Photographer - Need More Business? Try These Marketing Ideas

Just like in any business getting customers can be one of the most difficult tasks. Listed below are a few proven techniques to expand your business.

Forums

Forums are online message boards that are targeted to your industry. Here people can post a comment or a question about digital wedding photography and others can answer those question. When you answer post or answer a question your bio box will appear and people will visit your website from the forum.

Free Classified Ad Sites

Have you heard of Craigslist.com? Craigslist is the largest online free classified ad listing website. Simply find your category; for example professional services > digital photography wedding and post your ad. Other popular sites are BackPage.com, Kijiji.com, OLX.com, and Oodle.com. Because these services are free they have lots of competition so make sure you place your ads consistently at least 3 to 4 times per day.

Traditional Media

Well not much has to be said with traditional media. This type of media would include newspaper, magazines, TV and radio. Very expensive but may be well worth it depending on your community.

Bridal Wedding Expos

Bridal wedding expos are a great place to get face to face with a very targeted audience. Many brides will walk down the ales looking for a dress, flowers, and a digital wedding photographer. Your booth should include your business cards, samples of your works, and most importantly you should capture prospect names, phone number and email. Remember the money is in the list so make sure you get that email.

Referrals

There is no better prospect than that of a referral. A referral means that someone has recommend you to that person because they trust you and know your work. Often times it’s just a matter of getting the appointment time for the engagement session and endorsing the agreement. Always ask for referrals from your satisfied customers.
