Wedding Photographer Marketing Ideas

I am definitely a professional photographer who learned a long time ago that making money in a business is not invariably about being the best. Sure you’ve got to be well qualified and be ready to do your job well but none of that matters if clients do not know you exist. Marketing is the key to getting new clients and staying in business. With the recession is full swing I assumed I should branch out and help other photographers in non competing markets stay before the game. I started my photography promotion web site. Sure I had plenty of great marketing and promotion ideas to list but I would have liked to have something aimed at marriage photographers. I would have liked to offer discounted travel and honeymoon packages that would be given away or sold at bridal shows. If youhave ever paid thousands to display at a giant bridal show you know how it feels to see not just a few but many potential cliens walk by your display as if you’re not there. Most likely because at least half those attending already have photography taken care of and have no real interest in comparing your services. I thought if you could add a great Honeymoon Travel Banner the the display you would attract your client what desires photography but also many of those who do n’t.
Benefits Include

  • Discount 4 -5 Star Hotels
  • Attract More Clients at Bridal Show
  • Best Price Almost 68% of The Time
  • Make Commissions for Travel Bookings
  • Discounted Flights

I found a discount travel program with two parts. One part is a superb travel site for self booking of flights, hostels, villas and cars. You could rent a Villa in France for a little less than it cost staying at an a local medium priced hotel for 2-3 days. After some research I was sold on the idea. The opposite side of the business is marketing. It is reliant on selling memberships and even offers lower priced travel bargains. Idid some more research and found real savings as much as $300.00 per head when I compared exact resorts and flights. Links are avvailable at my photography promotion site if you want more details.

Another superb deal were the promotional offers they had available. I could give my clients and potential clients a $25.00 Dining Certificate good at close to 12,000 restaurants and pay only $2.50 for the certificate. If you would like to make a client satisfied give them a present they can basically use and enjoy. As a side benefit when given out at trade shows I donot have to take names because upon registration for the gift token the information is sent direct to my email box. This was a win-win for everybody. This is not only a great travel site for marriage photographers needing extra promotion and earnings but the business traveler who wants a lower price and more selection on flights and hostels. Independent studies show that this site was the Best Price virtually 68% of the time when compared to famous travel discounters.

If somebody is looking for a ready to use business and have the determination to go out after new business thsi would be a great part-time venture and could turn into a fulltime profession inside a year or 2. Have a look and see what you believe.
