Great tips! Simple but effective. I would also suggest getting to know your local wedding vendors. Referrals are what this industry is all about – & where most of my photography business comes from!

These are great ideas. Having a blog is a wonderful idea, especially if you can blog about local events and include your best photos. I would also include having a website and setting up your profiles on google places and yelp.

Here’s another article that discusses low cost and effective methods of marketing your photography business.

Thanks for this – I have some time off over the holidays and although my background is PR and marketing lists like these are really helpful. I’m one year into my wedding photography business and have utilised some of this tips – but think a video with an overview of what I’m all about would be useful.

I’m not a wedding photographer, but I heard a technique for using Twitter I thought would be an amazing marketing tool for Wedding photographers. It would take a little bit of tech savvy to set-up, but once you had it going it could run itself and provide a lot of leads.

There are programs that will monitor key words in tweets. One example is a program called Hootsuite. I was thinking what if a wedding photographer monitored tweets in his or her area for tweets with words like “engaged” or “proposed” etc. You could know when someone is getting married even before the person’s family. It certainly would put you at the front of the line for offering your services.

To find people in your area to follow just find a local restaurant, club, radio or TV station that people are following and begin following them.

Just and idea I had. If someone tries this I would really like to know how it works. I’m seriously considering starting a “social media” marketing company from all the things I’ve learned promoting my own site. contact me at twemple@hotmail.com.

I’ve used a lot of these techniques in this article and it has definitely driven traffic to my site. http://www.bikerallyphotography.comeimg url=’http://www.bikerallyphotography.com/img/s10/v16/p197516006-1.jpg’ title=’p197516006-1.jpg’]

I love your first idea with the video! Definitely would help with the destination brides and for those shopping around- it kinda builds a personal connection even before you speak with them.
