Creative Opinion

Talking about ideas and plans for this year to drum up business, I thought it'd be interesting to ask this month's creative opinion.

What are you doing differently this year than you have in the past? (As far as marketing, approaching new clients, approaching existing clients who have had to cut budgets, etc.)

Creative Opinion

Keeping pace with a few of last weeks posts:

The consensus I've been hearing is that people are slowing up and stock is the word of the month (if not the next few months).

Through my blog and portfolio meetings I've been asked the question:
Do you search photographer and rep sites for stock?
And if so what do you think the benefits are as opposed to the larger stock houses?

As artists and reps, are you seeing the same thing? how are you adjusting/what are you offering?

I'd love to share (anonymously) any feedback people are willing to contribute on this subject to pass the information and thoughts to others.

I already have some feedback from fellow art buyers but would like to hear from all sides.

You can email me here or post a comment.

Creative Opinion

Trying to make this idea a monthly discussion on the blog.
You have the option of leaving a comment but you can also email your opinions to me (here) and I can post them in an anonymous manner. Depending on the amount of feedback I'll post answers next week or the week after.

Here is this month's question:
What do you wish/think art buyers or photo editors can improve upon? (whether it's regarding feedback, working on projects, responding to calls, etc. etc.)


Candid and honest answers are always appreciated focusing on positive and negative but still professionally appropriate.

Creative Opinions

I thought I would try something new for the blog. It's perpetually a work in progress and I'm always looking for new things to discuss.

I wanted to try and pose a question to all who read this and post the responses in a forum manner. You have the option of leaving a comment but I thought it better to have opinions emailed to me (here) and I can post them in an anonymous manner but format it somewhat.

Here's the trial question to you all:
In terms of client relationships (whether it is with an agency or a direct client), what do you feel are key factors or ingredients to a good partnership?
