When you send away a client, you are giving away a revenue stream.
Today, Popular Print Shops are offering a lot more than prints. This includes everything from shooting headshots in house to charging for uploads and downloads of galleries, individual images, resized images, and countless other tasks. From the time you sent your client away they become their client and from this point on, they are reselling your work as their on the shelf product. Make no mistake; this is Richard Prince territory.
Previously a photographer needed to determine the positives and negatives of handling post process in-house, the time spent by you or billed by an assistant adds up.
- - Is it profitable on a small scale?
- - Is it manageable with a full schedule?
- - Is their growth potential?
- - How long can you expect a great assistant to remain a great assistant?
Yes, Yes, Yes, and not very long. However now you have another option: A full scalable team at your call to back you up when you need it most. So now the only question you must ask yourself is: Over time, will you let your studio grow or will you continue to give away valuable client loyalty?
