Direct Mail Books
Suggestions on "product photography" books or other tips?
I am looking for information for an ABSOLUTE beginner on product photography to develop a direct mail print catalog. Preferably book recommendations on the topic and/or tips from professionals on lighting, tools/props needed.
Thanks in advance!
Flat shadowless lighting against a white background is usually best for products shots for catalogues. This makes it easy to select objects when you come to compile the images for a catalogue.
The easiest way to achieve this is with a 'Light Tent' available cheaply, such as these.

New SEO service Scottsdale
Vital Computer Services is new in the Scottsdale area, although the owner is nothing new, back in the nineties, Michael Robert Cummings worked for a company called Health Wardens, Rangers Health was a vitamin, skin lotion, enhances beauty and age defying solution provider. The company has implemented and is owned by a Dr. Martin, at the time of the observers of Health was using a service bureau to process and maintain the marketing program that led to the sales of businesses.
Health Rangers would buy / rent lists from list brokers around the country, the basic criteria were people who were 55 years of age and older, with incomes $ 50.000 or more, which is also home owners, beer or a woman does not matter, many of the specific lists of the area of Florida, New York, California, as this was at the time in a hot market to appeal, and probably still depends on your product and / or target audience. Sun City was a popular choice too.
The point is clever marketing, that's what made the company profitable and successful, when I started there in 1995, the company had about 15 to 20 staff in handling customer service requests through telephones, mail order forms and email, the Internet market was still just started and nobody has heard of something called Google, search engines and links have been the buzzwords.
I was hired Rangers Health to take over the functions, processes, maintain databases, control and make available lists of rental and purchase, which converts all marketing lists a standard format to attach all necessary tracking information and ran across the address information through the process of CASS, next dedupe records and flagged buyers ordered after several emails and files created inkjet records and reports, these were downloaded to the internal mail for printing, selection and dismissal is given to the post office. BAM.
And the orders come in, as I said there were about 15-20 CSR to take the orders, but this process became for success, the company had to hire as many of 70 new people, which went from $ 10-15000 dollars per day to $ 90,000 a day, WOW! They had a very good thing going there, and that was the situation when I left in 1997, returned to Chicago, Illinois, to continue my career in the successful development of production systems marketing.
Well, today I am in a similar situation, I'm not involved in direct mail, my focus these days is a bulk email and search engines and ensure that companies with a presence Google, I'm starting on the ground floor a bit but a lot of experience to help companies become profitable. There are still companies that do a lot of direct mail yet, but shipping charges are getting higher and higher and companies seeking more cost-effective way to market their products.
