Overview
Regina Bailey, the powerhouse behind The RCP Team (Regina Calderone Photography), transformed her high-volume sports photography business by ditching outdated paper order forms and going fully digital with GotPhoto.
By streamlining her workflow with tools like the Entagged integration and Alkit print lab automation, Regina saw an incredible 300% revenue boost from 2023 to 2024—and then another 75% growth in just the spring season of 2025!
Meet The RCP Team
Regina and her team specialize in large-scale, high-volume youth sports photography, working with leagues and teams across Connecticut. Her mission? Make life easier for busy parents and volunteer organizers by offering an effortless photography experience from the photoshoot to final delivery.
The Challenges
Before going digital, Regina faced some major roadblocks:
- Manual Workload Overload: Using paper order forms meant wasted hours and inefficiency. “I would spend an entire day just trying to figure out the teams, and it was just complete nonsense what I was doing.”
- Slow Order Fulfillment: Weeks of back-and-forth with print labs stretched delivery timelines and tied up resources.
- Growth Bottlenecks: Manual processes made it nearly impossible to scale beyond a handful of small teams.
- Frustrated Customers: Parents had to deal with confusing ordering systems and long wait times for their photos.
The Game-Changing Solution
When Regina switched to GotPhoto, everything changed. Here’s how she scaled:
- End-to-End Digital Workflow: GotPhoto’s robust online platform and outsourcing options saved Regina “hours, days, probably weeks of time.”
- Entagged Integration: Initially hesitant, Regina found Entagged to be a breakthrough: “Entagged changed the game! There’s nothing to think about after uploading photos into GotPhoto – no resorting. It’s magical.”
- Seamless Lab Fulfillment: Automating fulfillment and direct-to-consumer shipping eliminated manual order handling.
- Automated Marketing: Regina used GotPhoto’s automated email campaigns and coupons to raise sales and excite parents to purchase.
- Smart Outsourcing: By letting GotPhoto handle post-production, Regina could focus on strategy and growth without sacrificing quality.
The Results
The numbers speak for themselves:
- Massive Revenue Growth: 300% revenue increase from 2023 to 2024, plus 75% more in 2025!
- More Free Time: “Sales come in, and within two days GotPhoto’s percentage comes out and money goes into my bank account. The fact that GotPhoto makes this so simple for sales is my number one.”
- Streamlined Workflows: No more delivery headaches or manual sorting—just smooth, automated processes.
- Happier Customers: Parents love the simple ordering process and fast home delivery; league organizers appreciate the all-in-one service!
