The Details of Profiting

posted in Company,Education,Inspiration,News,Photog Industry

Thursday, September 13, 2012

Today on the Price, Process, Profit Workshop FEATURE, we’re proud to introduce Sean McLellan!  Sean comes to us from Nashville, TN, and him and his wife Mel make up the husband/wife team that is McLellan Style.  They are also the Founders of Kudize.net, your most trusted wedding referral network.

Here is a few words from our President Jared Bauman, on why he couldn’t wait to have Sean a part of the workshop:

“When it comes to the topic of Profit, no one better matched the description than Sean.  His studio has been one of the most profitable in the industry for the past 5-10 years.  And, his approach to running a business is unique and brilliant.  Sean finds unique ways to profit, in addition to bringing an incredibly solid and and stable business foundation.  His talk on Profit is both incredibly entertaining and incredibly educational.”

Sean’s best Profit tip is to get more referrals! See how to get more utilizing Kudize:

Leeann Marie says Systems are Sexy

First up on our Price, Process, Profit Workshop FEATURE is Leeann Marie!  Leeann is unique in that she’s the only photographer that is speaking on every leg of the tour!

Our President Jared Bauman, on why he asked Leeann to be a part of the workshop:
“Leeann is a perfect compliment to the Price, Process, Profit Workshop, as she’s an absolute wiz at creating systems.  Becoming efficient, creating automation, having a system for your workflow – these things are so essential to running a functional and successful business.  She’s become the systems specialist through her small business consulting, and was the obvious choice for the workshop.”

Need some help with your Systems?  You can contact Leeann at:

ShootDotEdit turns five! – [and, that means birthday presents]

posted in Company,News,Our Customers,Photog Industry

Tuesday, May 1, 2012

Hey everyone – it’s Garrett here :)

I’m writing you because we just celebrated our 5th birthday and I’m looking for suggestions on how to get 5000 photographers from around the world into San Diego for our birthday party… For a couple of hundred bucks?

I know – we couldn’t think of a way either. :)

So, while I’m pretty bummed about missing out on 5000 birthday presents, I hate to have a birthday go by without SOMEONE getting a present… so, I’m gonna give you a couple:

  • HALF-OFF* of our CULL service for the month of May
  • FREE* Overnight Shipping to us, because Fast is Best™

All of this to really say, thank you for making us the first choice for post production. You are why we exist, and we think about that, every single day.

Cheers to no more editing,

Garrett

P.S. Jared wanted me to share with you a preview of the upcoming Price-Process-Profit workshops, that’ll be coming to 24 US cities from May-November.  It’s FREE and you can get your RSVP in before the rest of the world at http://priceprocessprofit.com


*(here’s the fine print) Job minimums for this deal are 1500 images for culling and 500 images for color correction.  For U.S. customer only.

NEW standard turnaround, as fast as 48 HOURS!!!

posted in Company,New Features and Improvements,News,Photog Industry

Thursday, March 8, 2012

When we first opened the ShootDotEdit doors in 2007 (5 years ago), we were on the cutting edge of the post production industry by completing and returning every event within 8-10 business days.  Our professional wedding photographers were jumping up and down, knowing that they would be getting an entire wedding edit returned in that amount of time.  Yep, you read that correctly!  Under 2 weeks, and happy, happy, happy!

Boy-oh-boy, things have changed!  Photography technology has changed.  Wedding pro demands have changed.  Especially when it relates to turnaround times for their brides.  Wedding pros are now experiencing the pressure and expectation of returning images to their couples FAST! And that brings us to today’s long awaited announcement.

Introducing the arrival of our new standard turnaroundas fast as 48 HOURS!!! Now, our “eyes-on-hands-on” custom color correction is returned fast, fast, fast!!!  Faster turnaround makes for happier clients.  Happier clients spend more money.  And faster turnaround equals more profit.  FAST is BEST, and nobody is faster than ShootDotEdit.

ShootDotEdit is the first choice post processing partner for over 5,000 professional wedding photographers, spanning 40 countries.  With determination to best serve the wedding pro, we are inventing proprietary products like the interactive Color Wizard and DotPreview.  And now, with the addition of our as fast as 48 HOUR turnaround, you can be sure that as the demands of your photography business speed up, we’ll be fast enough to support you.

ShootDotEdit is the new standard.  Turnaround as fast as 48 HOURS.  FAST is BEST, and nobody is faster.
