Sales Tip

We all have our calendars in front of us and are planning for the months ahead. That's what I was doing last week when it dawned on me that, just maybe I should take a good look at the days and even the hours ahead.

Many of the world's most successful corporations know that they must rely on their suppliers to provide the services and expertise needed to attain their goals, and a more pleasurable way of life. What do your plans hold so far? Is there more time for family, hobbies, and other pleasures to be enjoyed with greater profits from your business or just more hours at your computer?

If your lab is not making available the products, services, and expertise you need to grow, prosper, and live a better life, then you should discuss your needs with them or consider a change to, or greater reliance on Mid-South Color Labs.

Call us, let us help.

Call Jim Swoap for help or send him an email.

   

 

Studio Display Special Continues

Our Display Print Special is now underway and now is the perfect time to replace your studio wall samples.  From now through March 31, 2006, studio samples will earn a 30% discount, including mounting and finishing.  Just mark your orders "Display Special".  This offer applies to 16x20 and larger prints.  View details.

New Ideas To Build Your Business      

 Here are two ideas to build your business:  Digital Albums and Website Design and Hosting.  

Using WorkStream templates, you can create a wedding album or coffee table book, upload the images and we will send you a completed album, embossed, if you choose.  Available in two styles, two colors and in 10x10, 8x8 and 5x5 sizes.  This service saves you time, money and eliminates the need for remakes due to accidents in mounting prints.  Complete details are on our website.  

A presence on the Internet is of crucial importance to your business today.  So, to help you have the kind of presence your studio needs, we are now offering website design and hosting...every thing you need to be on the Internet.   We have teamed with a local web designer and an Internet hosting company to provide you creative designs and stable hosting at  very reasonable costs.  Click here for all the details and to get started.  (Available to lab clients only)

Online University:  Internet Marketing

The next scheduled course on the Online University will be "How to Market Your Studio on The Internet".  This is a most timely subject and will give you ideas on how to look more professional and increase your reach.   New courses are posted weekly so check our Course Schedule often.  Complete details about  Mid-South's new Online University are on our website.  If you would like to suggest topics or express a preference of day and time, now is the time to do so.
New Version of WorkStream Software  

Version 2.4a is now available for download.  In most cases, WorkStream will automatically update to this new version.  It contains several enhancements and improvements, including elimination of the registration process and FTP resume in case of broken Internet connections.  You may also download here.
New Features For Online Proofing
  

Multiple Home Pages:  Now you can create a home page for portraits, weddings, etc., to match the images that you post.  Allows you to promote and sell more effectively.

Default settings:  Now you can establish defaults for all events to save time and work when creating new events.  These new features are available on your Studio Manager web page.  Click to see full details on Online Proofing.

New FTP Client Software  

If you have been using our InternetDropBox to place orders via FTP, you should now download new software that installs on your desktop and allows you to drag and drop files, complete an order form and send your files without any other FTP program.  You will receive an E-mail confirmation within 15 minutes of transfer completion.  This program is faster and safer than the InternetDropBox.  Versions are available for Windows and Mac operating systems.  If you are using a PC, WorkStream software is strongly recommended.  You may continue to use the InternetDropBox to upload and place images through your Internet browser.

Online News

 Our goals are to keep you up-to-date on important lab issues and to provide tips and sales ideas.   If you have suggestions for this monthly publication, please let us know.  Thanks for your business.
