Your calendar
should now be full with back to back promotions, but take one more
look and make sure you have included every professional group you
can think of: doctors, ministers, dentists, school administrators,
accountants, bankers, etc.
Start with those you use. Send a personal letter to their home inviting them to sit for a studio display portrait. If you have a recent image file, just use it. Tell your subject that the print will be for sale at a reduced price when you replace your display prints. These displays do not have to be expensive, show what you sell most, just a little larger.
While
your display prints are still heavily discounted from Mid-South,
make sure you have considered studio displays for your planned
promotions.

Last Call for Studio Display Special If you don't show it, you won't sell it. Experts will tell you that new samples on your studio walls are a must. Here is where we come in. Our Display Print Special
will continue through the end of March and so now is
the perfect time to replace your studio wall samples. 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.

Painter Portraits This special portrait is created digitally and is enhanced by "brush stroking" the entire portrait to produce a look that rivals hand-painted portraits. Although in-studio, low key images are best suited for this service, most any image can be done successfully. The more complex the clothing and background, the more time required to paint the portrait. Each portrait is unique and we suggest a test print before printing the final. This portrait is greatly enhanced when applied to canvas or printed directly onto canvas on our Giclée printer. Click here to see an enlarged before and after. We will be happy to evaluate your image and give a quote or an opinion as to suitability for this look. Online University: Selling and Creating DVD's The next scheduled course on the
Online University will be "Selling and Creating DVD's". This is a
hot topic as more and more clients are asking for a DVD of their images
and the senior market is demanding it. It also is the trend in
presenting senior proofs. The course will be taught by Darrell Ivy,
who has been offering this service for some time. New courses are posted
frequently so check our Course
Schedule often. Complete details about Mid-South's
Online University
are on our
website. If you would like to suggest topics
or express a preference
of day and time, please do so.
Giclée printmaking provides an option to printing on standard photographic paper. Giclée prints add character and dimension unique to fine arts and offer you a more expensive and profitable line of prints. This process also compares favorably to fiber base B&W printing.
