Branding & Marketing

filed in:

week has been a whirlwind for us!! How is it only Thursday?! It feels like it should at least by Saturday by now! After our two-day workshops, we always feel a little disheveled. It takes us a while to get life and our HOUSE back in order! Right now there are still dishes stacked in the sink, my lenses are all over the house, the dust bunnies are congregating in every corner and there’s a massive pile of clothes on the floor of my closet. Today is rainy and stormy and so we’re excited to be home all day to get our life back to normal!

We have one wedding and 3 engagement shoots left to conqueror and then guess what?! We have a break! Wedding season FLEW by this year! Some people ask us what we do in the off season and our list is quite long this year. We have a few big projects that have needed to get done for a LONG time that we are working hard towards accomplishing. One project that we’re super excited about is still somewhat under wraps. We’re joining forces with a few amazing friends in the industry to create an awesome resource for photographers and while I can’t announce what that is quite yet, 6 lucky people have a chance to be a part of the creation of this project!!!!

We’re filming a two day workshop on Branding and essential marketing in our home and we need a small, live audience! So we’re opening up 6 seats to any photographers that want to come and be a part of the filming process AND experience a two-day workshop with only 5 other photographers. This is a very RARE educational opportunity because it’s two days, only 6 photographers and it’s half the cost of a workshop. So who would benefit from this most? You would benefit from this if……

  • You need help and advice with any or all areas of branding
  • You want to learn in person but cannot afford The Workshop Experience
  • You have a brand that’s working but it’s not moving you forward
  • You want to take your branding and marketing to a new level but you don’t have $3500 to spend on a designer during this season of your business
  • You want to be a part of a small group and be able to ask questions specific to your business and current situation
  • You’re interested in learning more about our marketing strategy and how our branding plays into our overall marketing goals.

If you think this may be for you but you want to know exactly what will be covered, here are a list of the Module topics we’ll be covering during the 2-day filming process! :

Module 1 – You Are Your Brand (Marketing what only you have, personal marketing strategies)

Module 2 – Your Brand Appearance (Becoming a professional brand, branding basics)

Module 3 – Your Physical Presence (How your brand is represented in tangible ways to your clients through their experience)

Module 4 – Your Online Marketing Presence (How you’re portraying your business online)

Module 5 – Your Website (What should be included, how to pick portfolio images, creating custom “About Me’s”, attracting your ideal clients)

Module 6 – Your Blog (How marketing and your blog can go hand in hand, Creating community through a blog following)

Module 7 – Social Media (Marketing strategies and utilization tips and tricks)

Module 8 – Review + Checkpoints (Homework and worksheets to help make all of this information come to life within your business)

Whew! Now do you understand why we need TWO DAYS to film this?! We’d love to have 6 of you involved with this unique, one time educational experience!! If you’re interested, you can signup HERE!! 

Thanks for reading!
