It's challenging to attract business if you don't actively promote your own. As online marketing becomes increasingly accessible, it provides photographers with unparalleled opportunities to engage with their audience. PhotoBiz extends its offerings beyond website services, presenting a comprehensive platform that can significantly broaden your business's outreach, especially through email marketing. In this blog post, we will delve into five effective strategies to market your photography business online, ensuring you fully utilize the PhotoBiz Marketing Suite to operate like a marketing expert.
1. Harness the power of email campaigns
PhotoBiz's Email Marketing tool enables you to craft visually captivating, professional emails that resonate with your audience. Utilize this tool to highlight your latest projects, announce special deals, or share exciting updates. You can generate targeted emails and direct them to specific customers using PhotoBiz's CRM tool - Contacts.
Design your emails to be engaging upon opening, ensuring immediate impact.
Key aspects to focus on in your emails:
Craft compelling subject lines
Encourage customers to open the email with compelling language
Manage frequency
Avoid overwhelming your audience; diversify your content and target specific lists when feasible.
Analyze your data
Regularly review your email's open and click-through rates. High clicks are positive, whereas bounces could indicate issues like incorrect email addresses, full inboxes, or inactive users. An unsubscribe action signifies a user's choice to opt out from your emails.

2. Automate reminders for your studio tools
PhotoBiz's email campaign capabilities extend to setting up automated reminders for various business activities, such as appointment reminders, invoices, and client galleries. These automations allow for a more hands-off approach to your business, akin to having a personal assistant for data management or client communication.
Here's how email automation can benefit photographers:
Appointment scheduling
Automate reminders for upcoming appointments using the PhotoBiz Scheduler. You can also set up reminders for reviews, referrals, and rebookings.
Invoices
Automate payment reminders for upcoming and overdue invoices, ensuring timely payments.
Client Galleries
Inform users about available galleries and remind them of mobile app options, pending purchases, and gallery expiration dates.

With PhotoBiz's Client Galleries, you can swiftly send a gallery to any contact, streamlining your marketing efforts. The Contacts CRM acts as a quick-access library for your contacts. Simply input a name or email, and the system will quickly identify the recipient for you.
4. Blogging can be a social media resource
Blogging can significantly enhance engagement and drive traffic to your website, providing content to share online. This content can promote your business, highlight past events, and serve as an SEO-boosting tool to attract potential customers.
How a blog can be a marketing tool:
- Highlight past events, detailing locations and experiences.
- Promote upcoming events or sessions, directing users to specific landing pages.
- Share behind-the-scenes glimpses to engage potential clients and induce FOMO (fear of missing out).
There are countless ways to turn your blogs into a sales funnel — give it a try and see the results!
