertisement! AND IT’S FREE!
6. How does Digilabs help your business? Digilabs gives me time back! My clients love the pretty, user friendly interface and I love that I don’t have to deal with print fulfillment, shipping, shipping problems . . . I have more time to shoot and play with Fox (my adorable & energetic son).
7. Craziest Bridezilla or Craziest Customer story? Thank god I don’t have one. I think I’m super lucky but I really really don’t.
8. Best Advice to give to other photographers? Shoot what you love. Get inspiration from anywhere but your genre. I.E.  If you shoot weddings DON’T REPEAT & DON’T look at forum favorites and wedding blogs all day!!  Also, don’t start with prices too low. Do outsource!  Do contact me if you have any questions!

And there you have it Folks!  As I said before, she truly is a woman of all trades, but what surprises me is she’s good at it all!  Want to get addicted to Facebook like she is?  Become her friend HERE.  Also I highly suggest following her Blogs HERE & HERE.

Delicious & Nutritious!

It’s Friday and as customary here at Digilabs we have Friday lunch together.  On today’s menu: Pizza

Not many people know it but all the employees at Digilabs are privledged enough to dine in each other’s company once a week!  Of course we’re talking about the Ladies & Gents (like myself) who work in the adminstrative office in Palo Alto.  It’s a really nice way for all the different departments to sit together and spend some quality time giving the company a chance to reconnect & chat about things OTHER then Digilabs.  We TRY to avoid topics like politics and usually end up chatting about going ons in the world (most of which we all picked up from the commuinty US weekly magazine).  I find that everyone is usually in a great mood (probably because it’s Friday) and as ALWAYS we lay the hot sauce on THICK!

Have a great Friday, I know I did! It was delicioius !

Remember the days of ole when we used to carry pictures of our loved ones in our wallets? I think those 2×3 prints might have been called wallets?  I mean, not to say my Grandpa still does not do that but it is definitely a trend that is fading fast….I was recently chatting it up with a Photographer and was discussing the utility of the 5×5 coffee table book.  It’s this exact same concept!  Call it a purse book, brag book, call it the itsy bitsy teeny weeny book regardless bottom line: it’s GREAT advertisement for your studio.

Copyright Celine Michelle Photography.

Our 5×5 layflat Ashbury book is QUICKLY becoming our biggest seller and WHY is this minescule book causing such a BIG ruckus?  Well I have a couple thoughts behind why:

1. It’s inexpensive for YOU: Our 5×5’s start at $34.99-44.99 for 20 sides/10 pages.  That is an awesome price & has the potential for HUGE markups.  I have one photographer selling these puppies at a 200% markup!!!  Don’t mind if I do, right?

2. FREE My Photobooks Software: Our software allows FULL customization meaning you can easily, quickly & effortlessly throw your studio logo, website & other information onto this book!  Add it front, back & center…you do whatever you like!

3. It works for EVERY type of customer: AND I MEAN ANY! I am showing a baby book here, obviously with all the cuteness on the covers, but this can work with ALOT of different customers.  For weddings: it can be a Bride book, Engagment book, Parent Album or a Mess the Dress book!  For Events: this is a great fit for the Event Manager, for the Venue, etc. For the Family & Portrait: you can offer it for Day in the Life of the Family, Pet/Baby/Child/Senior books (cause aren’t they all the same thing ) Why not offer it as a Holiday 2009 special even & see the $ value of your holiday clients TRIPLE!

Branding Branding Branding!

4. It’s a WALKING, DRIVING, FLYING & MOVING Advertisement: HERE is the key; this book is easy peasy to carry.  It’s something that ANY woman will slip into her purse OR any person can travel with.  And hopefully they’ll do more than carry it around. MORE THAN LIKELY they will open it up & show it to friends, family & maybe even strangers.  Can’t you just see? A Bride showing off her BIG DAY or Daddy beaming about his NEW bundle of joy!  It’s a modern day wallet pic!

What is the moral of this story you may ask? Offer these 5×5 Books immediately because:

a. Your clients will love them increasing the $ value of current clients (200% markup what what?!)

b. Becuase they can be branded with your info & will travel with customers advertising your Studio to new potential clients.

Okay sooo…go do it…go now.  Download the My Photobooks software HERE & open it up to create the 5×5 Ashbury book!  DON”T FORGET: add you branding!!! Throw it on there with your website and you’re ready to ride!  Need some help?  Email me & I’ll get you rocking & rollin!

Like many photographers, Jeff Cable started shooting pictures for friends & his hobby soon gained a following. He started his professional career in the San Francisco Bay Area photographing Bar and Bat Mitzvahs. Since then he has been rockin’ around the globe, capturing images at the 2008 Summer Olympic Games in Beijing, photographing models in Brazil & Argentina, teaching photo classes in Australia & across the US.  Jeff is always striving to take his photography to the next level & continues to work & study with some of the most respected photographers in the world.

Shot early in the evening with a 50mm 1.4 lens and I love the softness of the image. Not to mention the cute subject.

Great expression from the model on the train in Melbourne, Australia.

Jeff is best known for his creative artistic eye, his easy-going attitude and his knowledge of technology. And when I say ‘easy-going attitude’ I mean it, he’s a gem!  He’s funny, charismatic & makes anyone feel comfortable in any environment.  He embraced digital cameras before they were widely accepted by the industry, & has continued to exploit the latest in technology to provide the best images with the best equipment.

I love the color and symmetry of this shot - not to mention the silhouette of Jay Dickman (my mentor) hidden in there!

I actually met him at a show, the Photo Expo in New York, almost 2 years ago.  He asked A LOT of questions about our budding coffee table books & definitely knew his stuff.  He came by the booth, oh about 10 times in the 2 day show looking at binding, asking questions, and by the 1^st night he had already downloaded the My Photobooks software & LOVED it.  He ordered his first coffee table book the DAY we got back from New York.  I will say, I bullied him into our Web Services mostly because I knew it would be such a great fit for his business & I’m a great salesperson .  Now, when he comes by our booth at shows to say hi, he’ll sell the product for us and literally chat up Photographers explaining the benefits of our service.  He does my job for me folks!

Jeff writes a monthly photography column for Digital Reproduction Magazine (Australia) and is a featured photographer at Lexar Media’s Digital Photography website. His images were chosen for Lexar Media’s 2007-2009 International Advertising campaign.  I knew he’d be a perfect canidate for Photographer of the Month as he knows alot about the industry, has a QUICKLY developing Studio that is growing EXPONENTIALLY in the last 2 years that i have known him & is downright fun.  Check it out:

1. Describe to me a little more about your personal ’style’ : According to my wife – I have none, when it comes to the way I dress. As for my shooting, it really depends on what I am capturing. When I photograph events, like Bar Mitzvahs or weddings, I shoot in a journalistic style. I stand back and capture what is unfolding in front of me.

Placing a gelled flash behind the screen and having some fun.

I love interacting with the people since that puts everyone at ease and it makes the day more interesting for me. I try not to be “the typical photographer” and strive to be a part of the day. When I am shooting an advertisement, I am very focused at completing the job at hand. I guess I am like a Chameleon, I my shooting style changes depending on my environment.

I love the natural light falling on the family and the seriousness of the moment.

2. I love to find out from ALL types of photographers: What inspires you when shooting? The quest for the killer shot! There is nothing better than nailing a shot and knowing the second that I hit the shutter release that I got a shot that both the client & I will remember for a lifetime. For me, it is knowing that the photo is technically and artistically perfect. For the client, it is knowing that they have an image that will remain special to their family forever. I am helping them capture family history, that is incredibly inspiring to me.

I saw on a freeway overpass in Bristol, England for 3 hours waiting for the right light for this. I better like it!

3. Tell me what helps you ‘work your magic’?  What gear do you use? I have been using Canon cameras from the beginning. Recently I switched to the 5D Mark II and it is awesome. I love the fact that I can capture images inside a Temple or Church at ISO 3200 and still have a very usable image. That is huge for me! As for lenses, I use a combination of long zoom lenses like the 70-200 and the 100-400 and for wider shots I rely on the 24-105 and 16-35 lenses. I have recently been experimenting with the Sigma 15mm fish eye lens which is really cool.

4. With SO many NEW ‘weekend shooters’ getting into the ProPhotography market what does your Studio do to set yourself apart? The customers have a lot of choices today. I rely on my web site to show people my work and my shooting style. When I talk to them, I never try the “hard sell”, instead I encourage them to look at my work, see if it matches what they want, and then we talk about the rest of the details. My wife creates all of our photo books (using Digilabs of course!) and we use her sense of style to sell that aspect of our business.

This guy is fast! Getting a good shot of him was tough. I nailed this one!

5. How are you changing your business to incorporate things like selling the high res images & social networking tools (like facebook) Man, this is a tough question and one that I struggle with all the time. I made a decision that if people really want the digital files, they should be entitled to them, but at a cost that makes good business sense to me. So, now I sell the edited images to the client for a set price. One rule that I NEVER break is this: I never sell unedited work. I tell the client that it is like Porsche selling a half made car. People hire me because I deliver a very good finished product and I do not want my RAW images in someone else’s hands.

As for social networking sites, I have created a group on Facebook and it is a great way to keep people up-to-date with what I am doing. Due to time constraints, I do not update the content every day, but I use it as a tool for new and exciting information. As for Twitter, I still don’t get it. I really don’t think that people care what I am doing every second of the day.

She was a very cute girl and I love the way that this shows both sides of her.

I really use my blog as my own personal social site. I link the blog to Facebook and that works really well. I love sharing my photos and stories with friends this way. The toughest part is finding time to add the content and keep it fresh.

6. How does Digilabs help your business? Digilabs has been instrumental in our business. I first stumbled upon Digilabs at Photo Plus in NY in 2007 when we were looking for a company that could produce hard cover books with images printed on the cover. At the time, we were using another popular company, but they only had printed sleeves and we did not feel that these represented us well. Once we tried the Digilabs books, there was no turning back. We have now produced almost 100 books and the clients love them!

After using Digilabs as our book creator for the first year, Kate, who by the way is the best, convinced me (kicking and screaming) to try the ecommerce portion of their site to sell my images online. This was a big change to my workflow and I was scared to make this jump. Thank goodness that I did! The first event that I posted on their site generated $1000 in incremental business and this has become our standard ever since. We have sold thousands of dollars of prints that we would not have done if it were not for Digilabs.  Thanks Kate!

Opening ceremonies from the Beijing Olympics - what more do I have to say?

7. OK Don’t hold back!  Tell me your craziest Bridezilla/Customer story? Nope. Never happened yet, thankfully!  The toughest clients we have had to deal with are the ones that want to make endless changes to the books. We had one client who made so many changes to the book that when she finally said “print it” my wife and I were shocked (& relieved).

8. Advice for other Photographers? Stay true to yourself and do not change your shooting style to match a client. If they have chosen you as their photographer, it is because they like the work that you have shown them. Stay with that and both you and your client will be happy in the end. And, at each event, try shooting something new and different just to keep pushing yourself. Try a different pose, a different lens, a different setting on the camera… Oh…and use Digilabs to help grow your business.

Now you get it right?  Isn’t he a Gem?!! (AND YES flattery gets you anywhere with me )  Check out one of Jeff’s online book shares HERE that left the Mother in tears & the Father ecstatic through Digilabs My Photobooks software.  His website, www.jeffcable.com & become his friend on facebook and/or follow his blog!
