<\/a>\nFor example:<\/p>\n
\u201cThank you Mr. Connors! We appreciate your order and we hope you love your new photo. It was a lot of fun at Johnny and Linda\u2019s wedding, they sure are a wonderful couple. If you have any questions or you would like to see other products, such as Christmas cards, framing etc., that we can design with your photos, give us a call!<\/p>\n
Also, I want to let you know we are a full Portrait, Senior, and Family Photography Studio. Here is a coupon towards a family portrait session, our regular cost is $495.00 and this coupon will make it only $100.00. It\u2019s a way to show you more of our work and earn your future photography needs. Because at Happy Photo we love to make memories!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThank you from all of us at Happy Photo\u201d (Maybe have the staff all sign the card.)<\/p>\n
It is very important to send the thank you with the product, not after and not in an email! (beware of drop shipping from lab) If you must drop ship, try to get your lab to add your thank you.<\/p>\n
There are many other areas you can tighten up the way you treat people. Keep your eyes open as you go about your day. One year when I had my catering business I told myself, \u201cI\u2019m sticking to my prices this year!\u201d Not more than a week later I received a call from a bride to ask about our services. She said she heard great things about us. She knew what she wanted, and told me she had already called another catering company. They gave her a price of $8.50 per person. I had to bite my lip not to price match. So I told her, \u201cI\u2019m not your caterer\u201d and she said, \u201cWhy\u201d? I told her our price would be $12.50 per person, though I would do $12.00. Then, I waited for an answer and after a moment she said, great, where do I send the deposit. I kept true to my decision, and with a smile on my face the whole time, it paid off!<\/p>\n
Bottom line, always answer your phone, (80% of people go with the first person they have talked to) keep the tune throughout your conversation. Many people may start out with \u201cHow much do you charge\u201d. You might say something like, \u201cBecause there are so many variables, let\u2019s get together and discuss your needs and see if I\u2019m even a good fit. Knowing the variables will determine the prices.\u201d<\/p>\n
If you do not want to be the cheapest company in town, do not be cheap yourself. Customers notice these things\u2026 if you do not want to pay for something of value why would they? I say that because some photographers will try to get the cheapest deal on everything. We all do this to a point, though it seems photographers take it way over board. Spend money on your Brand \u2013 Logo \u2013 Website \u2013 even the way you dress \u2013 create beautiful example albums \u2013 these are things that will make you and your business shine!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
