    Hi Christa,

    Great seeing you speak this morning at WPPI-U. You mentioned of Sticky Books during your talk, and it definitely piqued my interest. This is fantastic. I really like the idea of using it as a giveaway to clients. In addition to adding “surprise and delight,” it’s a targeted marketing tool. I can see myself using this.

    Funny how mobile, which used to be all about smaller devices and fitting the Internet in your pocket is now so “BIG” a tiny iPhone is a HUGE fact of our daily lives today. This idea is fantastic. I loved what the guy said that mobile is making people social again.

    it’s hard to pinpoint just one feature. i love the idea of giving it as a special surprise to your clients. 6-9 images which they can share via mobile gives you greater exposure in this day and age…

    there are so many smart things about this concept and one of the features i really liked is the ability to comment on images, adding a message, personalizes it…

    Being that I’m a young photographer, who has a love affair with my iPhone… this is going to make it so easy to share my work with friends and potential clients as well as have my clients share it with their friends!! I’ve been looking for something like this and I’m so happy that I’ve found it :) Beyond excited. Thanks Christa and Nate!

    June 27, 2012 | 1:50 pm

    I love the idea that there is a direct connection that allows for immediate contact between me and potential referrals. People love my work but it’s so easy for them to forget to contact me. This would be amazing.

    • Christa Meola
      June 27, 2012 | 3:10 pm

      Totally agree Joy. That’s the most enabling feature of Sticky Albums to create WOM. That’s one of the biggest reasons I love it and am more than happy to put it in the hands of my clients for free.

      good luck!

    Thank You Christa!

  50. Ben Lawson
    June 27, 2012 | 2:43 pm

    The off-line capability is probably one of the best but least thought about features here. There are so many times where a connection may not be available but they want to share their StickyAlbum. Awesome!

Thanks!
