Good news- my all nighter Thursday has paid off already! This morning at my BNI meeting the company representative for my client (UK Fixings), who requested the photos on behalf of their largest client, told me that said client loved the photos and wants to deal with me directly to have more photos done! Woot! It really made me feel good that they were so happy with the photos, and it confirmed to me that I am on the right track in this business. I'm expecting business to keep growing, and so the name change is a huge issue right now. I had some feedback that I ought to choose a name which doesn't involve my surname, and one of the guys at Anglesey suggested Digitalis, so I've been gathering feedback on Digitalis Photography International, which would give me the flexibility to go by either Digitalis, or dpi, depending on the market segment and the country. Digitalis is the Latin name for foxglove by the way. :) I've emailed out my BNI folks and after I hear back from them on their opinions, I will proceed on. I have some looming capital investing coming up that is causing me a wee bit of stress, as it's always a big deal to put money out up front. I know that it will come back in, as I'm getting fantastic reviews from tons of local business people here, but still putting the money out is stressful. I need a new website done, and some small scale studio equipment, as well as possibly CS4 and with that a new machine to run it on. Argh. Anyway this business will act as a seed business for us- as it grows and takes off it will bring in money that we can use to start other businesses with in the future.
Enough about business. :) The weather has been very nice here the past few days- mild and warm, which is the best we can hope for in the UK for summer. It's noticeable how early the sun is setting, and just this morning I realized that at 6:30 the sun was barely up.
