What is the most effective way to advertise?

AshleaL

Hello All!

I am new to DGrin! I own a photography company (www.ElizabethAshleaPhotography.com). I have tried a few different ways to advertise for my company. I'm not impressed with any of them so far. I want to find out from other photographers, what do you find to be the most effective and profitable way to advertise for your photography company? I mainly shoot family and childrens portraits, as well as, an occassional wedding. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you!

Ashlea

Hi Ashlea

Welcome to the dGrin forums.

I see you're a Smugger like many of us here. I'm sure you'll be receiving lots of good advice from everyone.

Our family photographer uses Facebook quite effectively:

One thing she will do after a session is post one sample image and tag the people in it. Then all their friends also end up seeing the image as well. My aunt in Indianapolis actually commented on Shea's photo before we had a chance to! And my aunt didn't even know we were getting our portrait done.
