FEEDBACK REGARDING ADVERTISING WITH PI:
“I’ve gotten so much business from the ad I’ve had up the past few weeks, as well as from the wonderful review you did. 
“I have been advertising with Prop Insanity from the beginning of my business, and it is one of the best decisions I have made. The exposure, clientale, and general ‘feel’ of Prop Insanity is top-notch. I love the enthusiasm and respect shown by Tracy and her crew and appreciate all that they do for their vendors. There is always a new opportunity or idea and it is wonderful to be part of such an innovative business!”
One of the best business decisions I made.”Heather JoinerOwner JoCo Couture
“Working with Tracy is always wonderful she makes you feel like a friend and ALWAYS answers your questions quick. PI has helped turn my part time business into a steady income that allows me to support my family! PI is a great way to build your business and to join a “online family” that supports one another!” ~ Deanna~ Kissing Frogs Props
Prop insanity is number 4 on my Google Analytics list of referring site (behind my direct traffic!) right now. You guys rock!” | Nili~ PDX Beanies
“When I signed on to advertise with PI it was my intention to make 10 times as much as I spent, and I’ve pretty consistently met or come close to that benchmark, so I’m happy! One more thing I HAVE noticed is the QUALITY of customers that PI attracts. The photographers who have found me via PI have been exceptionally nice, appreciative, fantastic customers. They’re serious about investing in quality props for their successful portrait photography businesses and as a result they’re a pleasure to work with. | Celeste~Crickets Creations
“Tracy, Thank you so much for your amazing post. You have the kindness and most thoughtful posts of anyone I know. You really take the time to show off the vendor and I can’t thank you enough for that. I love all that you do and your amazing heart of gold. Thank you so much! Respectfully, Laura Thomas www.prettypresets.com“
“The best thing about advertising with Prop Insanity is the amazing flexibility. Tracy is always looking for new and unique ways to help advertisers get their message out and when she finds them, she passes them along to advertisers, not as add-ons, but as part of the overall advertising package. We love that! “- Ashe Design

Having this blog, will allow us to gather our favorite photography prop business’s, products, and designers… and share them with YOU! Along with some great giveaways and prizes along the way.
