iphone app updated Save the Date: Volume Photography Education classes Schools + Sports November/December Calendar Blog Spot Discontinued Products 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.
