Friend of AIR

If you feel that this site is worth £6.80 a month to you in bookings, or time and aggro saved finding models etc then become a Friend of AIR.

General Benefits

  • Friends of AIR appear at the top of Searches
  • Create "Worked With" - you can highlight members you have worked with, and this appears on your page AND THEIRS.
  • Get your ads into the Monday Newsletter
  • Cheap Mailblasts to promote you / your service.
  • Use AIR Secured Booking Service at a huge discount

Specific Benefits for Photographers

Your Models Needed posts (paid work only) go out in the Monday Newsletter. Saves you time contacting models by letting you concentrate on the ones who WANT the work.

Amateurs - being a Friend of AIR shows that you are serious and this will allow you get more models to take you seriously. (Many models ignore people they have doubts about, esp for higher levels or if it will involve the model travelling). "Worked With" is very powerful because as you work with more people it becomes impressively long.

Professionals - your work and references show you are serious, but for you the AIR Secure Booking is a boon as it will help deal with no shows and late excuses. It will only cost you £10 to book ANY model, and I take the view that models will be very careful not to mess people around when it's been done through AIR Secure Booking because doing so is likely to annoy me and get them flagged or deleted.

Specific Benefits for Studios, Locations and other services

  • Staying near the top of searches means you get looked at every time.
  • Promote any particular events / services / limited offers you organise.

Specific Benefits for Models

MONEY!!!! Models who take up the combined option of a years Friend of AIR plus Mailblast typically get £1000 + in bookings immediately, and several have reported much higher figures. We give you a 30 day money back guarentee, and so far NO ONE has ever asked for their money back.

  • Being near the top of searches is great for bookings - we all know that photographers contact the first people they see who fits the brief.
  • Shows you are serious and reliable. "Worked With" is very powerful because as you work with more people it becomes impressively long.
  • Avoid flakes with AIR Secure Booking - if a photographer is unwilling to accept a £10 quid Secure Booking fee then you have to wonder just how serious they are. Will they suddenly cancel a few days ahead?
  • Post your availability in the Newsletter. (Only in weeks when no MailBlast going out for a model).
  • Your Forum posts re work wanted and tours go in the Newsletter,.
