Today, photographers have a gazillion possible marketing roads to follow. Which way should you go? Consultant/Lawyer Leslie Burns of Burns Auto Parts will offer her thoughts on the best routes to success, how to weigh the pros and cons of different roads to select the right ones for your business, and she’ll explain why your route will be unique (that’s a good thing). Also, since some marketing roads have big potholes (like rights-grabs!), she’ll address some of the legal issues to consider in your selections. She’ll even touch on a few copyright issues (her favorite topic!) in the process.

Make sure to come to this event with a notebook and plenty of questions. This will be a great opportunity to pick the mind of one of the best-known consultants out there, now with added legal goodness, and she loves to be asked questions at her events!
