SMUGs' Podcast 1: Why you should attend a trade show even in a bad economy

Join Rocky Bowles, Community Director for SmugMug and George Varanakas, Show Director - WPPI as they discuss reasons why you should attend a trade show even if you feel you don't have the funds to support it.  Questions asked:

• Brief bio on George - you all were dying to know more...
• What do you say to photographers that feel that they cannot afford to attend trade shows?
• How do trade shows add value to a photographer's career?
• How a photographer can make the best use of their time at a tradeshow.
• If a photographer doesn't know about a speaker, what is the best way to learn about that speaker.
• How can a photographer save money while at the show?

SmugMug is all about education.  Although you think you do not have the money to attend a show this year, perhaps take a few days to really think about it.  Do not miss out on a chance to increase sales or just get a boost in self confidence.   You get the ability to meet more people that you can use to lean on when you have questions through out the year.

 

And as always, don’t forget that there is probably a SMUG in your local area.  Check out www.smugmug.com/smugs for more information.
