We're right in the middle of the wedding fayre season and I'm out there with every other photographer competing for business. We're optimistic that we have enough "unique selling points" to make ourselves stand out from the competition, and I'm pleased to say that the bookings we've taken so far are testament to that. This weekend we'll be exhibiting at Thee Wedding Show at Murrayfield Stadium in Edinburgh. It's the first time we've actively looked for business over in the East Coast and I'm pretty excited about it. I'll report back on how it goes - there may even be a wee 2 Minute Movie to accompany it!
If anyone's looking for some last-minute free tickets to the show just let me know and I'll hook you up!
2 Minute Movies: Thee Wedding Show - Edinburgh
Written by Andi Watson on 17 Mar 2011
As I mentioned in a previous Notebook entry, I was exhibiting at Thee Wedding Show at Murrayfield Stadium in Edinburgh last weekend. Overall, despite them spelling my name wrong in my sign, it was a huge success. We took several bookings at the event itself (always a bonus) and have confirmed several more throughout this week.
It's always nice to exhibit alongside other great Scottish photographers and see what they're up to. I'm always surprised at the lack of competitiveness at these exhibitions - the vast majority of photographers are really friendly and happy to chat. All very civilised!
I thought you might be interested in seeing the set-up of our stand and seeing my sales technique in action (!) so I hope you enjoy this 2 Minute Movie. It's pretty shaky stuff, but it'll give you a small insight into the glamourous life of the exhibitor!
