but, frankly, what i suck at is selling.  you will find no inkling of a used car salesman in me.  when i was a kid, i could talk anyone into anything, but as an adult, i have become much more introverted.  i don't think that is a bad thing necessarily, however, the ultimate goal of running a business, as enjoyable as it is to do something you love, is to make money.  

as we think about ways to expand our business and create what we see as an unfulfilled niche in the st. louis market, high-end pet photography, we are analyzing all parts of benton park photo co.  passive marketing is easy.  post to the blog every so often, try to be active on facebook, blahblahblah.  we want to go viral, not like STD viral.  did she just write that?  

so, in an effort to step out of our comfortable little, introverted, passive marketing box, we'll be at bark in the park saturday to meet as many pets and their people as we can.  our goal is to network with at least 50 people and photograph their pets.  if you find and approach us and say, "i love my furry friends," we'll hand you a little raffle ticket for a top-secret raffle.  and we'll be super stoked.  

recent photo of us to be posted soon.
