Ideas on Advertising!

[edow21]

I am recently starting my business. I need some ideas on Advertising and getting the word out. I bough some business cards and that has helped tremendously but i was wondering on some new ideas. I also started a facebook.

How about attending some trade fairs. Reading Pro magazines etc. Facebook isn't going to cut it on its own get yourself a portfolio and a website together.

might want to rethink those prices... option A
$80.00 for 1hr 15 images on location

1 hr shoot
at least 2 hrs of editing
drive time to and from location (1 hr at least)
cost of cd
wear and tear on gear
wear and tear on car
fuel expense
business insurance
NO PROFIT from prints???

I don't see any money be made here, and why would you give away high res files with print rights???

I am the only photographer here in Kirtland, NM that gives you an option to order prints. I have to have some sort of competition with other photographers. I give them printing rights but they have to order through my recommended company. Option A And Option B are for a limited time only and it specifically states that. I also charge extra for mileage.
