Photography Question

Looking for statuettes?


Hello! I am trying to get some input on what you photographers look for in a statuette maker? Do many of you offer them?
I am the owner of Photo Inspirations and we work with photographers. We manufacture statuettes,magnets and ornaments and have been around for over 15 years. I have always gained business by word of mouth, but am now getting ready to do a little ad campaign and would like some feedback on ways of gaining a photographers' business.
Thank you in advance for any and all replies.

  Not yet. I have looked at locking in a domain name,but someone has taken my business name.com. I am going to be meeting with a business consultant (that is also a photographer/customer) about doing a photo spread of statuette samples to create a mailer and possibly a basic website.
I have gained all my new customers over the years by word of mouth, but would like to increase my business a little faster now.

  The only thing I have ever mailed is a price list and order form. I am working on a mailer to show some samples, but a catalog is not needed as there are not hundreds of items that I make/sell. I make statuettes, magnets and ornaments from pictures supplied by my photographers. I can email a picture of some samples I have if you are interested, or you can mail me an 8x10 and I will make a sample for you. FYI, I sell 8x10's on wood for $8.50 and on PVC (Duralight) for $11.00. Cut-out magnets and ornaments are $5.00.
