The Pro Photo Business Forum

As a wedding and portrait photographer, especially if you are just starting out, you want to make sure that you have a long tail.

Your tail is also your product line.  How many items do you offer to your clients?  For most wedding photographers, their tail consists of their time, an online gallery, and wedding albums.

Extend your product line, and watch your profits grow.  After all, your clients are talking with you because they want to spend money with you.  It is your job to continually be offering products until your client says “no”.

More than likely you are offering Engagement and Bridal sessions.  Do you offer a frame with each and every portrait you sell?

Do you offer three to four different lines of wedding albums?  One line of wedding album can be more expensive than the other.

Do you offer different finishing options for your finished portraits?

Do you offer studio versus outdoor portrait sessions?

When was the last time you offered a parent album to the Groom’s family, and not just the Bride’s family?

And, as an extreme way to extend your tail, you can offer honeymoon photography!  Make sure to attend one of our workshops if you are interested in learning more about how to get started with honeymoon photography.
