SPAA announces June 2007 tour stops for sports photography traveling seminars

JACKSON, Mich. – Photographers seeking to learn the fast-growing business of sports photography need to attend one of the upcoming tour stops of the SPAA Sports Photography Seminar.  This will be the second year SPAA has taken its efforts on the road to educate attendees, including those who have been involved in sports photography for years and those just starting out.  Attendees will learn techniques that will help in achieving higher gross sales, better net margins, and greater customer satisfaction.
   With more than 52 million participants in youth sports and a purchase rate for packages of more than 80 percent, sports photography is one of the fastest growing and most profitable business opportunities in the photographic market.
   Below is a list of the six stops planned for the seminar, which begins June 25 in Portland, Ore.  Six more sites are being secured for late October/early November, which will be formally announced soon.  Each seminar costs $95 (including lunch).  For more information, contact Tom Crawford at 800-762-9287 or via e-mail at tcrawford@pmai.org.
