Photographers, Maximise Your Profits

Change your processes to maximise your profits.
James Howard, founder of the successful “Vale Imaging” talks about how technical advancement has necessitated the introduction of business process reengineering (BPR).

In these hard times all of us are keen to save money any way we can. Many photographers go to drastic measures to reduce their costs or increase their profits, but few think to look at the business process & structure they have built up around them.

In a service industry there are essentially three main ways you can increase your profitability:

Work More Hours
There are only so many hours in a day – once you are working to capacity there is nothing more you can do.

Increase your prices
You run the risk of driving away your core client base. It is harder to find new clients than it is to keep hold of existing ones.

Maximise your productivity
If it takes you three days or three hours to edit a wedding you still get paid the same amount for the work. If it is done in three hours though, you are automatically increasing your productivity by 800%.

This seminar is a hands-on interactive workshop designed to stimulate a change in the way photographers think about their business methods.
