Land Summer Event Photography Gigs with NowCandid

Land Summer Event Photography Gigs with NowCandid

Summer is the season of festivals, fairs, and vibrant outdoor events. From community gatherings to large-scale festivals, the atmosphere is alive with excitement and celebration. Typically, these events feature photo stations with intricate, themed backdrops, encouraging attendees to snap selfies or burdening another guests with the "Will you take our photo?" ask. While this DIY approach captures some fun moments, it often falls short of providing high-quality, shareable images, and can be momentarily disruptive.

As a NowCandid photographer, you have a unique opportunity to pitch your professional photography services to event organizers, offering an upgrade that will elevate their event and create lasting memories for attendees. Here’s how you can effectively pitch your services:

The Advantages of Professional Photography at Events

1. Well-Composed, Shareable Images

Professional photographers capture well-cropped and well-lit images that attendees will be excited to share on their social media profiles. These high-quality photos can enhance the attendees' experience, providing them with well-composed images that stand out from typical smartphone selfies.

2. Real-Time Delivery

Using NowCandid’s advanced technology, photographers can deliver images in real-time via a link through text message or email. Attendees receive their photos quickly, allowing them to share their professional photos instantly on social media, boosting the event’s visibility and engagement.

3. Enhanced Event Promotion

By providing stunning images, you help event organizers promote future events. High-quality photos can be used in marketing materials, social media campaigns, and promotional content, showcasing the event’s atmosphere and encouraging higher attendance in the future.

4. Fun and Excitement

Adding a professional photographer brings an element of fun and excitement to the event. Attendees will enjoy posing for professional shots and seeing their photos displayed in real-time with our LiveLoop feature, creating a dynamic and engaging experience.

How to Pitch Your Services

1. Highlight the Professional Touch

Emphasize the difference between DIY photos and professional photography. Explain how your expertise and equipment can capture moments that truly reflect the spirit of the event, with better lighting, composition, and clarity.

2. Showcase Real-Time Sharing

Demonstrate how NowCandid’s technology allows for real-time image delivery. Show examples of how quickly attendees can receive and share their photos, enhancing their event experience and increasing social media engagement.

3. Provide Visual Examples

Share a portfolio of your work from previous events, highlighting the quality and creativity of your shots. Visual examples can be a powerful tool in convincing organizers of the value you bring to their event.

4. Offer a Unique Selling Proposition

Present a unique selling proposition (USP) that sets you apart from other photographers. This could, again, be NowCandid's LiveLoop feature, where images are show on large event screens. It could be your ability to quickly process and deliver photos.

5. Demonstrate the Marketing Benefits

Explain how professional photos can be used for future event promotion. Provide case studies or examples of events where professional photography significantly boosted marketing efforts and attracted more attendees.

Conclusion

By pitching your professional photography services to summer event organizers, you can transform their photo stations into dynamic, engaging experiences that attendees will love. Professional images not only enhance the attendees' experience but also provide valuable marketing material for future events.

Reach out to local event organizers and showcase how NowCandid can add fun and excitement to their events, delivering high-quality, shareable images that attendees will cherish. Let’s make this summer season unforgettable with photography that captures the essence of every celebration.

As Don Draper (a character from "Mad Men") once said, "Success comes from standing out, not fitting in."

In the competitive world of photography, marketing your photo business to stand out is just as important for your business as capturing stunning images. In this blog post, we'll share some tips to help you market your business effectively and stand out from the crowd. And with a little help from NowCandid, making your brand stand out can be even easier.

1. Identify Your Target Audience:


To effectively market your photo business, it's crucial to first identify your target audience. Are you specializing in weddings, graduations, corporate events, parties, or headshots? Once you know your niche, you can tailor your marketing efforts to reach the right clients.

2. Build a Strong Online Presence:


Your website and social media profiles are essential tools for showcasing your work and connecting with potential clients. Ensure your website is visually appealing, easy to navigate, and optimized for search engines. Update your social media platforms regularly with captivating images, behind-the-scenes content, and engaging stories that will get the attention of potential customers and get them reaching out to you for future events.

3. Utilize NowCandid's White-Label Services:

NowCandid is completely white-label by default and focuses on features that put your branding front and center. From backprinting your business info on photo prints to providing a library of Canva templates for your marketing materials, NowCandid helps you maintain a consistent brand image without stealing the spotlight.

4. Collaborate with Local Businesses and Vendors:


Partner with local businesses and vendors to cross-promote each other's services. This can include collaborating with event planners, florists, and catering companies, or exchanging promotional materials with complementary businesses.

5. Offer QuicPics Events for Promotion:


Hosting a QuicPics event for free is an excellent way to showcase your talents and promote your business. The marketing texts for QuicPics include your business name and contact info, providing a direct line of communication between you and potential clients.

6. Attend Networking Events and Trade Shows:


Networking is key to building relationships and finding new clients. Attend local events, trade shows, and photography conferences to connect with industry professionals and potential customers.

7. Encourage Referrals and Testimonials:


Word of mouth is a powerful marketing tool. Encourage satisfied clients to refer friends and family, and ask them to write testimonials for your website or review platforms. As the Ghostbusters famously said, "Who you gonna call?" Make sure your clients are calling you for their photography needs!

Marketing your photo business is essential for growth and success.

By identifying your target audience, building a strong online presence, and utilizing tools like NowCandid's white-label services, you can effectively promote your brand and stand out in the competitive photography industry. We hope these tips help you make your photo business truly picture-perfect!

What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
