For Flip-it! Users:

Dear Flip-it Users,

I had a dream about you. A customer called you and said, "I love your website. Are you a Demb Diffuser photographer?"

So far, this is still a dream. However, I hope that using my products has helped you realize YOUR dream of better pictures, more fun, and more profits.

I have always been a 'reflector guy', but after trying several different diffusion materials, I am convinced that some very beautiful lighting can be achieved with the right diffuser. Then I thought, "What if this could be attached to a Flip-it, be backed up by the Flip-it, be removable in two seconds, AND be able to be folded up & put in your pocket?" The design for the Demb Flash Diffuser Pro was born.

Those of you who are turned off by the concept of a 'light-thru' diffuser systems, and who chose Flip-it precisely because it is a reflector system are probably tuning out by now. That's fine. I understand, and I promise that Flip-it will always be available.

For those of you who have a healthy amount of skepticism, but are open to the idea of how a reflector and diffuser can work together, I have an offer for you. Just to be crystal clear. The two-part system will be sold under the Demb Flash Diffuser Pro name at http://www.dembflashdiffusers.com The retail price will be $29.95 + $4.50 shipping, world-wide. However, the new near-clear diffuser part will fit right on the strap of the Flip-it that you already own.

This new product needs exposure. I need customer examples. You want to try it. Let's get together for a win-win solution.

If you are a US user, send a self addressed stamped envelope (.39 stamp, business size #10) to Joe Demb, 59 Louise Rd., Belmont MA 02478-3922. I will send you, free of charge, the near-clear half, which will fit right on the strap of your Flip-it. (One to a user, please.)

For non-US users, just go to the ORDER page and send an order for shipping only (leaving the quantity blank will do this). ID yourself as a Flip-it! user in the comments box.

Try it, put it through your paces. If you love it, I am going to ask you to do 3 things for me. And I am going to do one additional thing for you.

  1. Post a message or reply to one of the big forums, http://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/ or http://www.dpreview.com/forums/ as well as any other forum to which you already subscribe. Miranda and dpreview are free. It takes only a few minutes to join up.
  2. Send a testimonial email to 3 friends. Hey, 5 is even better, if you want.
  3. Send me an Enhancer Pro image for my user gallery. Not a 'test' but one which you would use for an ad.

Do you remember that I said I wanted to do one additional thing for you? Here it is. I will put a link to your web site right with the image you send me for the gallery. This will give you world-wide exposure through my facility. Two-way links with my site are also a great idea. Plus, you may wish to establish links and personal contacts to other photographers whose photos appeal to you. (Like, "How did you use your Flash Diffuser Pro to get that gorgeous shot?") The whole link thing is optional, of course.

I'm excited about this offer. I hope you will want to participate. As always, I look forward to your comments and suggestions. In the meantime, I look forward to receiving your SASE's so I can get you in on the free offer. This offer is good until June 30, 2006.

Sincerely,

Joe Demb
