Not replying to John just joined the thread here. It really doesn't make any difference how much her costs are, or if they are accurate. She may as well talk to a wall.
She wasting her time talking to the wrong customer. If she is selling a $3000 wedding, she has to find a $3000 customer. If she is selling a $10,000 wedding, she has to find a $10,000 customer. She's unlikely to find either of those or anyone who can appreciate her work among the bargain hunters on Craigslist. She's also not going to "educate" the bride who is scraping to spend less than $3000-5000 on her entire wedding to spend much on the photography. She has to learn how to find the right customers that can afford and appreciate her work. If there are none in her area, it's time to find a new business. Sorry to be negative, but people don't care what it costs you to do business. gs George Sinos -------------------- [email protected] www.georgesphotos.net plus.georgesinos.com On Sat, Jan 28, 2012 at 12:17 PM, John Francis <[email protected]> wrote: > On Sat, Jan 28, 2012 at 07:19:06AM -0500, Paul Stenquist wrote: >> >> On Jan 27, 2012, at 10:37 PM, David Parsons wrote: >> >> > She is just as off-base as the dude that itemized his gear for a landscape >> > shot. >> > >> > She actually sounds whinier than the CL poster. >> >> Nothing whiny about it.
