Let me start by saying that I know its been a while since my last post, but there has been alot going on around here and I have been really busy with alot of stuff in my personal life and my business life. For those of you that have been asking about my posting activity, there you go;-) So on to business stuff. Over the past couple of months, I've been working steadily on rebuilding my website and I can finally say that version 2.1 is done. Since August, I moved my website from my previous provider over to
ShowitSites and I can't tell you how happy I am to be there. Their product and service is second to none and the flexibility that I have to make changes on the fly is incredible. Plus, there are constant upgrades and add-on's that I can use at will. Pretty GREAT!!
David Jay owns the company and he has been instrumental in many of us getting our businesses set up the right way. Plus, he's a heck of a nice guy. I got to attend his Free to Succeed Tour back in August and he shared a ton of info with us. You can read more about my thoughts on this in earlier posts. Also, as of September, I'm no longer with Pictage. No need to go into all of the reasons why I left, but I have found a better solution for my clients in
NextProof. Their galleries are fantastic and they don't harass you with a bunch of emails trying to sell you their products. Oops...Now you know one of the reasons why I left Pictage! Anyhow, my clients will love NextProof and the lab that I now use is White House Custom Color. They are the best in the business and I guarantee you will love their prints!
Lastly, I want to say something about
KISS Wedding Books. For those of you that have followed this blog, you have read posts about KISS before. Well, I have to let you know that I just ordered my first KISS album for a client a couple of weeks ago and I have experienced the best customer service from them that I have received from any merchant, anywhere. I immediately had an email letting me know the status of my order and when I called with a question, I got the owner of the company, Kevin Swan, on the phone. He was aware of my order and was eager to talk to me about it. Now, I know that lots of people have talked about KISS in this way, but I thought that I would share my firsthand experience with you. If you are a photographer and you haven't decided on which album products to offer your clients, you should really check them out. Kevin is a working wedding photographer and they understand our needs like nobody's business. Plus, their albums ROCK!! Really hip, simple, and handmande! Can't wait until mine gets to me in a few weeks. Until next time...
