On this week’s episode of the Shoot Your Shot Podcast, we dive into a new format! Instead of taking a call-in or question from our DM’s, we’re sharing our advice on how to attract and retain recurring clients. Whether you’re a wedding photographer or portrait photographer, we want to show you how it’s possible to maximize your impact to get current clients coming back for more. We emphasize the importance of offering diverse services, impressing not just clients but their guests, and building a mailing list for effective re-targeting. The conversation also covers the significance of sharing galleries with vendors and being open to new opportunities, even outside one's comfort zone. You may be surprised to learn, the solution is not to buy more gear.
