Christmas Day

Today it occurred to me that I should start a journal for the project to record milestones and maintain a bit of scope related data. What is Sessions Digital Tools for Photographers? It is a set of tools that any sized studio can use to manage all aspects of their clients, and potential clients, to ensure a maximum return on investment to retain those clients.

The tool is highly customizable and allows for an extremely flexible deployment and upgrade path. Users can shop the add on store to add additional modules for advanced reporting. The goal of this project is to turn your contact list into your customer list and manage each and everyone of your customers from a prospective contact to a satisfied customer, again and again. The tool will automate and integrate with a variety of social media platforms. Sessions aims to be a single tool for photographers to manage everything before one single photo is taken and then, everything else after the photos are taken.
