| | Graphistudio
Graphistudio was founded in 1981 as a small graphic and photographic advertising studio. In 1987, as a result of the enlargement and diversification of the company, it expanded into the wedding photography market. The idea was to offer newly weds a photographic album using the latest creative graphic techniques. The concept was an immediate success as it was to the traditional wedding photography environment. Soon the Adamo Creazioni brand service became known throughout the Venetian region and became the preferred choice of thousands of newly weds. To cope with this demand and to achieve more ambitious growth targets for larger markets, a new digital production solution called informatics was used.

Productive IT will be demonstrating their market leading software, The Photographic Organiser (TPO), at the road show.
Hoss Mahdavi FBIPP, FMPA, QEP says, "We have been using TPO for 12 years and couldn't be without it. Using the correct program to manage your business is even more important than using the best camera. TPO is as important as Photoshop". With great ease of use, yet sophisticated functionality, it allows you to concentrate on what you do best - photography, and allows you to run your business, rather then letting your business run you!
TPO helps to manage contacts, task reminders, job tracking, diary, viewings, accounts, VAT, marketing, analysis, easy mail merging, email, wedding contracts, birthday promotions, text messaging and much more in one easy to use, completely integrated package.
Recognise any of the following: Client list in Excel? Letters in Word? Diary on paper? Accounts in a mess? Data duplicated all over the place? Unable to easily run a promotional campaign? Shouldn't mail merging be a simple operation? Unable to analyse or categorise your clients? Need a quick report on sales by promotions for the last year? Then you need TPO!
Also used by Philip Stewart, Mark Nixon, Keith Thompson, Henk van Kooten, Click Studios, Mark Swinford and over 500 more studios... If you want to grow your photography business, come and talk to us today!
Chaim Bacon, director of Productive IT will also be giving a free seminar full of sales and marketing tips from 5.00pm - 5.45pm.
