May 1, 2017 Raymond Hatfield
wedding-marketing-consultant

Heidi Thompson is a business and marketing strategist for wedding professionals. One of the biggest problems she sees photographers having is not working with the ideal client so she litter. The ideal client is more than just being able to charge more for your photography, it's being able to charge what you are worth to people who will then go shout your name from the rooftops about how great you are! Heidi breaks it down into easy to understand ideas that are sure to help make photography more rewarding and fulfilling for you!

In todays episode you'll learn:

  • How Heidi helps wedding professionals

  • Using Social media for wedding photographers

  • Tips on optimizing your website to find out where your clients are coming from

  • Why "Engaged women" or "Moms" isnt a defined enough ideal client

  • Why you are marketing to someones personality rather than the demographic they fit in

  • Why you don't want to work with EVERYONE

  • How you can find an ideal client even if you have never had a client

  • Why asking what brands they like is such an important question

  • How knowing what your clients pain points are will help you speak to them

Quotes:

Market to someones personality rather than their demographic

We make connections with people not businesses 

You have to think of your marketing as a magnet

You cant have anyone rave about you without someone else not that into you

Find out why they are passionate about the brands they love

Even if someone is spending alot of money on their wedding, it doesnt mean they speak like a perfume ad
