i hear ya on the FREE word. if this company is legit and we were bought out, i really hope that we see some marketing changes that really does compete with other studios. i really hope free items and the one pose package get thrown out and someone with half a brain in marketing knows that free and 12.99 doesn't make money.
hopefully you and your associates have nothing to worry about. i will keep my fingers crossed. i am pretty sure the average ticket they will be looking at is for the whole year and not a 4 week running. fingers crossed because i could be gone to. we've been in the red for some time now and only had a few green weeks during christmas. we'll see what happens i guess.
edit to the below: I don't want my VIP and PPC customers sound like cheap jerks, most just happen to have the spare time but not the spare cash. Most of em are all very nice and some even come back, and boy do I smooze the ones that buy. MOP is a awesome solution for the customers who love the photos but can't buy that day. I wish I could see who my MOP customers are, I bet some are my $0 sits.
Ill be surprised to see these letters. Id say my studio is probably average we do about 10 to 20 sits a week if lucky. Lot of them are regulars who just get there free stuff. Been in the Red for a while as well. We have 2 walmarts and One sears as well. Sears gets the sessions and Walmart gets most if the passports. Definitely need to see some changes and marketing if this "new" company wants to stay a float. Fingers crossed for all of you.
