…and were thrilled with the event!  The following day, we sent out a simple 5 question survey to our Open House attendees to gain some feedback.  We were happy to hear that they learned a lot from our “what brides want” presentation and are really excited to use that info to help grow their business!  Within the survey, we allowed our guests to ask any further questions, so we figured we’d share the knowledge with everyone!

Here are some of the questions they asked with our responses:

Q: Will you offer the same kind of interactive ordering like zookie pro for designs we do ourselves? If we can design and upload our album for the bride to see (and also allow her to order mutiple) or order more copies later….that would be awesome.  A: Yes!  We will be building a new ordering system this year that will have many of the great features of zookie pro (like our “shopping cart”), so you’ll be able to improve the ordering experience between you and your client whether you let us design your albums in zookie pro, or choose to design your own albums and order through Zookbinders.  Our goal is to help make the ordering process super simple for you and your clients.  You can expect this feature sometime in the late Fall.

Q: When will the Zook Book be ready for in house design? A: The Zook Book (which will have a different name with zookie pro- something along the lines of “Premium Big”) will be available by the end of May.

Q: Can you recommend a good blog, for professional photographers, moving into the wedding field?  A: On the right side of our blog, you’ll see our “Blog Roll” which is a list of our favorite blogs. Specifically for weddings, DWF is a great tool (http://www.digitalweddingforum.com/). 

Q: Are you also a regular print lab? A: No, we only offer our print-to-bind services for our albums/photobooks.

Not only did our attendees ask a ton of great questions, they also gave us some wonderful praise:

“You ran and conducted a VERY NICE program. THANK YOU & ALL AT ZOOKBINDERS.”

“Thanks Mark for an informative evening. Your products are wonderful.”

“I will most certainly work with Zookbinders, making beautiful books for my couples, moving forward.”

Thank you, again, for all who attended and gave us such great feedback!
