The best way to get started is by getting your name out among the local small businesses in your town. Printing flyers to be displayed in store windows or on counters is a great way to do this. When printing the flyers, be specific about the type of photography work you wish to do. Be sure to include a price list and a phone number where you can be reached to set up an appointment. Having good public relations is a must.
Word of mouth can make or break a new business.
Therefore, it is very important to follow through on an appointment that has been set, to show up on time, and to deliver the finished product on the promised date. Customers who have experienced bad service will tend not to frequent your business. When setting up an appointment, be specific about with the customer about how you want the appointment to go. Find out what they want and make suggestions on how you think you can provide the best quality. Personalization in a photograph always causes a beautiful effect.
