Mike Fulton of TriCoast Photography in Richwood, Texas shares how choosing Collages.net, from a financial and promotional perspective, was one of his best decisions.

Collages is Not Just for Online Sales

"When I first signed up with Collages.net, I was hesitant to dish out $70 a month for something I felt I could do using other cheaper, “middle-man” companies or even using Photoshop's automatic galleries and hosting the images myself. However, after talking to other professional photographers who use Collages.net, I took a chance and told myself I would use them for six months. If I did not see any more print sales I would go back to using the cheaper options on the net.

Well my six months have long come and gone, and I found out one true thing-Collages.net is only as good as you, the photographer, want it to be. At first I did not really understand the concept of Collages.net and what they had to offer, and my post-event print sales hurt due to this. However, I soon learned what Collages.net can offer my business and more importantly what Collages.net can offer my clients. My print sales, at minimum, doubled per wedding event, but I found out the money was not the most important issue.

The environment that Collages.net gives you, the professional photographer, is one of the most important aspects of marketing and making an impression of your business in your client’s mind. From allowing the client to control the settings of the event to adding your own personal logo on your pages, everything Collages.net does makes your clients unable to forget your company and the images that you are displaying.

Collages.net separates themselves by taking care of the details better than any other company in this business. They have assisted me in my business by taking my emergencies and making them their own, solving my problems as if they were their problems, and in the process they actually made friends with me instead of treating me like a paid client.

These are just four ways that I use Collages.net to assist me in making more money without worrying about making money.
 

	Collecting e-mails at the receptions - print out the event cards that Collages.net designed.
	E-mail marketing - Collages.net sends three e-mails during the life of an event site. I control any other marketing by creating Power Marketing E-mails from my studio.
	Using the Full Service Workflow option at NO EXTRA cost.
	Displaying my work in the best web presentation available.

Now over a year later, I will gladly pay the $70 a month to just have my images displayed and not ever worry about selling a print. Every event I get people to look at my work, know my business' name, and find my website, which in turn has helped me book more weddings and make more money than I could have before. In my mind Collages.net has to be one of the best online advertising-marketing decisions you can make for your business. Get away from looking at the bottom line of just money per month.  Learn every aspect of what Collages.net can offer you and your clients, and I promise you, your business will grow more than it ever has before."
