We do thousands of customers a day in the store, and millions of unique visitors on the web.

Photographers naturally gravitate to the web and as mobile professionals, social media is a good fit for them, and us. It’s a tough sell, however as my employer is a very shy company… however I got them to agree to let me try some tricks to increase our numbers, and the results were nothing short of astonishing. For the last year or so we’ve only had about 1,700 “fans,” which is pretty bad. I was able to skyrocket our numbers twenty-fold in no time at all. As of this writing, there are over 20,000.

The time difference between the screenshots below is less than one week!
