So... I'm opening a new Studio!! Eeeeeek!

So..
I've decided to take the plunge and open a new studio!

Based in Leamington Spa, Warwickshire UK.

PHLASH Worx LTD

Will be sporting full bowens light setup with the biggest selection of modifiers compared to any other local studio ( that we know of )
850sq feet of shooting space, kitchen, fresh ground coffee, dressing/makeup area and chill out area with couches, tethering options using 27" i7 processor iMac. Workshops, 1-2-1 tuition in photography and makeup, model days and much more!

So excited!! But also a little scared! Haha

Please drop by and wish me luck on Facebook... Or if you are in the Area, drop in and say hello when we open Early September!

I hope the "if you build it they will come" approach works out for you.

A brave move. Every business I've come across who has opened a similar style studio over here has flopped. Good luck.

Cheers guys... Don't get me wrong... We do not have a "if we build it they will come" strategy.

We have done extensive market research and have carefully selected our location due to the demographic, competition, business rates etc... We also have quite a few business mentors behind us, we have not borrowed any money so we owe nothing,

We are also employing a very strict marketing strategy which is a 3 year strategy that will hopefully work...

A lot of time, effort and planning has gone into this very moment.. We have a great team ( I'm not a one man band on this ) and hopefully all will come good

Good luck. Keep us updated!

Congratulations and wish you all the best in your business venture

Any successful business person will tell you it's alot of hard work, if it was easy everybody would be doing it!

Best wishes to you!

Congrats man!

I want my own studio one day...

Are you thinking about renting out your space when not utilizing it?

Is photography part-time or full time?
