I'm just a bit ticket. I started a calendar online with 8 other photographers. The purpose is to send brides to the calendar if we are booked. I have the web tech guy that host the page and makes changes as we need them. Last year, we charged a fee of $75.00 that went to the cost of the software. This year, the fee is only $30.00 for the year. I got an email from one of them that they were dropping out. They said that it wasn't beneficial to them and none of the weddings they have booked came from the group.
My friend, the wedding coordinator needed someone else to take brides to when we are booked or if they just don't like us. I had her come to a meeting with this group of photographers to meet them all. I specifically told her to take a bride to the photographer that just dropped off the calendar. They booked the wedding and then the bride changed her date. They are the ones that kept the original deposit and then charged a second deposit. The bride went back with them again. So, they are grossing over minimal of $3000.00 for this wedding. That's just the one I know about. I am sure that the photographers book from me. I send at least 3 a week to this calendar. I really don't care if they think it's not beneficial to them, but it ticked me off that they didn't give me credit for sending the bride to them by way of the coordinator. And yes, they knew I suggested she use them when we were booked. I had told them that at the meeting. It just shows you how arrogant and ungrateful people can be.
Sorry, I just had to vent. I did send them an email reminding them of the bride they booked. Yvette
