SANTA MONICA, CALIF., April 8, 2005 - Eventpix.com, the imaging industry's premier online event and proofing service, launches two-pronged sales support for members.
Eventpix is partnering in Bride's, Modern Bride and Elegant Bride magazines' Platinum Privileges Program, designed to support bridal consumers as they make those all-important quality buying decisions.
The promotion, through "VIP Awards," directs the bridal consumer through the three magazines' websites directly to the Eventpix "Platinum Studios" online searchable photographer list. Participating Eventpix members will offer brides and grooms a complimentary 30-minute engagement photo session, and one 8x10 print - a unique interactive sales opportunity.
"Participating photographers will be unmistakably linked to the premier bridal magazines in the country," says Eventpix president Jackie Applebaum, "What a powerful way to connect with consumers who are on the shopping spree of their lives!"
Bride's, Modern Bride and Elegant Bride are advertising the promotion in March through December issues of the magazines, as well as on their websites. Photographers must be Eventpix members to participate, and can easily sign up at eventpix.com. Brides can locate and find a photographer via telephone area code at www.eventpix.com/platinum/bride/find.taf.
Eventpix continues to gain market attention through its latest Member Bonus - The Internet Success Package, offered through Marathon Press. This complimentary ($61 value) marketing kit is available to existing and new Eventpix members, and is designed to direct consumers to events to locate, view and purchase wedding day images.
According to Applebaum, it's promotions like this one that give professionals that all-important exposure in a competitive marketplace. "Eventpix partners with highly successful companies to offer key sales advantages to our members. That's the Eventpix edge," she says. "With these marketing boosts, photographers will find it easier to find qualified clients."
Given as a gift to the wedding client, the elegant marketing kit puts the photographer's studio name, phone number and website in the hands of potential customers. The gift for a 200-guest wedding includes: 200 elegant Photo Book Marks, 100 5x5 table top cards imprinted with a personalized Thank You from the bride and groom and a date and website for viewing images, and 40 E-mail Registration sheets so guests may sign up to be contacted when the proofs are ready for viewing. Each piece is personalized with the couple's engagement photo.
