Brian Molitoris- Snapping his way into the future!

with one comment

Some of us are landscapers, financial planners, website developer and the list goes on and on.  Brian Molitoris choose to create his future around Photography.  With the age of the digital camera and the iphone and products like that, you still wouldn’t use these things to take pictures of your wedding would you?  Of course not!  That’s why you need photographers like Brian on your side to help you highlight your business, create memories of your wedding, and also show the growing up changes that your son or daughter goes through.  Here is a little information about Brian!

How long have you been in the photography business? I have been in business for over 15yrs now.

Do you work with Business to Business or do you work with Cosumers?  I work with everyone because every one has image needs. Sometimes business customers become consumers and sometimes my consumers become business customers.

What your your goals in 2010 for Brian Molitoris Photographer? I’m still new to the area so I’m looking to grow in the Denver Metro Area. There are a lot of groups,companies, weddings, and high school seniors to work with.  I’m also trying to work with non-profits by donation of services or auction items for fundrasiers.

What suggestions would you give other business owners out there to make it in 2010?  First, business cards for networking is a must! Be Sure to always have lots with you. Hard to believe, but I’m at meetings where people don’t have cards.  I feel that cards are an invitation to connect! The next would be getting some professional portraits on your social networking sites.  It’s easier for people to connect with your face vs. a logo or any other image.  For example, three people with the same name and no photo want to connect with you and without a photo…..who do you choose?  So spend time and upgrade your social image.

Where can people find Brian Molitoris Photographer?  http://bmp.digitaleventsonline.com and facebook at http://www.facebook.com/pages/Brian-Molitoris-Photographer/ or brianmolitorisphotographer@gmail.com.

What things do you do to make your business well known?  I connect directly with people!  People buy from those they know and trust.  I complete high quality images from them.  Nothing better than returning to a home and seeing a portrait I did years ago take up “residence” on a wall and it will be there for years to come! Its always a treasured connection when a customer refers me to a friend or associate.

Has accepting credit cards been helpful for your business?  It makes it easy for customers to pay and to they are happy to know that the transaction is secure. The multiple billing feature is great for those with higher end weddings where the payments are spread over several months.

Which terminal do you have?  I have the virtual terminal. I can contact customers and do it all from my Mac notebook.  I’m looking forward to seeing how the iPAD connection works out!

Working with Brian has been a joy!  I love working with innovative clients who know their business and have passion for what they do!  Executive Merchant Services appreciates your time Brian and looks forward to going in the future with you.

Stone Cold Marketing is getting it done!

with one comment

With all of the loom and gloom going on in today’s world, I have the pleasure to have a client named Byron Johnson.  He is a dedicated business owner who is figuring out ways to beat the “recession” and be a product of forward movement and thinking.  He is the owner of Stone Cold Marketing located in Denver,Co.  Byron took some time out of his schedule to interview with Executive Merchant Services, LLC to tell his story. This is our interview that we had!

How long have you been in business? Stone Cold Marketing has been in business since 2006, so for 4 yrs.

What do you specialize in?  Who are you power partners? Do you work with Business to Business or do you work with Consumers?   Stone Cold Marketing specializes in printing, marketing products, and promotional products.  Some of these products include printing on calendars, business cards, banners, flyers, promotional products, pens, mechanical pencils and t-shirts.  Some of my power partners include website developers, grant writers, and marketing professionals just to name a few.  We work with both business to business and also with business to consumers. 

What is your mission when you work with a potential client? What makes your business so unique? Here at Stone Cold Marketing we pride ourselves on being a one stop shop! On our website, you have the option of developing and ordering with the OPTION to call if you like. You can create your own grapic design on our website for free. In this question I like this statement the most.  Byron says, “We don’t reach down the ladderr to help you, we climb the ladder with you”.  With statements like these, is there any reason that Stone Cold Marketing isn’t reaching the top?

What are your goals in 2010 for Stone Cold Marketing?  We are looking to expand our business more in the west coast. We have a very strong presence in the East coast. So, if there are any connections primarily in the West coast please contact info@stonecoldmarketing.com.

What suggestions would you give other business owners out there to make it in 2010?  Real GRASSROOT NETWORKING! Leave business cards everywhere! If you still have the same business cards 6 months later, something is wrong!

Where can people find Stone Cold Marketing?  www. stonecoldmarketing.com, www.twitter.com/beegjohnson, www.facebook.com,www.linkedin.com. If you google search stone cold marketing everything will come up.

What things do you do to make your businss well known? I have been using social networks in a major way.  Twitter has been the main one for business along with networking events all over Colorado and Nevada.  Blog advertising and small business advice daily has been a great source as well.

Can you do business anywhere? Yes!

Has accepting credit cards been helpful for your business? Tremendously! If its not the use, the option alone has been huge.  For my business, Amex has been great to have.  The comfort of having the face to face interaction with Executive Merchant Services  has been great and made the process a whole lot easier!

Which terminal do you have and what featuers do you like about it most? I have the virtual terminal and I LOVE IT! My laptop is with me wherever I go . So when I’m out and about I can minimize the screen , charge at networking events, and do it all from my laptop wherever I have an internet connection.

Has accepting credit cards been easy for your business? Very, Very easy!

  Working with Stone Cold Marketing has been a been a joy! They represent what Executive Merchant Services believes in and that belief is being Progressive.  Progressive customers know that they will make it and do whatever it takes to make it in 2010!

Special thanks to Stone Cold Marketing for your great work and the interview!
