How to Book More Brides | Marketing Tips for Photographers

[@gabycaskey4080]

I just got a vendor referral last night from a planner looking to work with me again! It made me feel SO good knowing she was referring me to more clients after working together just once. This just further emphasized your point on highlighting your vendors, sharing their posts and keeping your business at front of mind for them!

[@Joymichelle]

Yes yes yes!! It’s such a powerful thing! Good for you! Congrats on the referral!

[@embeee2011]

I’m not a photographer, I have a wedding hair and makeup business but I love your vendor and social media marketing tips, videos, and how you communicate!

[@Joymichelle]

Thanks Se!!

Love the video, interested to see what you're experience is with facebook ads or anything that seems like a sure fire way to book brides. What has worked best for you that helps you feel like you're consistent and not getting behind on income?

[@Joymichelle]

Hi Jordan! I'm not big on paid advertising actually. I think so often photographers rush to paid forms without perfecting their content and the free platforms first. I will be talking about the paid ads I've done and how they worked over in the FB group too! Get the basics down and paid will covert SO much higher.

[@meganescheman6655]

So much wonderful content!!! I'm still messing around with my client experience (gifts/ something unique special to my brand). I've got most of the other stuff nailed down, but I'm still trying to find that thing to be above and beyond others!

[@Joymichelle]

Awesome!! Thanks for watching!

[@jcjenvaz]

amazing as always! I love marketing so much! but I love the results even better =}. I love your video channel!!

[@Joymichelle]

Ahaha I’m right there with ya! Thanks!!

[@ClaudiaGoodwin]

I love this so much! I am a total beginner, and right now I am working on creating a website! If you have any advice on creating one, how to market it correctly and make it seen, etc, I think that would be another awesome video!

[@Joymichelle]

You’re welcome!!

[@skiaddict08]

I have a big grudge against Facebook and Instagram for many reasons, I'm thinking Pinterest is the solution for me.

[@Joymichelle]

yeah!! Whats your pinterest plan right now? I've gotten clients from Pinterest before and I know photographers who have too. Are you using it?

[@skiaddict08]

@@Joymichelle Thanks for replying ;)) I love your videos and I like your Pinterest video! I do have Pinterest account but I'm still slow at figuring out how to do everything with it, it seems so complicated for some reason ;S I've just pinned other photographers work for inspiration, and haven't really shared any of my work yet. Instagram is the hottest right now, but the lack of an ability to upload from a computer puts a wrench in my gear, and I know more people using Pinterest more often than I do the 'gram.

[@Joymichelle]

@@skiaddict08 I hear ya! :) YES. Have you seen my Pinterest for Photographers video? That might help!!

[@skiaddict08]

​@@Joymichelle Thanks! Do you still feel pinterest is 'just as good' as instagram for photographers?
