Marketing for Chicago Wedding Photographer

First thing first, a website is amazing marketing tool for the Chicago wedding photographer. In this day and age of Internet surfing, their computer is the first place many people go to find anything. A well designed virtual space is a great start in having your work seen. Even if you had to hire someone to build the site, you would still have creative license over what material went on it. Your web page designer could provide the photographer with a place to display a gallery of previous wedding photos. That is what people really want to see. They want to know that the wedding pictures will look beautiful and be a treasure for always. This is also a great media for providing future clients with a general pricing guide. Don?t forget contact information and hours of availability.

It seems like a no brainer, but never underestimate the worth of a bridal convention. Sure there are other Chicago wedding photographers there, but this gives potential clients the chance to see if their personality and photo preferences match their chosen photographer. After all, no bride or groom wants to spend their wedding day arguing over pictures with the photographer. A pleasant, easy going demeanor will go further in attracting new customers than a whole wall full of perfect pictures, though that helps too.

Like many small businesses, some of the most important marketing you can do is referrals from previous clients. New brides like nothing better than to talk about their weddings and you can be sure they will mention the photographer. For better or for worse, your name will be mentioned and if the bride or mother in law goes on about what a great job you did, you can be sure their friends are going to give you a call. Providing just a few couples with stellar quality wedding photos at a reasonable price can almost guarantee your success as a Chicago wedding photographer.

People don?t become Chicago wedding photographers because they don?t like weddings. Get your name out there on the Internet, take a full page phone book page if you can, and enjoy the word of mouth referrals you get just because you have satisfied customers. Using some or all of these tips could have you taking the pictures of beautiful, happy brides and grooms for a long time to come.
