This is why obsessed pet parents don't book with you with Kirstie McConnell
2023-05-11 20:00 - 21:00 | https://www.bigmarker.com/ppbnonline/This-is-why-obsessed-pet-parents-don-t-book-with-you-with-Kirstie-McConnell
Would you love to photograph pets but your marketing attempts never quite hook those dream pet-parent clients who will spend like your other clients?
I started my pet photography business in 2012 when the genre was barely a thing. Not only did I have to market my own business, but the concept of pet photography as well.
Over the years talking with other pet-industry professionals, and listening to the concerns and objections of my enquiries, I learned where to find the best (highest-spending and raving) clients, how to stop repelling them and what to say and do instead!
Let’s help you do the same to get more pets in front of your lens with small changes to your language and portfolio.
