If you’ve been saying to yourself, “I’m going to start on my great idea when the economy picks up.” Your timing is off. Do it now.
MobilePhotoWall – Is taking advantage of the fact that most photographers leave a wedding when the party gets started. He rolls in with a photobooth on steroids. Without the restriction of walls, guests can be very creative as they click the remote to take their own AWESOME photos. Check it out at http://www.MobilePhotoWall.com
Shirk Photography is taking advantage of cheap real estate. “We enjoyed the low overhead of working out of our home, but my props were taking over the house.” said Shirk. He acquired the bank owned building for about 80% off market value. http://www.ShirkPhotography.com
Several photographers have called back about taking advantage of the light box idea sent out in our last newsletter: get a nice light box, and go door to door to small retail businesses and asking if they need any products shot for their marketing materials or website. As a reminder, the idea here is not to get rich from $10-$20 per product, but to get other business stirring, get your face and name in front of people in your town. Heck, you could even create your own lightbox relatively cheap with these instructions: http://www.wikihow.com/Create-an-Inexpensive-Photography-Lightbox.
Bottom Line: Now is a great time to get out and make things happen!
