ACME Photography

BRB (Be right back)

In case you missed my blog post yesterday about charging for telephone quotes, it’s not because I’m arrogant, nor is it because I’m running low on cell phone minutes.  It’s really because my wife is giving birth in the next 24 hours!

I’m now driving to Paradise Valley Hospital with my wife Lynda to (help) deliver my first girl.  Acmebaby v3.0 which  has been in development for the past forty weeks. We are ready to release the new addition to our family of Acme’s.

If you’d like to follow our progress this weekend, please follow me on twitter. You can watch these accounts.

@AcmePhoto – My main account
@acmeBaby – Yes my daughter like social media.
I might work 1/2 days for a few days our baby is delivered, however I should have time to reply to any requests for photography quotes.  I have one more mouth to feed, so l free to fill out the estimate form at the bottom of this post.

C ya online!

Who doesn’t have a free quote?

I came home yesterday to see this flier my Arizona  “lawn” also know as a rock garden including  1/2 dead weeds because I sprayed them and have not yet taken the time to remove them.  I guess Phil thought I was too lazy to pull the weeds in my own front yard.

I’ve decided that Acme Photography is not going to not be like all the other guys.   I’ve seen many general contractors, lawyers, and builders in Phoenix not charge for an estimate or consultation.  From small business to large corporations, this is a very common practice.

In evaluating my photography business and I’m pleased to announce that I’ll have options for those who would like a paid quote and those who would prefer the free quote.  We’ll  test this and see how it works.  This policy is trial and will be evaluated after 1-2 weeks based on your feedback and our analyisis.*

* UPDATE* – This test run is now over…..
The real reason I didn’t want to be bothered for a week is because AcmeWife & I were  expecting  acmeBaby v3.0.  Izzy arrived safe and sound.

You may now call for a quote.
