Customers are the life blood of business. Are you doing everything you can do to attract new customers and hold on to the ones you have?

Marketing & business topics are the most needed topics for photographers today, yet are typically the most neglected. Why? Because photographers think of themselves as “artists”, not business people. This is the reason you should come to this program with a pen and note pad. Get ready to expand your mind, your client base, and your business with proven techniques for drawing customers to you.

During this program, we will look at many different ways of marketing and advertising. We’ll look at some successes, as well some failures. We’ll look at inexpensive marketing techniques and those that cost a fortune. We’ll even explore some rather radical methods for attracting clients.

Since photography is a luxury item and people don’t “need” it to survive, it’s our job to give them reasons to be photographed and reach them using creative ways to get their attention. This program will open the mind to the many ways one can market their business. Using various aspects of these tools, you will be able to custom design your own marketing program to fit your business’s needs.
