“Mid-South is in a class of their own!”
“We’ve worked with many labs over the past 45 years, but Mid-South is in a class of their own! Their color quality, print density and reproduction of skin tones are above any other and the quality on their canvasing is an art piece in itself. They’re just beautiful! True artistry, craftsmanship and care go into their products and services and we are so blessed to have them be apart of what we create for our clients. World Class!”
“I chose them because they were the best.”
“Mid-South Color Lab is an invaluable partner for me. Having worked in the industry for almost 30 years now, and used a variety of labs out there, I can say that the personal customer service is absolutely unique among photographic labs in our industry. Brooks, Dirk and the rest of the team are so personable and care so much about our relationship. Also, being one of the most expensive portrait photographers in the country, I absolutely must have quality at the highest level without compromise. With Mid-South, I know I will get that every time. The quality is second to none.
“When my long-time lab closed their doors, I embarked upon a long and arduous search for the best lab in the country to meet my needs. In the end, I did not choose Mid-South because they were the cheapest, I chose them because they were the best. Everything that has followed that decision has absolutely surpassed my highest expectations. It was the best business decision I have made in a very long time.”
“I have found my team–Mid-South Color Labs”
“The day I started working with Mid-South Color Labs was the day my life in the studio improved. Changing labs has never been easy but the switch to Mid-South could not have been easier. From day one, their service has been incredible! Whenever I call with a special request or a problem that I have created, customer service has always said ‘We can take care of that, do not worry about it.’ On top of this great service is their fantastic print quality and turn around time. It is so nice to find a lab that is concerned about my satisfaction. As a high-end studio, I need a team behind me working and delivering the finest portraits that can be produced. I have found my team–Mid-South Color Labs. Thank you Mid-South for being there and making my portraits look their very best.”
“I don’t have to settle for good enough.”
“For me, what I love about portrait photography is the never ending creative process. Working diligently to perfect design, lighting and posing is what I want to concentrate on. Mid-South Color allows me that freedom as they take care of perfecting the beauty of the final image. Knowing and trusting Brooks and his amazing team to personally watch my orders and tweak where needed guarantees me the perfectly printed portrait. Each photographer has their own vision of what the finished canvas should look like. Mid-South doesn’t limit me to a drop-down box with three options in finishing, instead they worked with me to find the perfect canvas and spray combination to complete my vision. My clients choose me because they desire a style that I create, they return because we exceed their expectations with quality.”
“A staff that will treat you like family.”
“Finding Brooks Clayton and his staff at Mid-South Color has been an incredible blessing on many different levels. Creating top quality products for our art savvy clientele takes a team of dedicated professionals. We consider our lab to be a critical member of our team and Mid-South is the perfect fit. Brooks personally worked with us to create unique repeatable processes and products that communicated the WOW factor we were trying to achieve. He has developed and trained a highly skilled and personable staff that will treat you like family. It is a rarity to find such a skilled quality conscious business that cares about their clients.”

How To Sell Value Over Price
In a saturated market where potential clients often make decisions based on price alone, shifting the conversation toward value instead of cost is crucial. Focusing confidently on the quality of your services, rather than competing on price, requires preparation and practice. Peter Drucker wisely stated, “Before price can be discussed, value must be understood.” By highlighting your unique value, you position your services as an investment rather than a commodity.
