One week and counting and the birthday party is still in full swing! In case you missed the announcement, we’ve received so many prize donations that we’re keeping this thing going ’til the very last giveaway has been awarded – so check back today and all weekend long for more giveaways, pop-quiz instant winners, and flash giveaways on Facebook!

Right now we have an amazing prize pack combo from Prevealthe iPad Sales Tool for Photographers, The Search Engine Cookbook for Photographers by Zach Prez, and a “Full Demo Pack” from “The Shop” at AMSW Photography. This is a prize package worth over $230.00!


preveal

From The Business of Awesomebusinessofawesome.com:

Preveal brings the power of showing your clients their images on their walls to your iPad. With easy step-by-step instructions, your clients gather photographs of the places in their home that they would like wall art (or you go to their home and take the photos for them), and you can then show your clients exactly how the photographs will look in their home. You can show them a variety of wall gallery collections as well as showing them how single large outwork pieces will look. Ever had that client that wondered if an 8×10 print would look great over their fireplace? Now you can show them that it is too small, and what size will be more appropriate.

To go along with Preveal, make sure you get a copy of Design Aglow’s free guide for clients to photograph their home for the wall displays. The educational guide ‘teaches your clients how to take a well composed, properly scaled image of their home’s future wall gallery location‘.”



SEO Cookbook

The Search Engine Cookbook for Photographers -
Easy Recipes to Rank Higher” by Zach Prez will help you:

         •  Get more clients
         •  Attract the right clients
         •  Charge the fees you deserve
         •  Scale back paid marketing activities
         •  Look like you’re the best in your area
         •  Build a client base that can generate referral business

“My process for teaching is very much like a chef sharing a recipe. I simple tell you what you need and how to put it all together. So I came up with a cookbook model with tools, ingredients, and recipes to rank you well. You’re going to love it!” -Zach Prez

WOW! This is THE guide to understanding and implementing SEO. My favorite part are the recipes provided. 115 pages of holding my hand and literally spoon-feeding me the information. It was refreshing to be able to sit and learn without having to supplement with other sources. I strongly recommend this for business owners that are lacking on the SEO and web presence. After this book SEO will be a cakewalk!” -Rachel Brenke, The Law Tog



amsw demo pack

“The Shop” at AMSW Photography‘s “Full Demo Pack” includes:

1.  Cloud Overlay in “Puffy Heart”
2.  Color Texture in “Yellow and Orange”

We’re excited to have Sarah of Parisi Images back for another guest post here at Paperie! This time she’s sharing her in-home gallery space with our readers.

And make sure you read ’til the end because we have new birthday party info!

Parisi Images logo

The actual space is a small (barely over 100 square feet) four-season porch attached to the back of the house. It offers just enough room to do what I love—invite a bride a groom over to share in some wine or coffee and spend the evening sharing our stories. If you meet with me, you’ll soon learn that the reason I photograph weddings is because I love stories…and I want you to see and to know that your story is beautiful, just the way it is. The design of the space is driven by the the idea of generous hospitality—the table—an old farmstand table painted white—holds center stage. Just like so many kitchen tables, it’s at the table where we get to know one another, where the sharing, the giving, the receiving all take place when you come for a visit.

For other photographers out there interested in what went into creating this space, you shouldn’t be surprised to learn that it all stems directly from my brand and packaging materials. One way to know if your branding is working for you is to see how well it translates into a variety of uses, purposes and spaces.

I initially planned to create a “living room” scene with a sofa and large-screen display. After a great deal of trial-and-error, I came to realize the space was just too small to provide ample room for a couch.

“Plan B” evolved into pairing down the furniture to absolute essentials—a table and seating. Using a bench on one side of the table offered enough seating for clients without filling the room with excess chairs and keeps the visual appeal of the space tight and tidy.

The room divider filled with images creates a small entryway, accented by a stool showcasing the circle emblem of my logo. (I personally love this touch!) Most of all, I intentionally filled the space with gallery wraps, large prints and sample albums, giving clients the ability to really envision ways they can make use of their own images.

Sarah Parisi’s design space has also been featured recently on Design Aglow’s “inside real studios” feature. You can also see her Paperie Boutique packaging and marketing feature here. Thanks again for sharing with the class, Sarah!

Lindsay Alexander Photography

Hi, I’m Lindsay – a lifestyle and wedding photographer based in Fort Mill, South Carolina. After four years of business, I knew that I was ready for a change. When you own your own business and YOUR NAME is at the forefront of what you do, you want your product to be TRUE to who YOU are! Yes, I loved my old look . . . it was me THEN. I just wanted my new look to be ME NOW! I wanted everything to speak to the heart of why it is that I have this business in the first place and it took time and development as an artist and business owner to know that.

(Please click on each of the photographs below for a larger pop-up version. And visit Lindsay’s “Welcome Packet” post on her blog for a detailed explanation of each of the photos you see here.)

I decided to jump head first into a complete overhaul and re-brand of my business which was unveiled in April. (You can read all about the process here.) It was a four month journey from start to finish that included a new logo, rebuilding a new website and blog, new products, a business video, new processes (from a business side), new opportunities for my clients, new marketing and NEW packaging.

It was a TON of hard work and many late nights of decision making. In the end, I am so happy with the final outcome and a “look” that truly reflects who I am and what my business is all about.

One of the most fun parts of the re-brand was designing my new marketing and packaging. When I began to envision my custom packaging I knew that I wanted everything to have a very personal touch. With so many things manufactured these days, there is something about holding something someone MADE and personalized in your hands that always feels, I dunno, warm and inviting.

I wanted packaging that looked like me and spoke to the heart of the details that I care so much about. I also wanted everything to coordinate, feel organic and have a purpose. I found ways to implement my signature metallic gold, black, white, kraft and my fun chevron print as the bones of my design. I then worked to create something that was beautiful, meaningful and practical for my clients.

    Here is the vendor information for the photos and products shown above:

    on their new high-quality thick stock. I love them! I hand-painted
    the edges myself. LOVE how they turned out!

2. My postcards were designed by me and ordered from VistaPrint -
    their standard postcards. Practical and perfect for their purpose.
    They are lots of fun to send!

3. My small treat bags for my little clients along with my larger
    muslin bags are from Celestial Gifts.

4. My stamps were designed by me and ordered through
    RubberStamps.net.

5. My vertical hang-tags are basically vertical business cards with
    my image on the front and basic info on the back. They are a linen
    texture from VistaPrint.

6. My kraft DVD sleeves are from ReBinder. I have used them all
    four years of my business and just love them. They look great,
    work great and are RECYCLED materials. The best part!

7. My gold and white twine is from The Twinery.

8. Both trifolds were designed by me and were printed through
    WHCC on their watercolor paper. I LOVE the quality and feel
    of these. They are really beautiful.

    go on sale (which they always do), I stock up! Inside are
    usually prints that are inserted into bags with backing board
    from ClearBags.com.

     them for my boxes for four years. The quality is GREAT and I
