September 2009 |
Hello Hollye,
Fall is just around the corner, and as summer comes to a close, many businesses are building momentum to carry them through the end of the year. This is the perfect time to prepare for the months ahead, organizing and growing your business so you are ready to take advantage of the opportunities coming your way. In this newsletter I will present some simple tips that will help you have a successful fall season.
Our blog, RESOLVE, has been running a very valuable "Tip of the Week" series featuring 2-minute video interviews that teach tips ranging from social media marketing to pricing strategies. The interviews are with San Francisco-based destination event photographer Gene Higa. Gene is a very successful pioneer and offers tips that can apply to any creative service business.
Here are some highlights from Gene's series on RESOLVE:
Creating Twitter Buzz
I call Twitter marketing in my pocket."

Staying Inspired

Brian's site is the ultimate marketing hub for his photography business. In addition to his portfolios showcasing a wide range of work, Brian has also transformed some of his images into video pieces that easily catch visitors' eyes. A top tab called "Marketing" provides a selection of printable pdfs, including Brian's business card and recent work. This allows prospective clients to share his work conveniently with other decision makers. Brian also puts links to his social media network on his bio page to expand his online marketing presence.

Wild Things Photography's site proves that it's possible to have a dynamic Flash site that is still clean and easy to navigate. These Flash menu pages allow for very intuitive, interactive navigation. But the most entertaining part of visiting the site is still seeing John's amazing images of the natural world.

I have been with liveBooks for almost 3 years! While coming to liveBooks as an expert in the wedding industry, I have learned a ton about the commercial world by sitting on panels with creative directors and art buyers, by speaking to many of you on the phone and by swapping secrets with my counterparts who shoot commercially. I truly enjoy consulting entrepreneurs on how to grow their business.
Many photography operations are not keeping a close enough eye on where their business is coming from. Recently my wife posted some booking trends on our photography studio's blog: http://blog.emilieinc.net/2009/08/emilie-inc-2009-booking-trends.html Notice that we do contribute some of our success to innovative video that we have placed on our website!
I wanted to also showcase the workshop we are putting on next summer for the 3rd year! July 18th - 23rd, 2010 on Cape Cod... so looking forward to it already. Registration opens for the workshop on Sept 15th, 2009.
If you're into, or trying to get into social media marketing, I'd like to be connected with you. Follow me on
Twitter, link to me on
LinkedIn, befriend me on
Facebook (search Jason Sandifer) and follow my
blog.
