Photography marketing involves implementing strategic
Photography marketing involves implementing strategic techniques to promote and showcase the unique artistic vision, skills, and services of photographers, captivating clients and audiences with compelling visuals that leave a lasting impression.
Whether you're just starting out or have a business that's been around for a while, it's important to make a marketing plan that spells out your goals and what you need to do to reach them. Marketing plans can help you order the steps you need to take, give you an idea of how much they might cost, and point you in the right direction.
1. Learn about the market and figure out what kind of photography you are good at.
If you want to sell yourself well, you'll need to think about what you know and what skills you have. Marketing is all about standing out from your competitors and showing people why they should hire you instead of someone else.
The first step is to figure out what makes your work different and who you are fighting against.
Pick a specialization.
Even if you like all kinds of shooting, it's best to pick one to specialize in. If your portfolio is full of every type of photography under the sun, it may send the message to clients that you don't have a specific style or that you haven't learned the type of photography they want.
How good are you with animals? You could try taking pictures of pets or wildlife. Have a strong group of business contacts? Think about specializing in headshots and business events if you want to do portrait photography. Are you a die-hard sports fan? Start taking pictures of sports.
If you choose a niche, or area of expertise, you can become a recognized expert in that field. It also gives you a great place to start building your marketing plan, since you can narrow down your target group and focus on more specific messaging.
Make sure that whatever area you choose has room to grow and can change as the market does.
Find out what makes you different.
When looking at your genre choices, it's important to choose a specialty that you enjoy, fits your unique skills, and can help you be successful. You should also take advantage of anything that makes you different from your competitors.
For example, if you want to be known as a wedding photographer, you need to decide what kinds of weddings you want to shoot. Do you do better with artificial light or natural light? Are you ready to go somewhere? Do you like standard style or photojournalism?
When you think about this question, think about what you do well. If you are good at catching small details or love black-and-white photos, think about how you could use this to build your business.
Find out who you are up against.
It's always smart to check out your competition. But you shouldn't let what other people do scare you. For example, just because there are a lot of family picture photographers in your area doesn't mean you have to choose a different genre. Instead, think of ways to take family photos from a different point of view.
You can also look at the prices of your competitors to help you figure out how to set your own prices. Is your goal to be competitive, to have the best price in your area, or to have the lowest price? Always keep in mind who you want to sell to. For the best results, your prices should match your dream client.
2. Find your target group.
When you don't know who your market is, it's hard to sell yourself. When you're ready to market, you'll know where to start if you know who you're talking to.
Who is your perfect customer?
Think about who you might want to offer your skills to. It can be helpful to come up with a few different "ideal client" personas so you can think about what kind of message might work with them.
Are they mostly men, mostly women, or a mix of both? What age group has the most people? Where can you find them? Which sites do they go to?
You should also think about whether your target market is big enough to keep you going. How many people in your area might need your services, and how much money will you make from each session? Be conservative with your estimates, and never plan for the long run based on clients who come back to you.
