Kicking Off Convention Season!

Well, it's been a week since SYNC (Senior+Youth National Conference) which only means one thing....we are in full convention mode! We had a great time meeting and talking to many of you about what you are looking for in your backdrops and studio accessories. We're pretty proud of the Denny Manufacturing set up there, too, if we say so ourselves:

Another thing we LOVE about convention season is listening to all of the talented speakers! It gives everyone great insight into tips and trends within the industry. Lindsay Adler spoke about the importance of social media to maximize business, Lori Nordstrom told us how to profit year-round from your high school senior business, Blair Phillips helped open the night to speak on products that drive higher sales, Terry and Leslie Dunlap shared their hilarious adventures in a variety of photo sessions, and there were so many more great speakers. We could go on and on!

Right now, Bob Maclay has been representing Denny Mfg. at SPAC (School & Sports Photographers Annual Conference) and this weekend the whole crew will be at Imaging USA 2015! We can't wait to see everyone there. Be sure to stop by booth #333 to see what we have going on (it's great, we promise)! See you at the next convention!

An Early Valentine's Treat From Us to You!

Now that the holiday craze is behind us, we're looking ahead to another holiday (of course): Valentine's Day! 

Have you considered adding Valentine's Day mini-sessions to your client base? They're a great way to get some images in before the next major picture times, school Spring portraits and Easter. By reaching out to your client base and offering these sessions, you stay in their mind and get a nice boost for your studio.

So, in anticipation of chocolates, flowers, and gifts, we've designed a few new backdrops perfect for Cupids of all sizes:

CP7609 Pink Pennants

CP7610 XOXO

CP7611 Sweet Stripes

CP7612 Sweetheart

With sizes starting at 3x3, these backdrops are perfect for any photographer, whether a veteran or just starting out! We suggest having them printed on our wrinkle-free Freedom Cloth material, which is durable and easy to clean. 

You can order these backdrops today at www.dennymfg.com. Be sure to check our current specials so you can get these designs at a great price. Questions? We'd love to answer them! Give us a call at 800-844-5616 so one of our account executives can guide you through the ordering process. 

An Investment That Will Get You More Clients

A few weeks ago, we had the pleasure of speaking with Nate Grahek, owner and founder of StickyAlbums.com. If you don't know about Sticky Albums yet, then you (and your clients) are truly missing out.

Nate was a photographer himself when the idea for Sticky Albums came to him. Like any photographer, he used his work to help book more clients. Before smart phones were around, we all kept our pictures in albums to proudly show off. But by 2011, Nate's clients (especially the seniors) had no interest in an album. In fact, if it wasn't on their phone, they weren't interested. Enter inspiration.

If he could create an app that replaced the old-school album, these seniors would have it with them everywhere (because what teenager go anywhere without their phone). And how cool would it be for them to have their own personal app?

Think about it: how many of your clients have all their photos on their phone? Imagine if those photos included an app of images that YOU shot for that client. Not only would your work get more exposure, but the client's friends will want a personalized app for their photos, too!

Nate's team is constantly working to improve Sticky Albums so that you, the photographer, can showcase your work and book more clients. Big names in the industry, such as Sal Cincotta and Sarah Petty, rave about Sticky Albums being a great investment for their studios. It's no wonder this product is a winner, snagging a 2014 Hot One Award and getting Best Digital Product 2012-2013.

And right now, you can make this great investment and save at the same time. For one more day, you can sign up for a lifetime membership and save $100. This is a HUGE deal that you really can't pass up. There are no other products out there that can book you more clients as well as Sticky Albums--and no other product that you can have FOREVER at a great price! You only have a day left, so check out their deal before it ends.

Here at Denny, we're also proud to have partnered with Sticky Albums through our Backdrop Buyer's Club. For an annual fee of $149.99, you will receive year-round deals on Denny products and exclusive deals from elite vendors in the photographic industry such as Sticky Albums. On average, these members save over $300 on their first order alone--that's enough to pay for TWO memberships! The benefits are big, but the savings are bigger so find out more so you can start saving today.
