New Iphone Swiper for photographers

For those of you that have to have a swiper solution on the go we have finally brokered a deal for you. Buy the Iphone Swiper Here and contact us to get you set up.

This is a real processing account with all the benefits and safety of a traditional credit card processing account. Square is not such a solution. Square is not a true credit card processing platform, its made for individuals running garage sales, not businesses that need the benefits of accounts made for business.

Reasons not to go with the square.

Helping photographers grow their businesses really gives me a lot of satisfaction.  What they do for their clients is important and making sure they are being taken care of by giving them great rates and customer service helps them in their job.

Here are just a few of our clients, out of the hundreds that we have gained over the years.

Dont Fall for the 1 Rate promise Get the Facts

I talked with a “Well Known” photographer around June of 2009.  We talked about what I could offer as far as rates.  For many photographers cost plus pricing can be a little more compilicated, but once you understand it, it becomes obvious why we offer this kind of pricing.  You get a much better deal!  This photographer was promised one rate flat.  You cant get any easier to understand 1 rate, but the fact is they were lied to.  There is more than 1 rate. This photographer unfortunately took this processor at his word and was lied to.  The problem is they are now locked into a 3 year agreement with the processor and are paying in many instances double.  It happens a lot because many credit card processing company’s lie to get the deal.

If you see any of the following you might want to read more:

1.  Contracts-  If a processor is giving you a good deal on rates they wont have you sign a contract.  They know you will stay around when you get great customer service and the best rates.

2.  Monthly Minimum Charges-  Processors know smaller/home based business may have months where they do not charge the minimum amount.  They then have a fee for not reaching it that is charged to you.

3. Cancellation Fee-  Many processors have a 250-500 dollar cancellation fee to dissuade you from leaving

Photography Merchant Systems charges has No Contracts, No Cancellation Fee, and No Monthly Minimums.

Plane Flight Booked for WPPI Las Vegas 2010

I just wanted to put a note on here for those of you who will be at WPPI 2010.  I have made some time available again to meet with those of you who would like to bring statements and see if I can save you some money on your credit card processing.  I am looking forward to hanging out with you guys and know this year is going to be even more fun than last year.  

You can also catch me at Andy and Angie Woods Platform Class on Tuesday at 6:30.  I will be at a table in the back with more information on credit card processing for photographers.  I know its going to be a great class with lots of tips on how to get a better web presence.   

 

PPA Professional Photographers Of Colorado

I was invited to speak at PPOFC Professional Photographers of Colorado about credit card processing.  I discussed Tiered Pricing vs.  Cost Plus pricing which we use.  I also talked about the best places to get credit card processing.  Many merchants and photographers still believe they will get the best deal from their bank.  In reality this is the worst place to get a merchant account. When a merchant contacts us for a free quote and mentions they are with a major bank, we know that we are going to be able to save the merchant money. We talked about some of the solutions that photographers are often using in there businesses including using Contact Management Systems Like ShootQ.  

I had a great time meeting many of you and look forward to talking with you in the coming week.

Well the teams are set and the bets have been laid out.  Can’t wait to have some fun with the guys and gals from ShootQ.  Nashville is going to be a lot of fun.  Looks like some pretty tough competition from the photography world at this event.  I can’t wait to meet those of you that are signed up with us through Shootq and those that are thinking about signing up with us for credit card processing.
