We had a really great photography commission from Peter Rolfe Estate Agents (http://www.peter-rolfe.com) based in Hayes, Middlesex, on Monday this week.
As well as taking photographs of the property (a beautiful detached house based in Uxbridge, Middlesex - link will be included here soon), we were also asked to pop into their very light and modern office, to meet the team, and take some team photographs. They are a really great bunch of professionals that have some fabulous properties on their website.
We look forward to working with the team at Peter Rolfe again in the future, and thank them for their custom!

It seems like February is the month to hit the advertising budget, and attempt to draw in some new customers!
So we have just signed up to the photographers directory on www.photographers.co.uk
For those who have never used this site before, it is very cool indeed!
Photographers can join the "directory" of photographers, allowing people to find them using searches specified on their speciality or their area.
Photographic type jobs can also be posted, so for instance a company that requires a picture of each member of their staff, for a set budget, or photographers looking for models, can place an advertisement on the site, and wait for the emails to come rolling in!
We are currently keeping a close eye on our google analytics to see how many hits we are receiving from each of the sites that we have signed up to recently, so only time will tell, but its all interesting stuff to monitor, and to discover the most cost-effective route of advertising, and leads to actual customers!

New Year, new challenges!

With the UK crawling out of recession at a snails-pace, its difficult to see where the light at the end of the tunnel may come for many businesses.
Last year was an extremely challenging year for us, due in part to the fact 360º Virtual Tour's are mainly used in the property market; a market that has been severely hit by the recession. High-Street Estate Agents were pulling in the purse strings to keep a tight reign on expenditure, and therefore Virtual Tours were not seen as an "essential", or they were unwilling to "experiment" with them at this time.
I may be biased, but I believe this to be a blinkered view! With properties on their hands that they were unable to sell by traditional means (e.g. the "shop window"), then why shouldn't they try something new, something radical, something that they had not used before, something that has global reach, to see if that can help sell the property?
A leading internet based estate agent recently told us, that they had a property on their database for nearly 2 YEARS, which just wasn't selling. They advised the vendor to place a 360º Virtual Tour on their advertisement, to see if it would create some interest in the property, and the property sold within FOUR WEEKS!
360º Virtual Tours are a useful marketing tool; they give the viewer a bigger-picture of a property than can be achieved from static photographs alone, and they are not as expensive as you might actually think!
We are also diversifying a little. We have recently done some photo shoots for people to be used on "Social Networking Sites", which have been extremely good fun to do; again at the moment, these are extremely inexpensive!
