Will Queensberry's aim to build their brand amongst brides not turn the brand into a commodity? At the National Wedding Show (London) in October 2009 there was a photographer with a big sign 'cheapest GraphiStudio albums here' (or words to that effect). I think he also might have been offering to 'price match' as well.

It would be such a shame if that started to happen with Queensberry albums.

What's stopping Johannes prospect emailing around other photographers to see who does the cheapest 15×15 black leather album with embossed cover? In her mind, it's the album she wants and it doesn't matter who she gets it from, because Queensberry have done a good job of making their albums desirable.

Obviously we can't be complacent and we should always be thinking of unique and original ways to make ourselves stand out. But I have a niggling feeling that what Queensberry thought would help us out will actually work against us.

What do you think?
