UKphotoevent

Who are UKphotoevent?

UKphotoevent makes it easier to find a photographer for your events who has the right skills you're after and in your local area. This made it possible for the client to have a list of suitable photographers with just one click, so saving huge amounts of time and effort searching on search engines.

They deal with local and national companies, tackling each project on its individual merits, and pride themselves on working quickly and efficiently with all their customers.

Why did they come to us?

The initial enquiry was made to Allies® because the demonstration on the internet worked and seemed like the best solution to the requirements that were originally considered. There were 2 companies originally approached. Allies® replied promptly and gave the requested information. During the trial period the support team provided accurate and useful information that helped to produce an implementation of the Nearest system that did exactly what was required.

What are the benefits?

A successful business

Without Allies' Nearest facility there probably would be no UKphotoevent in its present format.

"I view the Nearest search facility as the key enabler of what we set out to achieve. In many ways the business is being built around the 'Nearest' search" says Mike Weeks from UKphotoevent.

Excellent service to customers

"From a client perspective there is no searching through lists or endless clicks. With one simple town or Postcode entry, followed by a click, clients have a list of photographers in front of them straight away."

Business has expanded

As a new start-up it is easiest to attract other users if they can see and understand what the business is trying to achieve. For UKphotoevent it is the principle that the nearest photographer will appear at the top of the list and that list placement cannot be purchased. Interested photographers can see this working and easily understand how it can meet the needs of their business.

Database management

The database of registered photographers can be easily managed anytime, online. This means that UKphotoevent does not have to worry about making contact with Allies® at any particular time of day when staff can be better involved with other tasks.

Happy customers

Customers are already seeing the benefits. "One click and I found you - it saved me endless searches on Google" says a happy UKphotoevent customer.
