PPGNY was a great meeting for many reasons...

One being that I sat at a table with 6 other photographers – some in business for a long time, others just starting out. It was so nice listening to the “old timers” giving advice to the newcomers. It always amazes me how friendly and helpful photographers are. Why not help someone else not make the same mistakes, especially now when we face changes everyday in our business.

Secondly: They asked me to sell the raffle tickets. They really tested my skills that night! They usually have a decent prize, but that night no one was thrilled with the $50.00 worth of scratch offs. I was supposed to sell raffles at 2 for $5, or 5 for $10, or 12 for $20. Instead I just walked around saying, “I need $20.00” and it worked. I sold lots of raffles!



The third and best experience of the night: As I was at one of the tables collecting money a photographer named George said “I have to tell you how awesome your company is.” So he began to tell me that in October of last year he ordered some product from another company and by the week before Christmas he still hadn’t received the order. He called the other company and wasn’t able to get an answer as to when he would receive the merchandise. He then called Albums Inc., spoke to one of the great customer service reps, and placed his order. He received it in two days and was able to deliver it to his customer on Christmas Eve! I get to hear stories like this all the time. The customer service, the imprint, the shipping departments at Albums Inc. are incredible Those who have been a customer for a long time already know this, but to the new customers or the customers that are considering Albums Inc., you will never get better customer service and respect from another company. I can promise you that.

Currently I am helping the Long Island School fill their classes with students. Come join us in Long Island! They have great speakers lined up. For more information go to www.liphotoworkshop.com

Well, that's all for now. Enjoy this beautiful summer!
