Business Seminar in Los Cabos, Mexico

In today’s economic uncertainty, we have seen one major difference between those photo studios that are growing and those that are declining – and that’s a strong focus on running the studio as a business. Business-minded photographers know that economic uncertainty means business opportunity. At StudioPlus, we’re focused on helping all studio owners succeed, and we encourage all our clients to take up every opportunity they can to improve their business. One of those don’t miss opportunities will be coming up the end of February 2010, after PMA and before WPPI, at the International Portrait Wedding Academy in Los Cabos, Mexico This opportunity will be led by world-renowned photographer and business instructor, Michael Warshall. “Michael Warshall has unbelievable skills to help any photographer develop a successful, thriving, and growing business even in difficult times,” says Matthew Hunt, StudioPlus President and CEO. “Over the past 5 years, I have come to admire Michael’s strong commitment and ability to help studios improve the sales and marketing side of their business, which is the key driver to any successful photo studio.”

Doug joined the StudioPlus team in April 2003 and has made immense contributions to the company and its product line during that time.  Most of all, Doug has made great contributions to many of our clientele by offering them advice, consultation, training, and sometimes just a listening ear.  Doug’s contributions, expertise, and friendship will be sorely missed by us all.
