Adorama has been the best for purchasing Camera Gear and Equipment – not only is there a warranty and return guarantee with each purchase, they have a loyalty system that is very helpful when it comes to upgrading your gear. And you can sell back your used gear for credit on top of it!
Dubsado – DUBSADO!! I love Dubsado as my CRM and workflow management. If you want a sweet Dubsado Discount use code: Pearl when you sign up for a monthly or yearly subscription.
Cloudspot is my favorite online proofing and delivery gallery method. I have tired a handful of the other systems out there, but Cloudspot won me over with the easy integration with Dubsado Portals which helps keep everything your clients need throughout your service with them, all in one spot.
Quickbooks keeps your business finances in order which gives you more time and helps you keep your sanity when it comes to filing your taxes, this is also a necessity for learning what your business needs to thrive in the long run.
Unscripted Posing App is a great resource for refreshing your posing ideas before a session. Sometimes a pose won’t work or you can get in a rut, so this is a great tool to have at your fingertips at any session. (And I love the Unlimited options so I don’t have to pay monthly!)
All of these resources can assist in getting your business organized and help you to focus more on being creative, though most importantly, will help you to focus more on the clients you serve!
