The Mystery Shopper...

I'm driving back from a weekend of basketball tournament photographs tonight and got stuck in Colby, Kansas when I-70 closed so I logged on from the hotel to see who was visiting our web site and I had to laugh at this registration.

We always ask for visitors to 'register' on our web site before they can see photographs from a session or event. The registration is primarily used to help visitors easily return to the galleries they have access to and to bookmark favorite pictures. We also like to send an occasional e-mail newsletter to everyone who registers in hopes that if they were interested in seeing these pictures, they might be interested in our latest work, specials and news and maybe even someday will consider recommending us to their friends or hiring us themselves!

Anyway, I had to laugh that someone would be so reluctant to give their information so as to fill out a bogus registration. Honestly, it doesn't even bother me. If you're that worried that I'm going to flood you with marketing or try to sell you something, go ahead and fake it...no worries here. I'm sure those of you who do know us and how our business runs can attest to the fact that we're pretty low-stress and friendly and it's going to stay that way. In the meantime, enjoy the photographs!



PS - If you are receiving our e-mail newsletters and would like to be taken off our list forever, just send an e-mail to tim@imagefactoryphoto.com with the subject line 'GOODBYE' and that e-mail will be deleted from our database forever and you'll never ever get another e-mail from us again. The rest of you know that the e-mail newsletters are pretty non-intrusive and are quite fun to read. I don't blast your inbox with one every day or even every week. We want it to be more like an e-mail from your friends letting know what's going on in their lives and of course we love to hear from you when you reply so keep it up!
