PPA Professional Photographers Of Colorado

January 18, 2010 – 11:58 am

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.

Uncrop feature - ( Credit Card Processing for Photographers)

September 15, 2009 – 10:41 am

I think the photography community will have fun watching this video. Its unrealistic use of features we use every day as well as made up features we wished we had. I will have to admit this video is a bit geeky but well worth watching. I am a personal fan of the uncrop feature that is used. Wouldn’t that be useful.
