Meeting April 23: Local Estimating and Pricing Seminar

Friday, April 10th, 2009

Come join us for an honest, hands-on, open discussion with panel on estimating and pricing photo shoots for the “local market”. In addition, we will cover cost of doing business, software options for invoicing and estimating, quoting stock, resources on market value for editorial and commercial shoots. The ASMP website has superb examples of estimates and invoices displaying shoots done throughout the country. We will make these resources fit for our local region. We’re focusing on 3 types of shoots, editorial, corporate and advertising. From small to large budgets. We’ll discuss production options vital to the estimating process.

Are you asking the right questions when a photo buyer calls with a new shoot?

Do you feel comfortable negotiating and estimating jobs?

Does usage seem to be a great hurdle?

How do we negotiate the rising demand for web usage, sometimes in  place of print?

Are you tired of the constant “buyout” requests? What are the best methods to working these requests?

When: April 23, 5:30PM social, 6:00PM start. Finish at 8:00PM

Where: Coleman Community Center, 384 Thompson Lane at Nolensville Rd. 37211, (center phone 862-3448)
