Family ties
With the holidays just around the corner, this is the perfect time
to spend time with your loved ones and extended family. Many
customers would love to have family portraits done, but do not
think of it until the holidays are upon them. Be proactive, by
reaching out to your existing client base ahead of the holidays
and see if they would like a special family portrait session. Many
times, this will be one of the few times that extended family
comes together. They will appreciate your thoughtfulness in
remembering them.
Another good way to generate excitement around the holidays
is to offer a special, limited offer, such as a one or two-day
photography session. You can include special backgrounds and
props that are not available any other time of the year. Combine
that with the savings from our 12 Days of Christmas Sale this
month, and you have a winning combination.
