| Photography Business Workshop Offered by CEO Kevin Casey |
Tough economic times call for action. Finding Your Blue Ocean in 2009, an interactive workshop led by Kevin Casey, CEO of Collages.net, is designed for studios that are committed to being successful. This workshop provides the tools to help you learn the basic business strategies that allowed Kevin to start Collages.net, a rapidly growing multimillion dollar company, from his kitchen table.
 Robert J. Trenske of Robert & Kathleen Photographers in Bridgeport, CT describes his experience at Casey’s workshop, "Kevin presented a solid approach to analyzing business and action plans. He really got me thinking about change – outside the box. The interaction and team exercises were very beneficial." This workshop is designed for you to take a hard look at your studio. You will walk away with a clear idea of what changes you can make tomorrow. You will learn:

Collages.net’s Product Development Team has been working non-stop to add these hot new products to Collages.net’s product line. These products give photographers more options and price points for today’s clients.
Companion Books
Collages.net has added companion books to its existing album product line. Companion books are a new, quality press printed product from Collages.net, bound with perfect stitched binding. With their sleek dust jacket and full image, hard-cover, Collages.net’s Companion Books offer versatility in an elegant fashion. Companion books are ideal as parent albums, coffee table books, or additional album copies.
Purchase a Collages.net Companion Book in several sizes (6x9, 8x10, 8x12, 11x14, 9x6, 10x8, 12x8, 14x11, 8x8, and 10x10) to either match an album or as a stand alone product. Companion books offer an innovative and vibrant showcase of your work with a high gloss cover and optional dust jacket for added protection and elegance. Additionally, if you purchased Collages.net Album Design, the same design can be formatted for a companion book at no extra charge.
Companion books are produced quickly. Typical orders take between three to four business days to produce plus shipping. Just like Collages.net Albums, you can receive a 30% discount on every companion book studio sample order.
