This has all been helpful, guys, thanks! A more pointed question now: Would you ever avail yourself of the services of a caterer/personal chef for fancy dinners with your hottie, parties, or ...

possibly btw one wedding I shot, i talked with the caterer for quite a bit she said they just very recently did a dinner for a party of 4 the pres of Commerce Bank, his wife, and 2 guests ...

I completely agree. But the problem is, how do I get to the point where I know people like that? How do I market to that audience?

lol yeah, something i'm still trying to figure out haha

getting involved with a good marketing firm helps

advertising in the right places in your area - you gotta spend money to make money - but yeah it takes a lot of work too just to figure out WHERE to spend your advertising money

oy

it's hard work

Find out about charitable events in your area...
or any prestigious event..

You usually can get lists of attendees from those things..
From there... shoot them a letter.

charitable events meaning... people paying 1000 dollar a plate for 3rd nipple syndrome or something

How would I get a list of attendees?

say you're starting a benefit for hurricane katrina victims and want to find people in your area who have the appropriate amount of money

Or I could just drive down the streets with the largest houses and get names off mailboxes...

I was just gonna say that, lol. or you could get ahold of some addresses of large companies and send out post card adverts.
