Successful SMS Studios: A Panel Discussion

Do you want to own a growing, profitable studio? Is that a trick question? I'd venture to say everyone would answer yes...and if so, I hope you caught at least part of the “Successful SMS Studios: A Panel Discussion” class on Tuesday.

Eric & Shawna Anundi, Jeff & Allison Rodgers, Prem Mukherjee, Ed Zemba, and Michael & Rebecca Zoumberos...these panelists represented some of the most highly successful studios in 2008. Yes, these are the people you want to hear from! And in this truly interactive class, you were able to do just that.

Now, I have popped in to many of the classes during Imaging USA, but this one took me by surprise (in a good way). There they were, all lined up, photographers who pushed their businesses to the top. And they weren't only giving a scripted program (although that's extremely helpful, too). They also took the time to answer MANY questions from individuals in the audience.

From figuring out the best way to avoid sticker shock in the sales room to increasing the wedding averages and more, the panelists pooled their creative and business minds to give those attendees solution ideas for issues they were facing. But you had to ask!

Keep your fingers crossed that SMS brings back a similar program at Imaging USA 2010—I’ll see you there!
