» promote your photography business

Want to put your photography business ahead of the competition when it comes to building relationships, getting more calls, and booking more clients?  Looking for a relatively inexpensive way to market your photography business?  Look no further than your video camera.

Promotional videos are becoming more popular, and for good reason.  If you want potential clients to be able to see you working and interacting with clients, video is the way to go.  You can also speak directly to potential clients through video.  This gives them the feeling that they already know you before they call.  Video is also a great way to show off your still images, and can easily be embedded into your website or blog.  Check out the promo videos below.  One is very simple, the other more complex.  Both of them are a great way to get more business.

If you are new to video, start out with an inexpensive flip video camera and have a friend shoot you during a session. Set it to music and include some still shots (using windows movie maker or whatever came with your computer). There’s your first video.

Hi Everyone!

I came across this EXCELLENT video from Linnea Lenkus and wanted to share it with you.  Her work is beautiful, but I wanted to focus on the promotional aspect of this video.  It shows her working with clients, clients are interviewed, and the final portraits are shown.  It features babies, pets, maternity, couples and families.  Do you think you would get more business by creating a video like this and posting it on your website?  You bet you would!  Take a look, get some ideas, find some clients to interview, and make your own video.  And when you are ready for some photography business coaching, go to www.shuttermomuniversity.com.  Thanks and enjoy!
