Let's Celebrate the NEW Go4Pro SHOP!

If you thought I hadn't noticed, oh - I had!! I was getting emails asking if I do logo designs, how to get the custom kit and trying to figure out how to pay... So it's safe to say, it was a little confusing for you and well, we're not about confusing here, we're about clarifying! So I decided I'd better come up with a better way... Now you can find all the designs (for sale & free) in one easy place! Go4ProPhotosShop!

I've been wanting to do this for a while however time (oh how time and I are always butting heads!!) time was not allowing it BUT thanks to Kathy (aka: Mrs Soup) we were able to make it happen. Seriously I have the best readers, we really are here to help each other and I want you to know that I feel the help coming this way too. Through your comments, through encouraging emails, through offers to help and write guest posts and give ideas... Through your efforts to help me spread the word about Go4Pro!! I feel it! Kathy offered her help after 'anonymous' left the comment way back. What a blessing in disguise because thats when (and why) she offered to start editing all my posts (she's not editing this one - so if you see typos, you know why) and has been doing a fantastic job with no compensation at all ever since. From that offer a friendship has grown and it turns out that we both live in Portland, I'm so excited to tell you that she is now my new studio manager and the brains behind getting The Shop ready for it's opening! 

Oh, yes - this is there for you to grab and put up on your blog!

NEW iPhone Case Templates!!!

I am so excited to finally be sharing the new iPhone templates with you on Go{4}Pro. I got started by designing and personalizing my own iPhone case. I'd been wanting and needing one for a while but hadn't found one that was a great reflection of me, until this! Next I launched the iPhone cases on Leah Remillet Photography with my April newsletter. Needless to say, they are a huge hit! Carrying a roll out of wallet sized pictures is old school, now all your clients have to do is flip over their iPhone and they can show off their favorite people!


There are several key components that I feel have directly affected the amount of client referrals I receive. One very critical component of my referal strategy is making sure my clients have something to show! These iPhone cases couldn't make that any more effortless! Ummm, yes! I'm introducing the iPhone templates as the most brilliant and easy marketing idea ever! Here's what happens; (and it's happened to me with my own phone dozens of times already).


stranger: Wow, that is such a cool case! Where did you get it?
Client: Thanks! Actually my photographer makes them. This is our most recent family picture we had done with her! ... She is the best, let me give you her card, you are going to LOVE her!


Okay, so I may have over ad-libbed for the client just a little but you know what I'm getting at! The iPhone templates give my clients a great reason to talk about me, and they will do the same thing for you too!! 


Tip: Because I see the iPhone templates as such a fabulous marketing opportunity, I sell the cases at my cost ($39 + shipping). If my client has an iPhone I want to make sure I get one of these cases on it!! Plus the quality of these cases are fantastic!! Seriously some of the best, most well made iPhone cases I've seen so that makes it that much easier to sell them!

All templates were created using CS4. If you have had trouble with the free downloads, I can not guarantee that you will be able to use these templates.
