The Referral Program!

Dear clients, friends and acquaintances,

2007 and 2008 were – despite the economic downturn – quite spectacular for me. Naturally I wouldn’t want to have it any other way in 2009. With current budget cuts for most companies in mind, I’m offering you to participate in a referral program, acting as a free floating agent. It’s quite simple, doesn’t require much action (other than sending out a few emails or making a phone call) and can help you cut down on costs for an upcoming photo shoot or generate additional income. Here’s how it works:


Scenario 1, if you’re connected in the fashion, entertainment and/or advertising industry:

Refer me to a potential new client (friends or colleagues at other companies?) who might be in need of a photographer or who uses photographers on a regular basis. If the new client hires me you get a 50% cut of my day rate of whatever the new client you referred me to pays on the first shoot. (a)


Scenario 2, if you ARE currently my client:

Refer me to a potential new client. Once this new client hires me, I cut my day rate that I shoot for you for on half for the next upcoming shoot. (b)


Why do I give up as much as 50%? Because the vast majority of my clients end up returning to have me produce more shoots as I provide a thorough and affordable service.
If you have any questions whatsoever feel free to get in touch with me by phone (917-549-3537) or email (philippe@philippe-ny.com) with any inquiries. To look at my work, log on to www.philippe-ny.com.


(a) Payment occurs once shoot is completed.
(b) Rebate for our upcoming shoot occurs once shoot for new client is completed.
