I enjoyed your posts and your words of encouragement more than you can know. Haunani and I crunched numbers, agreed on a budget, decided to include a Flip video camera in that budget (Dude, you would have too!), and drew some conclusions. This means that, after some tweaking, a few potential cities were axed. (Memphis, you know I love you. But it wasn’t in the cards.)
The skinny:
Haunani (my business partner) and I will drive to your town. We’ll probably make you giggle. We’ll spend a few hours discussing your business and your brand. (We guarantee two full hours.) Its strengths, weaknesses, and goals. What’s working and what isn’t. You’ll fill out the standard Brand Camp questionnaire for consulting ($149 per 30 minutes, when not on tour!), and we’ll rock your brand out.
We promise to play nicely with your kids and dogs if you promise to provide us with a place to sleep (hotel or your home, we’re not picky) and a meal (again, not picky!) in addition to our cost. You’ll be featured on the Brand Camp blog — with or without your name and website, of course — and we’ll make a fuss over just how much fun we had with you. Because you ARE fun. If you weren’t, you wouldn’t have volunteered.
The moola:
Traveling isn’t cheap, and neither is time spent away from our studio. Our visit costs $395. That will save us from having to hitchhike from place to place, compensate us for being away from our business for two weeks, and still be cost-effective enough that you can afford to have us over. (We’re better than a new lens. We’ll make you way more money.)
Your Brand Camp tour stop will include a copy of the Projection and Sales Merit Badge, an epic branding and business consultation, and some quality hang-out time to answer questions/pick our brains.

We’re asking that you reserve your date with a $100 deposit. CLICK TO DEPOSIT. Once the dates have been confirmed and visits finalized, we’ll ask for the balance of $295. If 10 people don’t get the guts to pony up, you’ll get a refund. Plain and simple.
Yes, you can reserve a night and then drive ten hours to get to that town. I don’t care where you live, I care about where I’ll meet you. So, if you’re in Orlando and you’re dying for help, drive to Jacksonville! Snag the date! No worries!
Reserve the date you want in the town you want, and the tour will happen. Nobody reserves, no tour happens. I am not Bon Jovi. Or even David Jay. There will be no tour bus with a 40×60 blowup of my face. Just two women arriving quietly, sipping lattes and helping to grow your business on a personal level.
It’s up to you to make this happen.

hehe.
Once upon a time I was a Girl Scout and enjoyed earning many merit badges. I've made a merit badge for grown-up photographer-people to make business stuff more fun.
