Greetings!
Spring is here and I've been doing some spring cleaning to spruce up my marketing programs, including updating my profile in "Find A Photographer" on PPLAC.com. While I was there, I noticed that only a handful of our members are fully leveraging this wonderful PPLAC resource.
When was the last time you updated your profile on PPLAC.com? Have you uploaded a headshot to personalize your profile? Is your studio information current? Is your website listed? Have you listed the categories of photography that you offer so prospective clients can find you?
If not, you are missing out on a wonderful benefit available exclusively to PPLAC members. Take a few minutes right now to log on to your account at PPLAC.com (scroll to the bottom of the home page and click on the "Login" link). Once you are logged in, click on the "Edit My Profile" link, then click on the "Main" and "Directory" tabs to update your profile information. Don't forget to click on the "Save and Submit" button to publish your new profile and help drive more business your way.
Regards,
Jim Brammer
