Welcome to Lab & Studio Expo 2010!
The theme is "Profit in Imaging" and that is exactly what Lab & Studio Expo is all about, saving and making money for your photographic business despite troubled economic times!
Exhibitors will be lining up their latest professional solutions and industry experts will be there to tell you about business models for Studio Photographers & Photo Retailers that are proven to be successful & to GENERATE MORE REVENUE!
"Usually when I walk into a photo lab, I can never help but notice a multitude of missed money making opportunities! Perhaps that is because I operate a number of successful photo retail stores myself. There are so many ways that photo retailers can make more money for their business but I can never understand why some vendors are perfectly happy with the few crumbs when in fact they can have the larger slice of the pie! For this reason I will be giving away valuable expertise and advice at Lab & Studio Expo, born out of my own experience as a "lab owner" so you don't have to make the same mistakes I made, and the greatest thing is, this advice will cost you nothing!"
Lewis Martindale,
Photomart
"PMA is delighted to support Lab & Studio Expo "Profit in imaging". As our industry changes it is a constant necessity to re-evaluate our businesses, asking the awkward questions of how to retain existing customers and attract new customers, how to approach new ventures, how to evaluate new opportunities. Investments have to be carefully considered in a way that many have never experienced before; yet the opportunities do exist, for our industry is a unique mixture of preserving memories and offering business services. I look forward to seeing you at this and other events."
Nigel McNaught,
PMA International.
