BikiniPRO Suscriber Campaign:
Graham Atkins-Hughes
Working extensively in both the fashion and interiors fields, I have been looking for new ways to shoot the 'accessories' of both these disciplines. The above image is from a series I shot recently for my portfolio, the rest of the pictures can be seen in the still life section on my website. It is one of several series that I have recently completed exploring creative ways of product presentation.

Here's an Easy Way to Connect with Image Buyers
Photo Business Success Coach
Beate Chelette blogs...
If you are struggling with getting enough new business you might be in violation of the rule of seven. This is a marketing rule and simply states the fact that your customer probably doesn’t know who you are unless you've "touched" them at least seven times. I have even heard that this rule is the rule of 12 now.
What’s a touch? An email, a phone call, a direct mail piece, a networking event an introduction etc.
You must have, what we call in marketing “top-of-mind-awareness” or you might not be the person your customer thinks of first when looking for a photography professional in your specialty... You need to do this for your business on a consistent basis. Be in front of your clients frequently and that is what increases your changes of getting the job...
During the CEPIC conference in Dublin I hung out with Ross MacRae, the Managing Director from BikiniLists.com. They are specialized in mailing lists for the creative industry for UK, Europe, USA and Australia. One of the great aspects of their system is that they are listing the type of accounts your potential clients have....

A series of Industry Specific interviews exclusive to PAN sponsored by Bikini.
TODAY :
Jason Hawkes, Aerial Photography
PAN: When did you start in the picture library business?
JH: Back in 1996, everything was on film and nobody even had email....
What were you doing before that?
I had been working as an aerial photographer since 1991....
What stock are you shooting this month?
I've shot images over London, and more graphic work particularly concentrating on roads....
How do you prepare for a day's aerial stock shoot?
As little as possible. The images I find work the best tend to be views you just happen to come across....
Do you use a fixed camera attached to the aircraft or are you shooting 'free'?
I have a range of mounts when shooting at night, some are fixed some are hand held....

How do you get more creative projects?
Promote to verified creative buyers with projects in your speciality.
In other words - send them something they need...
You need to connect with people who have a need for your type of images, food, fashion, lifestyle, corporates etc. etc.
Trouble is - things change so quickly in the creative industries that how do you keep track of who's doing what at agencies, magazines and book publishers without spending your whole working day on the phone?
With a BikiniPRO subscription it's quick & easy.
We do the research, so you don't have to.
and it works...
''
I won a major client the day after I sent my first email campaign. It was a big job for a pharmaceutical company - plus I'm getting more assignments.
It pays for itself many many times over.''

Subscriber Update: Quality on JPG attachments
From: Richard Bradbury
To: 'Tony Oliver'
Subject: RE: Emailer
Hi Tony,
I am preparing an image for my next emailer and as I always do I send a copy to myself using my mail package to see how it will look.
The insert you see below comes through to me looking soft and unsharp even though it is based on exactly the sme artwork that I have used for my last 2 bikinemail emailers.
Am I doing something wrong in the preparation of the file or is it something else?
Can you have a look at this and my previous mailers sent with you and get back to me...I am at my wits end!
Cheers!
Richard Bradbury
Hi richard.... When you insert hi quality JPGs as attchments, your email package compresses them down to send it quickly... it is then "unpacked" at the recipients end for display. trouble is its now low quality and looks rough.
the reason the img retains its quality using bikiniEmail is that its coming stright from our web server - completely untouched - so the sharpness / colour depth quality is retained...
when you set up the template on bikinemail the img will look as it should.
I'll post this up on the news site, in case anyone else is having the same issues.

Feedback from another Illustrator.
name = Willie Ryan
website =
http://www.willieryan.com
Art directors move frequently, switchboards are busy, and there are so many to phone and check it would take forever to do it myself
It's a lot quicker than sending postcards. probably 3,500 times quicker in my case
A friend of mine uses you, and I saw one of your email promotions
the site is easy, efficient, time saving and straightforward
I started in January 2009, and had my best quarter for years...
In April, an art director rang the morning after I sent out a campaign with an immediate commission. That commission paid my annual bikinilist spend.

Feedback in from David McClelland, UK Illustrator

Bikini takes the effort out of phoning up companies and gathering contact details.
I actually decided to send postcards first but it appears that a few of the design editors actually prefer emails.
One new client so far - but the contract has paid for the subscription.

August 2009 : A Case Study from Scott Rhodes, Illustrator
DK: What made you consider using bought in data lists?
SR: I felt it was a good investment for my business.
What made you decide to send email campaigns?
It's very cost effective and it's easy to do when work is quiet.
What made you choose BikiniLists?
I'd seen other illustrators recommend it on the A.O.I forum.
What has been your experience of working with Bikini?
Very easy to use
Has it been easy to promote on a regular basis?
Yes, I usually promote myself about once a month.
What have been the benefits to your business?
It has made a huge increase in the people that have seen my work. This has resulted in more commissions.
Have you secured new clients / apppointments as a result of using our data?
About 30% of all my work this year has come from new clients from the Bikini list.
What would you say to someone else who was thinking of using our services?
You are likely to get a good return on investment from new commissions.
