Where does the time go?

OK, so, I have been thinking about my blog lately. I was so excited to start it up last spring and then I have completely neglected it. The summer flew by with a record number of seniors. It was fabulous and exhausting! The winter came and went in what seemed like a blink and here we are preparing for the Class of 2011. I have set a small (hopefully manageable) goal to start with. Over the next couple weeks I will post some of my favorite images from the Class of 2010. Spring break is next week. Seems like a good time to start blogging!

Class of 2010
Senior Ambassador Program

So, what is an ambassador? You would be a representative for our photography studio. We are offering you a great deal in return for your word of mouth advertising. Your session will be held early in the season so that you can spread the word about your photography experience at our studio. We ask our ambassadors to show their proof book to at least 20 different potential clients. Examples are: your friends from school or classmates, people you work with, people your parents work with, people from church, neighbors, family friends, friends you have met through sports or other activities, etc.

1. FREE session! We have designed a special session just for our ambassadors. These sessions will take place from April 15th - May 15th. This session includes poses taken in the studio, at Hester Park and downtown St. Cloud. Since I will be photographing you for approximately 2 hours, I encourage you to bring lots of outfit changes and personal props. You will have about 75 proofs to make your print selections from. This session has a $125 value and is yours free! A planning session is required to discuss outfits, backdrops, etc.

2. Referral bonus
We appreciate referrals!

For each person you refer you will receive 16 free wallets. Your referral will receive 16 free wallets too! That amounts to a $28 savings for each of you. This offer is UNLIMITED! Since ambassador sessions are held early in the season, you have a great opportunity to share your experience with lots of other seniors. You can also refer children and families or wedding clients to receive the bonus wallets. To count as a referral the client has had to complete their session and has not been a client of ours in the past. Referral wallets are only available to one person – so basically, your group of friends can’t all refer each other for 6 sets each.

Special incentive only for ambassadors! When you refer 5 new clients, you will receive a FREE 5x30 framed composite of 6 of your favorite senior images. $150 value!

3. You are also eligible for our regular bonus items.

4. Client Appreciation
Thank you for your business!

All of our seniors will receive a free family session to be used within the next year. This offer includes the session fee for your immediate family members and a free 8x10.
