Full Version: Idea from a Non-Wedding Photographer

I had an idea for youall -- I hope it's worth the time to investigate since I can't benefit from it.

Wouldn't you love to market yourself in such a way that a few times an hour people were reminded of the photos you took of their wedding?? Wouldn't you love to give your clients a way to see photos from their wedding (say your best 3-5) while on their honeymoon? Why not add the functionality of cameraphone wallpapers into your business packages??? I've seen TV adds for scantily clad women sitting on the hoods of musclecars being sold to customers: all you need to do is call a certain number and type in a specific code to get photos downloaded to your cameraphones.

Now its one step simpler, and that technology can be used for something worthwile! Check out these links if interested (don't have any clue which one is better and I'm sure there are many other businesses doing this, also):

(Start an account, host your best photos, send them to the Groom, Bride, and their family's phones. Maybe include 3-5 photos to 2 phones (bride/groom) in each package, with an option to buy more for Mom, Dad, Mom2, Dad2, brother, Sister, etc. ??)

Great idea. I will look into it if I ever get some senior packages. You know the high schoolers would love that.

Definitely!

Camera phones are one of many new emerging technologies atm. They're becoming more and more commonplace as manufacturers phase out their old, non-photo phones. I'm guessing many older adults wouldn't use this service, but that will change over time. In the meantime, anyone with a semi-modern phone can use it right away -- and soon this will be the standard.

Might want to get in now, before it blows up??

It sounds like I'm trying to sell youall on this (heh). Maybe I should go buy stock and THEN post??

or maybe try it out first, then let us know the results. thumbsup.gif

Well, sadly I have nothing to try it out on! sad.gif

I truly hope someone on the forum will find it a nice value-added addition to their already-wonderful Wedding/Engagement/Senior Portrait packages smile.gif
