LENSPROTOGO LAUNCHES FREE iOS APPLICATION

posted in New Features and Improvements

Thursday, November 29, 2012

Our friends at LensProToGo have just launched their brand new iOS APP.  It’s FREE.  It’s AWESOME and we want you to know about it!

Consumers can now rent photo and video equipment from their phone!

LensProToGo, one of the nation’s largest camera, lens, and DSLR video equipment rental companies, today announced the release of its free iOS app, which
allows renters to browse and order equipment right from their phone in less than 30 seconds.

The app adds two new features not yet available on the website to make the rental process easier and more efficient. Users can mark select gear as a “Favorite” while browsing over 400 items by brand (featuring an up to date line up from both Canon and Nikon) or type. Favorite items are always quickly accessible in the “Favorites” view so a renter can immediately select gear from their personally created list. Additionally, experienced users will benefit from the new “Quick Add” icon which allows them to add multiple items to their cart instantly, even from their Favorites list, without viewing the items detail page.

If users do want to learn more about a piece of equipment, the app’s item detail page provides photos, descriptions, technical specifications, suggested accessories and even a related item for comparison. Because LensProToGo is staffed entirely by working professional photographers and DSLR filmmakers, their expertise is essential to providing these relevant suggestions. The app also provides links to camera manuals for photographers to view while in the field or on the go. Additionally, customers can access LensProToGo’s social media accounts and blog, as well as find directions to the store.

“The idea for the LensProToGo App came from a desire to make it easier, faster and more convenient for photographers and filmmakers to get the gear they need no matter where they are.” said Paul Friedman, Owner of LensProToGo. “Whether they are on location, waiting in line at the grocery store, or on the side of a mountain renting gear is just a few taps away. From a development standpoint, we wanted to really focus on efficiency. As photographers and filmmakers ourselves, we understand just how precious time can be.”

The new app can be downloaded from the App Store by searching “LensProToGo” or through the following link: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/lensprotogo/id577126746?ls=1&mt=8

posted in Conferences,Education,Inspiration,News,Partners,Photog Industry

Monday, October 29, 2012

As we wrap up our 24 city workshop tour, we wanted to let you know about the educational events we’ll be participating in over the next few months!  We believe in the leaders who have organized these events and we’ll be there in full force at each of them!  Take a peak, see if any work for you, and make sure to stop by our booth and say hi!

Mystic Seminars – January 8-11, 2013

“To me, Mystic is special because it is not just about the seminars, it also puts photographers together as equals.  At many conferences that I attended, there is a division between the teachers and students, unlike Mystic, were we all sit together.  At Mystic, I have not only learned tools to make me a stronger photographer, but I have also made connection that have resulted in being mentored by some of the top photographers in the industry.”

Kristi O. (Past Multi Mystic Seminars Attendee)

Inspire Seminars – February 11-13, 2013

Inspire is a 2 ½ day retreat-style conference for professional wedding and portrait photographers. The event is designed to create an inviting learning experience where education, community and networking are the main focus. The conference is comprised of sessions on a variety of subjects, from business practices to shooting techniques, led by professional photographers from all over the United States with the majority residing in New England and the surrounding areas. Attendees have the opportunity to participate in mentoring round tables, small conference sessions, and one shooting workshop each. All meals are included with conference registration.

WPPI Conference - March 7-14, 2013

WPPI Conference+Expo is the premiere industry event for photographers and image-makers specializing in the creative and business aspects of wedding and portrait photography. Each year, nearly 16,000 professional and aspiring photographers attend WPPI to learn new techniques from industry leaders, build new relationships to grow their business, experience new products and solutions from major manufacturers to improve their productivity, and enjoy the many attractions in Las Vegas. WPPI is a week-long event combining educational seminars with a major industry trade show and networking events, all designed around learning the latest techniques, building new relationships and growing a businesses in a friendly, fun environment – all at one time, in one place.

If you have the time, you won’t regret visting any and/or all of these educational events!  And, well, then there is all the fun that comes along with ;)

Blogging is Dead

posted in Education,News,Photog Industry

Wednesday, October 10, 2012

Today on the Price, Process, Profit Workshop FEATURE, we’re proud to introduce Jeff and Erin Youngren! These two reside and work right in our back yard! They make up the husband/wife duo known as the Youngrens. Their topic on the tour centers around the concept of Blogging is Dead!

Jared’s thoughts on why the Youngrens are joining the tour for 4 cities:

“Jeff and Erin have become go-to resources in the world of client interaction. Their ability to discern the type of client they attract, and clearly replicate this time and time again, is unique. Their topic “Blogging is Dead” is a guide to their client-focused approach.”
