ASMP Photo Bulletins

December 15, 2008 |  by Tim Gruber  |  business, freelance  | 

I’ve been spending a little time flipping through the PDFs of the ASMP Bulletins. It’s published quarterly and you can download issues dating all the way back to 1997. Pretty sweet.

Each issue is worth peaking at since everyone has little nuggets sprinkled throughout especially for those of us dealing with freelance photography.

As someone about to embark on his first email campaign I found the E-Mail Promos: Do They Work? article a nice read that you can find in the Spring 08 issue.

Also of interest to the photojournalists out there is the article in the Winter 08 issue about Marketing for Photojournalism. Nothing you probably don’t know or haven’t already read, but it’s still worth noting.

The article does end with a quote from Scott McKiernan that’s worth repeating now that the photo contest season is upon us:

The only competition any photographer has is him or herself.

  1. so I’d love to hear how you go about this man.
    in fact, can you put me on your email promo client list?

  2. I can’t say I know a lot about it myself Peter. It’s a seat of the pants kind of endeavor. I’ll let you know how it all comes together. I’m still compiling my list of editors, but I do have my promo designed so that’s a start. I’ll send you one once I have it ready to go.
