Pictage and The Wedding Report Team Up to Deliver Wedding Photographers an Unprecedented Level of Market Research
Torrance, CA (PRWeb) February 21, 2007 -- Pictage, the nation's leading provider of wedding photography solutions to professional photographers, and The Wedding Report, a market research tool for wedding professionals, have partnered to offer Pictage members another amazing benefit -- Free subscription to The Wedding Report. The Wedding Report is a great asset to any wedding photographer looking to increase profits, accurately price wedding portrait packages, and stay on top of current wedding industry trends. The Report is also a valuable resource for wedding photographers because it solves the problem of blindly searching for wedding market statistics on forums, blogs, and websites, by keeping them conveniently stored on one site.
As listed on TheWeddingReport.com, the service will help wedding professionals understand the wedding marketplace and better target their ideal customers. The Wedding Report also offers business research links with advice on how to strategically reorganize, create, and execute a business or marketing plan. Wedding photographers can also access valuable wedding cost reports for guidance on how to spend advertising dollars wisely and make better pricing decisions. As in any industry, knowledge is power and The Wedding Report will give wedding photographers the necessary information to increase sales, simply by knowing the facts that will keep them abreast of wedding industry data and trends.
Using The Wedding Report, Pictage members can tap into unlimited downloads of wedding industry data for 2006, the latest statistics for 2007, and wedding cost estimates for years 2008, 2010 and 2012. Members can also download yearly reports that contain a breakdown of who pays for the wedding, how the bride and groom will plan their wedding, the average cost of a wedding by zip code, and more.
Pictage members will also receive valuable business research links and a free listing on CostofWedding.com -- a wedding planning site for brides and grooms listed by city.
During the initial 90-days of free access, The Wedding Report is offering a discounted annual subscription fee of $25 -- that's nearly 75% off the non-member price of $98 and exclusive to Pictage Professional Members.
