After two weeks on the road (four for the PJ guys) – some of our team were a little worse for wear when they got back. Long hours, foreign bugs and a huge amount of travel, but they’re safe and sound, and they really enjoyed the opportunity to catch up with you.

It was a successful time at both WPPI and FOCUS and I’m sure you’ll hear plenty of stories in the coming weeks, but let’s start by announcing some winners!

Everyone who signed up with Queensberry at either show went into the daily draw to win their Starter Kit free. All up we had 7 winners, so here they are:

WPPI

Monday: Trina Knudsen Photographer
Tuesday: Gerald Pope Photography
Wednesday: Gloria Mesa Photography

FOCUS

Sunday: Trevor Robertson Photography
Monday: JKA Photography
Tuesday: Emma Sanderson Photography
Wednesday: Martin Bolger

In the evenings at WPPI we also held ‘Getting Started’ workshops in the Queensberry suite – all those who attended went into the draw to win 25% discount of their first full order. The winners were:

Seminar 1: Capture the Love
Seminar 2: True Photography

Congratulations to all our winners – your Account Managers will be in touch shortly, if they haven’t already.

Cheers, Nigel

Let’s be different together

We’re not so different to you.

I talked to a photographer who was at WPPI and he said, “More album manufacturers, less people attending.”

You must hear that every day. “More photographers entering the market, less brides to go around”.

A statement like that makes you realise how important what you’re offering is. And how you’re doing it. So I asked him how other album companies compared to Queensberry – anyone getting close?

Nope. Everyone is going the other way. Cheaper albums and faster turn-around times.

That makes us feel pretty good, because we know the trade-off. We’re not cheap and we’re not as fast as a machine-made product. But that’s what lets us be different. It’s who we are – and that’s key right now.

More of the same isn’t going to get anyone anywhere in these tough times, so why follow the Piper? Let’s be ourselves. Let’s be different together.

Cheers, Nigel
