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 our photographers share the many ways they are maximizing the tools offered by Collages.net.

This month, Jennifer Evans of Candy Apple Photography shares how Collages.net products and online event sites benefit her studio's sales and marketing.

"Collages.net has totally revolutionized the way we do business. All of our portrait sessions and weddings are posted on a Collages.net website for viewing and ordering images. At weddings, we set out event cards that display the site’s log-in information, which drives additional customers to the site after the event. Our reprint sales are great!

When we first started our business, we were looking for an online proofing company that fit our style. Our work has a very contemporary, vibrant look and our viewing site needs to embody this same style. We customize every site we post with different color banners, music, and flourishes, giving each wedding and high school senior a unique look that works with our branding.

In addition to using Collages.net for online viewing, we also include the DVD slide show in our larger wedding packages. This is a great add-on to a wedding package, because it bulks up the package in the customer's mind, yet is easy and inexpensive for our studio to provide. The DVD slide show is a great way to provide customers with all of their images - without causing our studio to lose reprint sales. Plus, customers can easily transport DVDs to work or school to show off their images. Lately, we have started selling the Collages.net gallery wraps as well - they are beautiful! The color is rich and vibrant and the print quality is perfect.

In addition to all the great products and services Collages.net offers, the company also benefits our business in many other ways. We always try to attend the parties they throw at WPPI and Imaging USA, which give us a great opportunity to network with other photographers. Additionally, Collages.net has given us great exposure. They have featured our work as Website of the Week and have used our images in their magazine marketing, online marketing, and in their expo booths.

We owe a lot of our success to Collages.net, and I encourage every photographer I meet to use them."
