Advanced search capabilities and the photo industry-specific scheduling system work hand-in-hand to enhance your ability to reach prospects and promote your services. PhotoJobsDatabase features a wide range of classifications to increase the precision of your marketing efforts. And, classifications are customizable giving you even greater flexibiity when you’re inputting your own data.

Looking for a new market? Why limit yourself to one area? PhotoJobsDatabase makes it easy to expand your efforts to other areas by utilizing its categories and classifications. Read our Case Studies to learn how PJD contacts have been used to expand into other markets. And read our Tips section for helpful insider's tips on marketing your work.

PhotoJobsDatabase has an integrated calendar system that delivers powerful scheduling capabilities for industry-specific events such as job "holds", sending out portfolios and promo card campaigns.

Dual scheduling windows allow you to see scheduled events for just one contact or for your entire database. With one click, see what you have to do today, and with another click, view all upcoming events. Search by multiple, specific criteria such as “all jobs for the next three months.”

Print schedules or export them into 12 different formats for importing into your PDA or attaching as files and emailing them to your co-workers. Formats include Comma-Separated Value, Tab-Separated Text, HTML Table, Excel, and many more!  (NOTE: Mac OSX Leopard users cannot export contacts and schedules from PJD into Excel at this time.)

In addition to helpful workflow features, PhotoJobsDatabase also delivers an all-in-one list of potential job contacts with a very low overall cost per contact. Ours is a gold-standard list of key decision makers in a wide variety of ad agencies, magazines, entertainment companies, corporations, and retailers/catalogs.

PhotoJobsDatabase provides the information you need to market your services including contact data, company profiles, magazine circulation data, and advertising agency accounts. (Note: Click the image at left for an example of contact names & phone numbers in the List view format.)
