Canvera Launches "Recommend a Photographer" Service


Bangalore, Karnataka, India, Monday, October 03, 2011 -- (Business Wire India) -- Canvera.com, India's leading online photography company, today launched a unique service to connect consumers and businesses with professional photographers. This service called "Recommend a Photographer" allows anyone looking to hire professionals to specify their needs on Canvera.com. Canvera will then research the market and provide recommended matches given the specified needs. "We are constantly receiving informal queries through various channels for these recommendations so we decided to test this as a formal service to understand market needs," says Dhiraj Kacker, CEO of Canvera. "This is a pilot service at present, and depending on the response, we may decide to build an online searchable database of professionals and make this a self-service search for consumers and businesses. We think this pairing of prospective clients with professionals is an unaddressed need and we are excited about testing the market potential of this offering". This service can be accessed from http://www.canvera.com/referaphotographer/
