Creating Return on Investment

Greta Jacobs Mee, CPP

Join Greta September 7^th at 2pm at her League City studio. In this workshop Greta will build on the knowledge you gained from Ann Monteith and Kim Hartz’s programs in April. She will cover all the elements of profitability and return on investment. Then she will delve into the costs (the obvious ones and those that like to hide) in our businesses and learn how to allocate those costs to our various products and services. There are several methods you can use and Greta gives an overview of each one and how they may suit your business model better than the others.

If you missed Ann or Kim, don’t worry we will catch you up! Please bring a profit and loss statement that shows your income and costs (2013 tax info works too). This sensitive information will not be shared, but will be helpful in determining your own results against the 2011 PPA Benchmark. Because we have a small group we will be able to go through a few examples and help you with specific questions for your business.

After years of loving numbers, Greta's eyes now glaze over when faced with doing math. Her goal in this workshop is to give you the understanding of why the numbers matter and then some rules of thumb to simplify their use.

Greta owns a full-service portrait studio in League City, Texas. The studio photographs children, families, high school seniors, executives, schools, events and commercial projects in studio and on location.

Greta holds an MBA in finance and economics from a top business school and a BS in Electrical Engineering. (She really does know her numbers!) After facing severe burnout many years ago she turned to the visual arts with a degree from FIDM in San Francisco which led to her current work as a portrait artist. Now she only does math when absolutely forced to do so!

Greta Mee, CPP is a past president of the Professional Photographers Guild of Houston and currently serves as Chairman of the Board.
