Why Are So Many Photography Businesses Failing?
I don’t know about you, but every time I log into Facebook lately I see photography and other creative businesses failing, struggling, and ultimately shutting their doors. From album companies to wedding venues to cake makers to stylists. The wedding world is changing and we can’t ignore it anymore. When I see the posts I want to reach out and help them see what they aren’t seeing. The truth is that the business owner feels like they have done everything they could have done to save their business and that there is nothing left to do but shut the doors. They feel helpless, alone, poor, and like they have completely failed. Have you felt like that in your business? Are you worried about the future of your business?
Are you a creative desperate to book weddings and find clients, and yet again and again you are being ghosted, told your prices are too high, and are booking less and less than you did before.
Is this sounding familiar?
Do we all need a big GROUP HUG!
I AM HERE TO HELP!
You can’t just bury your head in the sand and hope that things will get better. They won’t. At least, not in the traditional ways that you think they will. It’s going to take:
LEARNING NEW SKILLS
MARKETING IN NEW WAYS
BRANCHING OUT IN NEW MARKETS
UNDERSTANDING THE WAY PEOPLE ARE BUYING
GETTING CLEAR ON YOUR REACH
UPPING YOUR ONLINE BRAND
DIVERSIFYING YOUR INCOME
CHANGING YOUR CURRENT OFFERINGS TO MAKE THEM MORE APPEALING
More than that, it’s going to take new training, new education, a new mindset, and ideally a support system to help you follow through.
If you’re anything like me, you have ambition and drive, you just want to make sure you are putting all of that drive into the right place.
