Great service means great service: from first booking to the final bill
You’ve just eaten a great meal in a lovely restaurant but the service was a bit slow and the serving staff bordered on surly.
To cap it all, you’d been more than ready to leave when it took another 15 minutes to get the bill, despite waving your credit card around pointlessly in the air to every passing waiter.
So how would rate the overall experience?
OK, you are there first and foremost to eat, and great food clearly is the main event. But in our view, you’d probably give the evening a begrudging 7 out of 10 at best because there were too many other elements of the whole experience that simply let the side down.
We, of course, apply the same exacting standards when it comes to our service. We have been in business for nearly 20 years and believe that our photographs are as good as any of the best photographers serving corporate photography clients.
But we also think it’s the whole package that counts, from the speed and courtesy with which we deal with your first enquiry, to how comfortable we make our subjects feel having their pictures taken, and how quickly we send you the images to select and choose, and the care we take photoshopping and tidying up the images you’ve selected. We take the view that no single part of our service can afford to be anything other than the best, because if it was, we’d be heading towards 7 out of 10-ville.
Only as good as our last shoot
We also know, that no matter how many times you have booked us for your shoots, we will be judged against all these elements, and if any of them is below par, you might just be tempted to give our rivals a go next time you need a professional photographer.
Thanks for the thanks
And because we are a small, essentially family business, we get a huge sense of job satisfaction when you take the time and trouble to drop us line letting us know just how much you appreciated our work. For us, your thanks makes all the difference, and we love to hear from you.
Some lovely comments
Here’s just some of the recent feedback we are very proud to share –
‘I have to say, I got so much good feedback on Douglas. A lot of us really did not want our pictures done but had a really positive experience.’
‘These [the shots] are fantastic! Please thank Douglas again too. I’m sure we’ll be in touch again very soon!’
‘I just wanted to say thank you to Douglas for yesterday. He was an absolute pleasure to work with and his photos came out brilliantly. His calm nature and humour really put everyone at ease and he captured some beautiful shots. I can’t wait to see them all properly!
‘These photos are absolutely stunning, I love them. Thank you and Douglas so much! I am thrilled and can’t wait to post them on our new website.’
‘I just wanted to drop a note to thank Douglas for Friday. Everyone said what a lovely guy he was and really helped to make everyone feel at ease! Although everyone was dreading having their photos taken, I think they all really enjoyed it in the end!
‘The images were great, thank you. The turnaround was fantastic and really helpful.’
