Photography as a Business

$300.00

Are you looking for ideas on how you can market yourself, your photography, and your business?  Look no further. The information you will learn from our courses will give you plenty of ideas on how to grow your business. Remember, just as with photography, you need to find the marketing techniques that fit your style.  To make it easy, I have divided the marketing tips into categories.  “Thank yous and gifts” – ways to tell your customers how important they are and how much you appreciate them.  These go a long way and are so easy to do.  The word of mouth marketing generated from past customers often is enough to have a successful business. “Get out there” will give you some ideas on how to get exposure in your community.  From Facebook to blogging, and from placements at local businesses to referral cards, these ideas will get more people knowing who you are and why they should hire you.
