    23- Showing Up, Even When It's Busy

    This is the time of year that we become the squeaky wheel in your business; reminding you again and again to show up to do your marketing even when you are swamped with back-to-back sessions, endless edits, and the whirlwind of holiday planning and travel. We always strive to make your marketing quick and easy, but this month we are going the extra mile to give you low-lift marketing strategies to stay engaged with your clients during the busy holiday season by creating fun, entertaining content that builds relationships, rather than heavy sales pitches.

    22- The Value of Your Time

    We see it happen every year... photographers go into the busy season with the best intentions to not over-booking themselves but when push comes to shove it can be hard to say no.  This month we want to spend some time talking about the value of your time and coaching you on how you can still maintain boundaries for your healthy and sanity, even if you are in the phase of business where you feel like you have to say YES to every inquiry.  This months templates revolve around the very real deadlines that the holiday season impose on our time as well as suggestions for how to use that genuine scarcity mindset to encourage bookings.  Ready to join the Consistency Club and get more monthly content, along with Mad Libs-style email and social media templates just for photographers?

    21- Your Unique Value Proposition

    Now is the time! People need to get on your calendar! How are we going to encourage them? Instead of convincing them that they want photos, we're going to talk like we assume that - it's a foregone conclusion - and we're going to focus instead on why they should want to book YOU. A unique value proposition (UVP) is a clear, concise statement that describes the distinctive benefits and value that a product, service, or business offers to its customers, highlighting what makes it unique and better than competing options. It answers the question, "Why should a customer choose you over others?"
