Episode 25: Navigating Black Friday for Family Photographers
In this episode, I’m talking through the complexities of Black Friday for family photographers, looking to maintain their artistic integrity and profitability. Rather than crafting a sale for your services, I want to propose some more creative thinking about how you might use this time of increased buyer attention to set yourself apart in a positive and productive way with 4 specific ideas to get you going (or walk away!).
We’ll challenge the idea that slashing prices is the only way to engage customers and explore how taking cues from Trader Joe’s stable pricing approach might be the game-changer your business needs.
