“How do I get more clients?”  That is THE SINGLE most asked question in the photography industry.

While it’s still essential to have the pillars of your business in great shape: website, client experience and education, pricing, and the work itself…even if ALL of those things are top notch most of us mere mortals still have to put on our marketing cap to drum up new clients.

I sure have a treat for you.  Kirstie McConnell of Bitsa Bernard Photography (link: http://bitsabernard.com.au/) in beautiful Adelaide, Australia took the time to chat with me to pull back the cover on an INCREDIBLE marketing promotion that she recently completed.

How does 400 new leads, 25 new clients on your books, and $7500 profit in the first week of shoots alone sound?

Oh, that sounds good?  Well, give yourself 20 minutes and take a listen…

  • The #1 thing you need to know BEFORE setting your prices

    Very helpful! Still trying to figure out how to tweak it for those of us who don’t have enough high-end customers yet with friends to rope in;) Perhaps we do a contest through a Facebook paid promo?

    What is the automation system you mention? I’m not familiar with it (or I couldn’t catch the name…).

      Hi Jill, Yes! I would do a contest of some kind…allow people to nominate their own dogs and get votes for them. (just keep an eye on Facebook’s terms for contests) . Zapier.com is the automation tool…it’s incredible!

    Thank you so much for this info! I’m actually getting ready to kick off on my own but I have one question: For the $400 voucher, did you treat it the same as the $1000 voucher as far as deducting the session fee first and using the balance as a product credit? Or was the shoot completely free and then there was a full $400 product credit? Thank you again!
