Benefits of outsourcing album design.

There are a huge amount of benefits to be gained by hiring an album designer. Your job is to create beautiful photos – right? So after you have done what you are optionally good at, you can pass on your works of art onto someone who thrives on constructing albums - someone who is passionate about the task and has the time, expertise and resources to complete the task.
Once you have the right person for the job, you can book in more shoots while the designer is taking care of the album for you.
Make sure you have all your ducks in a row by ensuring that you:
  • Research the album designer – check out their portfolio and their client list to ensure they are as good as they say they are;
  • Commit to a minimum album/page deal to take advantage of the best design rates possible;
  • Develop a great rapport with your designer by referring colleagues to them to ensure future discounted rates;
  • Create web links to your designer to improve ‘hits’ and offer to guest blog for their website;
  • Use social networking to its full advantage by following associates and retweeting or liking others pages, which encourages your networks to do the same;
  • Use your time wisely by booking in shoots while your album designer frees you up for more work.
The whole point of outsourcing album design is to allow you to do what you do best – to create beautiful images, while someone else can take the time to make them indelibly lasting on the pages of an album.
