Trying to start a business. What do you think?

Thanks!

I've got the Nikon P90 for my Camera...takes great photos.

Right now I have a Targus tripod, but will be saving up for a Morfrotto tripod & tripod/camera bag.

 

Hey Seano. Looks good so far. How about something like, "Personally We Care for You" ? or "We Care for You Personally" ?

​

 

Here's a few hints from a fellow photography business owner:

1. Set-up an 8x10 portfolio of your best shots so you can show people
2. Always sign your prints
3. If you have a bunch of really good ones, copyright them, you can copyright a group of photos that way you don't have to pay the fee for each one individually
4. Learn how to mat and frame a photo, that is where the real money is. Most craft stores charge anywhere from $40-$150 just for the labor of matting and framing not to mention any price markup they have.
5. Metallic print finish is definitely the way to go. Check out Nations Photo Lab - Professional Photo Printing & Digital Photo Finishing Online for getting prints.
6. GET A DSLR!

I learned how to mat and frame from my mom and just sold 6 12"x36" prints, matted and framed at around $125 each. It's not that hard to pick up, just takes some patience and a bit of perfectionism to make the corners perfect.

 

How about adding an artistic picture to the business card? Also I noticed spelling errors on your "About" we try to do everything that we can... easily and have...
Good luck with your business.

 

cool, also for some reason I thought you were like 12 tho.

 

lol. Thank you for noticing the spelling errors. After seeing it so many times I am used to what it says and tend not to notice the little things. Though they are what matters the most.

 

haha. Thank you?

 

Spring for your own website, they are cheap and you will look much more presentable, also use google voice and get a "business line" so you dont plaster your private number all over try to pick a font for your name that could double as your logo

 

I like the color scheme you chose . It really stands out. The only thing I would suggest is that you make your name stand out more. The " Artist and Photographer" seem to take over. Maybe you should put your name first and then "Artist and Photographer" below it. Also, on your website you have the statement " a Different Perstpective" you should put this on your card as well.

Go for the 1000 they go fast. Good luck!

 

I was thinking about charging a certain amount plus printing costs for photo-shoots.
