It\u2019s an amazing benefit that photographers have over almost every other type of company. The cost to purchase Ad Words to gain website traffic would be more than most photographers make in a year. Why don’t\u00a0all photographers post images online\u00a0then? I think there are a couple of factors involved:<\/p>\n
1.<\/strong> Photographers are artists not marketers \u2013 the same reason a lot of people can\u2019t shoot great photos. (Like Me)<\/p>\n 2.<\/strong> Some of today\u2019s great photographers, who have become speakers, tell other photographers not to post images\u00a0online – (now we are back to listening to artists not marketers). Face to face sales are important, but not all events present a face-to-face opportunity, you have got to do both online and direct sales.<\/p>\n 3.<\/strong> Photographers think just posting images on Facebook will be good enough, but it only works well for a day or two until the photos get the buried. Facebook posting does not even come close to having the same impact as posting on a professional looking cart. My suggestion is to use Facebook to make a post with a link to the images in your cart. Facebook is great for a lot of things, but not for a company using it for its only online connection.<\/p>\n
