POPCOM lauds LGUs’ efforts in implementing family planning programs

#PHinfo: POPCOM lauds LGUs’ efforts in implementing family planning programs

CALOOCAN CITY, Dec. 2 (PIA) --The Commission on Population and Development (POPCOM) is acknowledging the efforts of local government units (LGUs) nationwide in elevating the number of Filipinos currently availing of family planning, as evidenced from the latest annual report of the Responsible Parenthood and Reproductive Health Act of 2012, or the RPRH Law.

POPCOM revealed the RPRH Law has resulted in a two-fold increase in the number of family planning service clients in the Philippines: from 4 million married women of reproductive age, or WRA, who use modern family planning methods during the enactment of the law, to about 8 million in 2019.

The annual accomplishment report cites that the 2019 modern contraceptive prevalence rate for all women was projected at 58%, or around 7.8 million women, as modern family planning users—almost within target of the Philippine Development Plan, which is 60% to 65%. As such, it is deemed that 2.8 million unintended pregnancies, 669,000 unsafe abortions and 1,470 maternal deaths were averted.

Undersecretary Juan Antonio A. Perez III, MD , Executive Director of the Commission on Population and Development (POPCOM)

The Family Planning Spending Assessment study states that nationwide spending for family planning in 2019 was about P1.9 billion. For FP funding, municipalities used about 63% of total expenditures; cities at 26%; and provinces, 11%. POPCOM also aids in continuous funding and institutionalization of family planning strategies by providing technical assistance, information, services and grants to LGUs.

According to Undersecretary Juan Antonio Perez III, it is within LGUs that family planning programs and services are activated, with local-based doctors, nurses, midwives, population officers, barangay health and population volunteers in health centers/service delivery networks as enablers. Without these partners and their facilities, the goals and provisions on family planning based on the RPRH Law would otherwise be ineffective.

“LGUs’ undertakings and participation in family planning programs have a positive impact on a household’s income, as one with an ideal size of about two to three children will have sufficient financial resources to provide for every member such as food, shelter, education for the kids. A well-provided family therefore contributes to poverty amelioration,” POPCOM’s executive director said.

“In a macroeconomic view, it contributes to overall national development, where families do not have to always rely on the government to provide for their everyday necessities; thus, funds can be allocated for other basic services,” Perez said.

"Aside from family planning, LGUs also are instrumental in helping agencies facilitate the fulfillment of four other key programs of the RPRH Law.," he added.

For maternal, neonatal, child health and nutrition, postpartum visits have improved from 57% in 2018 to 62% in 2019, while the antenatal care rate increased from 53% to 58% in the said period. The DOH also revealed an increase in the usage of maternal health-care services such as antenatal care, postpartum visits, facility-based delivery and skilled-birth attendance in the past five years. Local health facilities have been upgraded and managed by a total of 22,730 health professionals by end of 2019.

On adolescent sexual and reproductive health (ASRH), there was a rise in maternal care and other health services for adolescent mothers, despite the recent climb in numbers on very young adolescent pregnancies in the 10-14 age group. Advocacy on ASRH in 2019 has reached a total of 351,362 adolescents. LGUs have also supported programs by hosting ASRH learning sessions, demand-generation activities, POPCOM-led health-summits and youth camps, classes, as well as talks and lectures vital in tackling early child births and repeat incidences.

For sexually transmitted infections and HIV/AIDS, 10,287 out of 12,778 newly diagnosed HIV cases in the country are currently enrolled in the anti-retroviral treatment programs, which are available at DOH-designated treatment hubs. LGUs have likewise accommodated teaching sessions in communities as a key strategy to reach set targets. They have also helped establish about 153 social hygiene clinics across the country, which provide health care, including HIV prevention, testing and treatment services, primarily to key affected populations.

With regard to the elimination of violence against women and children, there has been an increase in the number of local mechanisms responding to such cases, with 127 (87%) of 145 cities and 1,237 (83%) of 1,489 municipalities having established Local Committees on Antitrafficking and VAWCs as of 2019. In the provinces, 57 (70%) of the 81 provinces have opened their version of the said committees—an improvement from the past year’s 45, or 56%. The DOH’s Women and Children Protection Program also had a total of 120 women and children protection units in 57 provinces and 10 chartered cities.

The Department of the Interior and Local Government’s 2019 assessment report showed that 38,824 out of 42,045 barangays, or 92%, have established VAWC desks—an improvement from 2018’s 29,929, or 71%. Out of those assessed, 53% fall under “mature level;” 22% as “progressive level;” 19%, “ideal;” and 5%, “basic.”

Partnership with LGUs: To complement the energies exerted by LGUs, Perez committed that the 300-plus-strong personnel of POPCOM across the Philippines remain ready to assist—and even lead—efforts on the ground and in the grassroots level to implement family planning and related health programs that were impeded with the surge in the number of Covid-19-related services.

“In the spirit of inclusivity in terms of service provision, we will be working closely with the LGUs to ensure that no Filipino will be left behind,” Perez said.

“POPCOM is able, ready and willing to go the extra mile with local governments to lend a hand, especially the marginalized and disadvantaged in society, true to our calling of empowering Filipino families,” he added.

The POPCOM chief also renewed the agency’s call to local chief executives and barangay captains to factor-in the disadvantaged members of society in rolling out their services. According to the government agency, the above-mentioned include women and girls, the elderly, indigenous peoples, and the like, who may easily be left out because of limitations imposed by the series of quarantines, or physical barriers such as geography or lack of facilities to reach those who may be unable to lead normal, healthy and productive lives due to the ongoing health crisis.

“That said, we again make an appeal to our local leaders to always include in their works women of reproductive age—especially those who are pregnant, and the youth—particularly young girls who may fall victim to teenage pregnancies, financially-challenged families, and the elderly, most specifically those who are living by themselves or who have comorbid diseases to COVID-19,” he requested.

Aside from LGUs, the agency attributes the hike in numbers to the complementary work of national government agencies, and civil society organizations nationwide, with which POPCOM closely collaborates to execute family planning strategies and programs across the country. (POPCOM/PIA-NCR)

Maternity Photography Pricing Advice to Maximize Revenue

Pricing is always a tricky topic in photography, more art than science with no definitive, one-size-fits-all approach. Pricing too low might get clients in the door but might lead to low margins. Pricing too high can increase margins but limit your number of bookings. So how much should you charge for maternity photography?

To help, here are six tips on maternity photography pricing:

1. Understand IPS Vs. Shoot And Burn

When it comes to maternity photography pricing, there are generally two different models: the IPS (In-Person Sales) model and the “Shoot and Burn” model.

The IPS model starts with a low sitting fee, i.e $100-$250, and all digital files, prints, wall art, and albums are sold independently. There are variations to this, such as offering limited prints or limited digitals with the sitting fee. Generally, this model relies heavily on conveying to the client the value of printed products and having them purchase those products from you immediately after the shoot. You can find more in-depth information on this topic in our S3: Shooting Stories That Sell Workshop.

On the other side, you have the shoot and burn (or “shoot and share”) photography pricing model. In this model, the fee includes the photo session as well as a disc, flash drive, or online gallery loaded with all of the images from the shoot. Whichever route you choose, there’s definitely a market for each pricing model.

2. Don’t Switch Pricing Models

If your clients are used to a shoot and burn model for other photo services you offer, you need to stick to it. Otherwise, switching up pricing models will likely make the client feel they’re being pressured into buying something that they don’t really want or need. It’s okay to make the initial switch from one pricing model to the other across all of your photo services, but understand that you may still have some pushback from return clients after the switch.

3. Use the cost-based approach

When determining your prices, be sure to factor in all of your costs, including the time you put into preparing your gear, driving, setting up, post-producing, and more. Also, and this is important, be sure to factor in taxes and operating business expenses. The last thing you want is to underestimate your time and expenses and then get a surprise tax bill when tax season rolls around.

Use these costs, along with your estimates of revenue and the number of shoots, to estimate your annual income. Does this number meet or exceed your needs and goals? If not, you may need to increase your package pricing and/or find ways to cut your costs.

4. Understand that photography is a luxury good

Photography, as a product/service, is a luxury good. In Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, photography sits along the top of the pyramid among other self-fulfilling needs, quite a distance away from basic needs like food, water, shelter, etc.

This is important to understand in terms of creating an experience that adds value to the base product you offer, which is photos of your clients. Clients may not need your photos, but with careful research and planning, you can design an experience that conveys value and shows how your photos will improve your clients’ lives. Helping your clients find value in your product will also help to justify your prices.

5. Create A Target Market Persona

Before you can design a client experience, you need to know who your ideal client is. You know she’s expecting a baby, but what else do you know about her?

When imagining your ideal clients, consider the type of cars they drive, the clothes they wear, the foods they eat, and the activities they engage in for fun. This fictional persona will allow you to take a close look at your target market’s brand preferences and examine how those brands are reaching your target audience. What you’ll find, more often than not, is that other brands are selling an idea of how their products lend themselves to their target audience’s ideal lifestyle (how they’ll feel driving a specific car or how they’ll look wearing a particular jacket, carrying a designer hand bag, etc.).

Use this information to help design the perfect experience for your client.

6. Do Your Competitor Research

One way to help determine your pricing is to look at what your competitors are charging for their maternity photography services. The key here, however, is distinguishing between your direct and indirect competitors so that you can arrive at a more accurate price range.

To help identify your direct competitors, consider how difficult or easy it is to differentiate between the maternity photography styles in which both of you shoot. Do you both shoot dramatic portraits against elaborate studio backdrops, or does one of you tend to shoot in a more bright-and-airy outdoors style? Those who shoot in a similar style within the same genre of photography are direct competitors. If the only thing differentiating your service from that of your competitors is price, then it’s likely most clients will choose the cheaper option.

Once you’ve identified your direct competitors, you can also perform a S.W.O.T. analysis to compare your competitors’ strengths and weaknesses with yours and then make adjustments to make your business stand out as the go-to in the maternity photography genre. What you’re mainly looking for in this analysis is to see where your business stands in terms of your product quality, web presence, SEO, and content marketing.

7. Understand Your Opportunity Costs

It’s easy to overlook opportunity costs, but identifying them can help ensure you’re on the right track with the pricing model and rates you’ve chosen. To determine your opportunity costs, compare the amount of money you expect to earn from your chosen maternity photography pricing model against the potential earnings from other types of shoots.

For example, if you’re making $1,000 for an engagement session and only $500 for a maternity session, you might consider increasing the price for your maternity sessions, even if that leads to fewer bookings. Of course if you have plenty of room in you schedule for both, you might not change your pricing; but if your lower maternity photography revenue is preventing you from getting your higher engagement session revenue, adjust prices accordingly so you’re getting compensated equally for your time.

8. Present value In All Pricing Packages

After you’ve determined your costs and set revenue goals for your maternity photography services, you can create pricing packages that will allow you to meet your goals while also presenting value to your clients, no matter which package they choose.

When pricing your packages, beware of price relativity. You’ll notice in the image above, we’ve presented three packages. If we only offered a single option (let’s say package two, our desired sell), some potential clients might find the package too expensive and they may look elsewhere without getting to know more about your services. However, with multiple pricing options, what once seemed too expensive (package II) may not seem as such when placed next to an even more expensive option (package III). Plus, there will be a percentage of clients who do choose the most expensive package, so it’s beneficial to offer that option as well.

Conclusion

While pricing can prove tricky with so many variables to consider, there are clear steps you can take to arrive at a functional, profitable price. Here’s a quick recap of the photography pricing tips we shared in this article:

Understand IPS vs. Shoot and Burn

Don’t switch pricing models

Use the cost-based approach

Understand that photography is a luxury good

Create a target market persona

Do your competitor research

Understand your opportunity costs

Present value in all pricing packages
