I attended Marathon Press’s two-day marketing workshop this past summer in Philadelphia. Those two days were the most challenging and rewarding days I’ve invested in marketing for my business. I came away with a refined view to re-inspire my vision and exactly what it is that I want to offer my clients.

Shortly after coming home from the workshop, I decided to go ahead with the Marketing Advantage Program which had caught my interest. I have to say, it continues to be the best marketing money I’ve invested. After the talented Marathon Press team revamped my logo, they created a completely new identity package that I couldn’t have even dreamt up! I love it and (most importantly) my clients love it too! Tina and Mark keep up with me at least monthly – more often when needed. They captured the essence of how I want my business image to be portrayed.

I have to say that I was particularly impressed with my two most recent phone conferences with Tina (12/8) and Tina and Mark (11/10). In discussing my short-term and longer-term marketing strategies, they both gave me marketing ideas that didn’t even involve spending my MAP points. As we were talking, I was thinking to myself, “So what pieces are they going to suggest for me to buy?” but that point never came up. I was flabbergasted! The monthly meetings for the Marketing Advantage Program aren’t just sales gimmicks! They’re genuine, overall marketing help! It’s a good reminder that they’re my marketing team – not just sales people. They earnestly want my business and those like mine to succeed.

I would recommend the Marketing Advantage Program by Marathon Press to any professional photographer who wants to take their business to the next level!
