Photographer Survey

Help us on our mission to change school photography by sharing your thoughts and business experience. Golden Gate University marketing department is working with Mugshots on a marketing survey that is focused on how we can best help community photographers enter into the school market. We got a late start and would love to have at least 100 partcipates so feel free to spread the word to your photographer friends who might be interested in photographing in the schools for fun and profit. :0) Here's the link, it won't take longer than a few minutes.
Thanks!

Grateful Moment

Well, we are just catching our breath from photographing some 6000 smiling faces and it is time to start thinking about next year. Wait! Stop the press, it is actually time to sit for a moment. To settle into the sense of satisfaction in a job well done, a bank account filling up and an enormous number of very pleased customers.

Wow, that is a gratifying feeling. A pleasure.

Next week, we will catch the wave of success and send out marketing materials to the schools that are still plagued with unhappy parents and frustrated kids who still don't know there is a better way to make school portraits. It will be great! But for this moment I will just sit here grinning, remembering all those smiling faces that peered in my lens.

We are currently working on a number of ideas for helping other photographers see the level of success that Mugshots has reached. This year's Fall ordering season is showing a strong increase in order averages as well as a huge surge in online ordering. It feels like a "tipping point" is looming here in the Bay Area and we really want to see our vision of school photography spread to others.

In the next week we will have a link to a Golden Gate University marketing class's online survey where photographers can share with us what they need and want in the way of support. You can also check back here for more information regarding "Mugsy U" workshop/summit in the beautiful Napa Valley.

Make money and beautiful portraits so parents can stop you in the grocery store and tell you what I hear all the time..."you took the most beautiful photo of my child at school." Over the tomatoes they have to pull it out of their wallet and share it with me. You know why? Because "school is a great place to photograph kids." Cross my heart.
