So... Winter is here... well when it snows to me it is officially winter. I hear Thanksgiving is suppose to be nice & warm though. Which bums my son out who was sledding down the hill all day Saturday and wanting MORE snow.
This past weekend was the big Birthday weekend at our house. I turned 29 (again) on Friday (LOL), and our twins turned 4! Where has the time gone? We took the girls yesterday to get their ears pierced and it went very well! Only cried for a few minutes afterwards, then when they saw themselves in the mirror, the tears stopped & they were showing off!
I am currently preparing for the wedding showcase! I started the Buffalo Area Wedding Showcase years ago when I got sick of the feeling I was simply a number to brides who attended the shows. I wanted to have a show that was different, and more exclusive. And coming into our 6th year, I have other fellow photographers often upset they cannot participate. I feel bad, but that was the whole point of this show. We set limits on ALL vendors so that no other business has to feel like they are simply handing out a resume, or their price list to the brides. This means much better networking with fellow businesses and allows more for one-on-one mini consults right at the show for all the vendors. Our photographers are the first to book up, and then as a participant they get first dibs on coming back as a participant to the next show before we allow any new business... and most of the vendors we get do return. It is also nice for the brides too, as many of us who do the show also work together in creating big discounts working with each other so the more a bride books of the businesses who participated in the showcase, the better deal they'll get from EACH of the businesses. A win-win for all!
So for our booth I am trying to think of something just different.... Accepting any ideas! :)
We have been getting inquiries from brides who have been referred by former clients, so that is AWESOME to hear! Three since Halloween! We must be doing something right! LOL!!
So much to do & never enough hours in the day. Happy Thanksgiving to you all.
I Thank God for my family, and for having fellow clientele like you! Have a wonderful week!
