  Professional Tips from Jodi Hauptman-Drannen
Over 10,000 professional photographers are now using Collages.net! Many of our photographers incorporate Collages.net into their studios in unique, creative, and revenue-generating ways. Professional Tips is where Collages.net photographers share the many ways they are maximizing the tools offered by Collages.net.

Jodi Hauptman-Drannen of jhd photography describes how Collages.net has drastically increased her studio’s exposure as well as offered her beneficial marketing tools.

I started using Collages.net about a year and a half ago when I lost a wedding solely because I did not offer online posting. I am a member of the Professional Photographers of America (PPA), and Collages.net advertises in their magazine. I checked out Collages.net's website and thought, "This is my door to expanding my business!"

And it really was.

Most of the brides and grooms I work with have family and friends all over the country and the world. Having the ability to post all my wedding images online allows my business to become worldwide! My once-little, rural studio's work has been seen in Paris. Wow!

I love when I open my e-mail and see I have a Collages.net order. It reaches customers that before I was not able to contact. This generates more revenue for my studio as well as increased exposure. I also love when all of my year's events are reposted for the holidays at no charge to me. I cannot tell you how much I appreciate that as the orders start coming in.

I not only use Collages.net as the place where I upload wedding images for viewing and ordering, but I use it as a marketing tool. Whenever prospective brides contact me, I give them the links to a number of my online weddings to view. The bride can view at her leisure, and she is able to view collections of my wedding images that I could not possibly show her in one sitting.

Thank you, Collages.net, for all that you have done to grow my business!!
