WPD Photographer Client Testimonial Certification


WPD client testimonial certification.According to a recent consumer survey conducted by the WPD of over 1,500 participants: over 45% of the consumers responded that proof of client testimonials and satisfaction contributes to their key buying decision on choosing a wedding photographer.

The WPD Client Testimonial Certification is a online digital certificate to provide just that: proof of client satisfaction. A photographer must exemplify high standard of work quality while providing a multitude of client references to receive this certificate. All bride and groom interviews are conducted via phone by the WPD. WPD does not present testimonials from the photographers, but rather obtain them from the clients directly to maximize creditability of the certificates.


Certificate Application Process

The WPD Client Testimonial Certificate is available to WPD members. The certificate will also be available to the public on 9/15/2008. To apply for the certificate:

  1. You must operate your business within the united states. Your personal online website portfolio must contain samples for at least 10 weddings

  2. Request a formal portfolio review for initial WPD qualification

  3. Once qualified, if you're applying for the first time, you must provide 5 client references; including phone numbers, and full contact information. If WPD can only get in touch with less than 5 of your clients, additional reference may be required until the minimal 5 client references are met.

  4. The minimal certification is 2 testimonials.

  5. All clients' weddings must be taken place within the recent 6-month period.

  6. Provide five wedding photos for each wedding. Your clients may be questioned about the photos.

  7. Optional: provide your own client testimonials. However, your testimonials will only be used as an interview reference.

  8. WPD will attempt to conduct phone interviews with your clients within four business weeks.

  9. Your client testimonials will be date-stamped and certified.

  10. You will receive an official WPD Client Testimonial Certificate to be used within your WPD profile. Your certificate may be directly linked from your own website.
