You have a great product and know exactly where you can sell it.  You just can’t seem to get the word out no matter what you do.  Here are a few simple tricks to try and get your name and photography business out there.

1.  Make the time

Set aside the time and ear-mark it specifically for “marketing time".  It’s a very basic and simple concept, but many people don’t schedule the time and marketing falls through the cracks.

2.  Ask other photographers

Don’t go out and re-invent the wheel.  Photographers, in general, are incredibly helpful especially when it comes to nuturing budding photographers.  Ask about the pitfalls, barrieres, and obstacles they faced.  Intimidated by asking someone local?  Phone someone in another similar-sized city.

3.  Branding

Develop a “style” about your business and stick to it.  Develop a logo and simple catch-phrase to use in promotions and advertising.

4.  Start Today

Most people spend their time planning rather than doing.  Don’t fall into this trap.  Plan . . . Yes, but also get out there and get started.
