Photography Marketing & Sales

Photography Marketing & Sales is the cornerstone to any successful photography business. If you can’t sell your work, you probably aren’t going to make it as a business owner.

Many photographers mistakenly believe that a successful photography business is based on excellent photography skills alone. In order to thrive as a photo business owner, you must focus on sales and marketing. As a wedding photographer, you must learn how to book weddings. Sales is the lifeblood of your business, and marketing is the fuel to feed it. Photography marketing is not something you do once a year, but should be a consistent part of your business approach.

Marketing is something that needs to be built into your yearly plan and worked on throughout the year. It has a single purpose, and that is to bring you leads. Bringing in new clients is part one of sales. The other part of sales is creating new and appealing products to offer to your clients. Not only do they get great enjoyment of the images you have created, you also earn more profit, which helps you stay in business. For wedding photographers, album sales is a big piece of the after sales pie.

How to Book Weddings

There is an art to booking weddings. New clients do not simply walk in the door begging to hire you, no matter how good you are or how strong your reputation is. You have to work for every new client. Marketing will lead to inquiries and leads, but how do you actually turn those leads into booked weddings?
