Dg Foto Art a hit at SWPP - Prices reduced too!SWPP – Good news for Wedding Album Makers

We were pretty busy at SWPP. Bal Basra of Focus Studio and I were working with Bhaskar Dewal on the PXLSoft stand at SWPP.

We had a good number of visitors. Some Essentia users upgraded to Gold. Some had seen Dg Foto Art and went away with their own copy. Others saw it for the first time. Others were happy users and they had brought their friends to see it. One established Enterprise user bought five copies of Gold.

Bhaskar discussed setting up a series of seminars – “How to make Better Photo Albums” – this is designed to give you the tips to make your albums stand out from the competition. More satisfied customers – more business. If you are interested in attending a seminar – or feel that you would like to present at one please let me know.

Also some good news. PXLsoft adjusted the price of DgFoto Art to reflect the currency when its Christmas offer expired. The result would have been that Dg Foto Art Gold would have gone from £299 to £449 and Essentia £69 to £99. We have negotiated a deal with PXLsoft such that we are able to offer Gold for £397 and Essentia for £79. This is comparable to the pre-Christmas price.

With the current economic situation you need every tool you can get to maintain a competitive advantage. For photographers this is even more important – amateurs are turning to photography when they lose their jobs and are competing with you. Album quality is an area where you want to keep an edge.

You can show prospective clients the difference!
