Crazy Tuesday Giveaway

Tuesdays are usually crazy busy for me, but I decided to take a time-out today and create this fun appointment reminder card for your clients. Just customize to fit your branding color and print off 50 or 100 or however many you need. They're good for the next three years, unless you're like me and change your branding at least twice a year!

Enjoy! And please leave a comment to let me know you downloaded the template.

Mundane Monday Give Away

No, the give away is not mundane, but should hopefully help you over the mundane Monday blues! Keep your eyes peeled every day for a different special Monday through Friday.



Today I am giving away these super easy to use web proofing templates. Web proofing templates help you protect your work from being stolen. Proofing text overlays the photo, making it undesirable for anyone to want to steal your work. Simply add your photo and logo and change the background color as you desire.



To receive your free templates, simply leave a comment on my Facebook fanpage and I will send you the download link.

I need your help!

I need to get the word out about my designs, and need your help to do so! So here are some ways you can help:

Refer.
I know people talk. That's why my main way of advertising is word-of-mouth. If you like my templates, don't keep them a secret! Every time you send a new customer my way, you will receive $1 store credit. Also, my biggest talker each month will receive a $10 store credit! So get talking! The more you talk, the more money you will have! Just make sure your friend lets me know who sent them!

How to purchase templates

I'm writing this because it seems there may be some confusion on how to purchase my templates. Do you see the Buy Now button to the right? If you click that, you are taken to a paypal checkout page. You are requested to enter a description of the product and a price.

Unfortunately, until my new site is complete, this is the only checkout option I can give you. So to make things less confusing, if you would like to purchase a template, please email me first (use the Contact Jennifer link to the right), letting me know exactly what you wish to purchase and I will let you know how much the total cost is. Then you can go ahead and click the Buy Now button. Enter your email address in the description and the total I gave you.

I know this is a hassle and inconvenient, but please bear with me, as the new site will have all these issues worked out.

New website coming soon!

I know this blogsite is a bit confusing when it comes to how to purchase templates and such. I am working on a brand new site and it will be finished soon. It will have a store and all kinds of ways that you can earn store credits, as well as a tutorials section to help you work with your templates. Check back soon for more information.

Baby Collections Sneak Peak

Ok, finally, I have a sneak peak of the remaining two baby collections. The collections will soon be complete and ready for purchase.

Update on Baby Collections

I am still working on the final two baby collections. I thought they would be ready by end of week last week, but life seemed to get chaotic and left me no computer time to work on templates. I hope this week is smoother sailing and I can get these done this week!

Keep checking back. I plan to post a preview in a day or two....

Baby Collections are here!!!

I've put my heart and soul into these collections and am ready to share them with you! I really want to give you your money's worth, so my baby collections include not only birth announcements, but also matching storyboards and storysquares, which always seem to be a top seller with our clients.

Also, another thing that's so special about my baby collections is that you're not just receiving three templates. Each template can be customized in a variety of ways. For example, the birth announcement template has three different color schemes (or more if you desire to mix and match), as well as three different ways to layout your photos. This means one template is actually nine (or more) templates.

Just for today, I'm posting up my first collection, the Antique Baby Collection, but two more baby collections are still in progress and should be ready by the end of the week.

Each baby collection will be priced as follows:

Introductory Rate $30 (until May 15th, 2008)
Group Buy (10+) Rate $20 (contact me at creations@jenniferjabbour.com to with your 10+ names for a group buy)
Regular Rate $45

But wait! There's more!!!
Once all three baby collections are complete, you will also have the option to purchase the Bundle of Joy, which is all three collections bundled together for an even greater savings:

Introductory Rate $75 (for 30 days, once available)
Group Buy (10+) Rate $50 (contact me at creations@jenniferjabbour.com to with your 10+ names for a group buy)
Regular Rate $100

If you purchase the Antique Baby Collection now, and wish to purchase the Bundle of Joy when it is available, your investment will be applied to the Bundle of Joy total, so you can still get the great deal, but start enjoying the Antique Baby Collection now!

To purchase the Antique Baby Collection, now:
Paypal creations@jenniferjabbour.com and enter Antique Baby Collection in the notes. If participating in a group buy, please also enter "GB-name of group buy leader" in the notes.

You will receive a link to download your templates via email within 24 hours after payment has been confirmed.

Photography Workshop for Parents

You might think that teaching your clients and potential clients to take better pictures is a huge risk of creating your own competition. I believe that anyone who is meant to be a photographer is going to become a photographer one way or another. But I also believe that everyone should know the basics to taking decent snapshots of their families. And who better to learn these basic tips from than their own family photographer!

I have actually found this to be a great way to market myself. You develop a relationship with your clients before ever booking their session. They meet you in a neutral environment and you quickly establish your credibility as a photographer.

The key is to teach them just the basics - pretty much everything they could figure out on their own if they did the research, but you offer it to them in a nice notebook to reference after the workshop, and you are there to show them real life examples, answer their questions, and clear up any confusion.

By the end of the workshop, they feel confident that their snapshots will improve, but still know who to go to for their next portrait session - YOU! Offer an incentive to book on the spot, and you've got yourself a new client!

What will you get when you purchase the Photography Workshop for Parents?

- Student Workbook (in .doc format for your own customization)
- Powerpoint Presentation
- Instructor notes
- Guidebook (to help you plan your workshop from start to finish)

Special introductory rate is only $100! (regularly $150) Introductory rate good through Dec. 31st, 2007.

I will entertain group buys for 25% off the current rate. Just contact me for more details!
