Do you identify with any of the following pains?

Poor Ad results

Cold outreach plays a huge part in a studio’s marketing so it’s vital to get your Ad marketing right. We know how your ideal clients think and what attracts them to your business.

Low booking rates

We aim for a 20% lead-to-booking rate. We know how to qualify leads and have the processes and scripts to nurture them into becoming a booking.

Lack of direction

We work with solo photographers, partnerships, and large studios but our business coach helps all types of photographers realise the type of business they want to build.

No time to market

You want to spend your time shooting more portraits. Making Ad content, learning methods, and keeping up with algorithms eat into your time and often creates an inconsistent flow of leads.

Low customer spends

Have you got the advantage in the salesroom? Increasing your average customer spend allows you to build a sustainable marketing model and fills your pockets.

Losing motivation

The pains and failures of running a business can simply be exhausting mentally and physically – believe us, we know the feeling. Once again, our business coach is on hand to support you.

What will we cover?

Marketing is a broad subject and many photographers are only taught a single “working formula.” We’ll cover all areas of marketing in your Free Strategy Sesion.

Your current process

For us to truly help we need to understand what you’re doing and what you’ve been trying.

Plug the gaps

With our wide marketing knowledge we know all kinds of strategies and platforms to address any of your problems.

Facebook Ads

Facebook Ads are likely to be the bulk of your strategy. When campaigns are set up correctly, the returns can be larger than most industries.

Know your numbers

To sustainably grow your business you MUST know your numbers. We’ll help you work these out and find areas to improve them.

Identify the problems

We’ll pick through your process and see if we can find areas that might be having a negative impact.

Plan for success

We like to understand why you do what you do. This motivates us both, to find the best ways to build your dream photography business.

SEO

SEO is an ignored area of marketing within the photography industry. Discover what it takes to rise up in Google.

Convert more leads

We can teach you how to market but at the of the day, if you can’t convert then you won’t see improvement. We’ll cover some strategies in your session.
