New Stuff for 2009

Good Morning Friends,

As a follow up to my last post, I wanted to take a quick moment to update everybody with information on whats new for 2009. Besides moving my business and my life, I have made some product line changes to my packages. This mainly applies to albums, but I have also changed my online gallery provider to SmugMug. I've been toying around with switching over to them since the summer, but some of the changes they have made to their service sealed the deal for me and these changes will help my clients in several ways. First, SmugMug now has a new lab and I couldn't be more happy. In the past I have been using White House Custom Color with no complaints, but my gallery provider didn't integrate with them and this increased order times substantially. But now, SmugMug integrates seamlessly with Bay Photo. Bay Photo is an incredible lab and they have won practically every shootout on print quality and service. I'm really excited about this change. Also, with SmugMug you can preview the cropping on all photos that you order before you finalize your order. This is key and I have been receiving alot of feedback in the past from my clients about this feature and how much they wanted it. Well now, you've got it.

As for albums, I have recently decided to stream down my album offerings to make things less confusing to my clients. My standard albums will still be KISS Wedding Books because they ROCK!! But now, I'm proud to offer PictoBooks. These premium albums are pretty incredible and offer more options than you can shake a stick at. If you want jewels on your album, they can do it. If you can think of it, they probably offer it. I will still be able to order Finao, La-Vie, and Asuka Books if you want them, but my mainstays will be KISS and PictoBooks. Until next time....
