StudioCloud At Imaging USA

Hello everyone! Come by and see me in Nashville at Imaging USA.  I will be in booth #555 with Ron Nichols and ProSelect.  Ron will be giving live demos of the amazing sales and presentation software, ProSelect, and will show how StudioCloud and ProSelect are integrated to make your workflow streamlined and efficient.  He will also be doing demos of his post processing tools.   

We will be offering special trade show pricing for this coming Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday, February 1st-3rd.  If you have been waiting to upgrade to PartnerBoost or EmployeeBoost or want any of the add-ons, this is our best pricing! Usually you have to attend the Imaging Expo to receive this pricing but this year you can look for the special pricing on our website or at the Imaging Expo. We will give more details soon!

In honor of Imaging USA, we are also having a drawing on Facebook and one lucky winner will win $500 to spend at B&H photo.

Here is the link to the drawing details on FaceBook. StudioCloud FaceBook Contest

Cheers,

Cori Rae

        

System Upgrade 12/31/2014

Our team will be performing system maintenance starting 12/31/2014 at 6:00 PM MST.  We expect the maintenance to last 3-4 hours.  During that time the syncing functionality of StudioCloud will be unavailable but you will be able to continue using the StudioCloud software on your computers.

Windows Syncing Issues

A recent security update of Adobe AIR now requires that all communication be done over TLS security. Previously TLS, SSL 2.0, and SSL 3.0 were supported but, due to recent security concerns regarding SSL 2.0 and SSL 3.0, they are no longer supported in Adobe Air. Unfortunately, some windows computers have TLS turned off by default and they are experiencing issues when they try and sync StudioCloud.

Instructions on how to resolve this issue are available in the following support article

http://app1.studiocloud.com/support/index.php?/article/AA-00747/0/How-to-Enable-TLS-for-Internet-Explorer.html

Please note, so far this change only seems to affect some users with the Windows operating system.

Testimonials Needed

Hello StudioCloud Community!

We are looking for some of you who would like to submit a StudioCloud testimonial for use on our website, advertising material, etc. If you would like to help us out send an email to cori.rae at studiocloud.com with your name, your business name, your website, and what you love about StudioCloud and/or how it has helped you in your business. You can also include a picture of yourself if you would like to.

We are also looking for 3-4 individuals who would like to do a case study with us. This would involve filling out a form with questions regarding your business processes and how you utilize StudioCloud in operating your business. There may be some communication back and forth with this. We are specifically looking for photographers with or without employees and also another small business that is not photography related. If you would like to be considered for the case study please send an email to cori.rae at studiocloud.com.

Thank you for your help!

StudioCloud Wins Hot One Award Again

StudioCloud is proud to announce that the PPA's Professional Photographer magazine has selected StudioCloud as the winner of its coveted 2014 Hot One Award for Best Studio Management Software and for Best Studio Management Mobile App. This will be the third year in a row that StudioCloud has won the Hot One Award for Best Studio Management Software and the second year in a row that StudioCloud has won the Best Studio Management Mobile App.

New Tag Updates

StudioCloud has expanded the tagging capability to now include event tags, invoice tags, project tags, and bookkeeping tags. With this new capability StudioCloud users can segment their StudioCloud information.

For example, if you have a photography studio that does portrait and wedding photography you can tag the invoices separately and run reports to see which one is doing financially better. Or, if you have a business that has two or three branches you can tag the invoices and bookkeeping separately to see how they are performing.

Please note the following limitations.

• Unlike the client tags which supports having multiple tags events, invoices, projects, and bookkeeping can only be tagged once. 
• To simplify the tagging process events, invoices, projects and bookkeeping will automatically default to the same tag as the client.
• StudioCloud is still working on adding reports for event, invoices, projects, and bookkeeping tags. These will be available in a future update.
