SAS for photographers.

When it comes to your studio, only the finest equipment will do. When it comes to customer care, only the finest call center will do.

Let’s face it: with camera technology as advanced as it is today, most people can take their own pictures. But not everyone wants to. When consumers contact your studio, they are looking for a skilled professional to take the types of pictures that are designed to last a lifetime. If you want to acquire new business in a competitive marketplace, you need to get things right on the first try. That initial phone call is a pivotal moment in a potential customer’s decision to go with you, or to choose one of your competitors. At Specialty’s answering service for photographers, we know that the first impression is also the last impression. That is why we are dedicated to providing the highest level of customer care in the industry.

Wedding photography costs $2,660, on average. Missed calls mean missed opportunities. For as little as $1 a day, SAS can help you capture every lead, turning your phone calls into profits.
