How to be the best Senior Rep Ever
Even though it may sound a little scary, advertising and sending in referrals isn’t too difficult. My best advice for spreading the word about Suzanne Barnes Photography is to simply use the resources you already have and play it cool! Here are my seven tips for snagging referrals!
Ask Friends About Their Senior Pictures
If you’re a senior, chances are the topic of senior pictures is bound to come up. Take that opportunity to ask where your friends are planning to have their pictures done. If they haven’t booked a session with another photographer and are still looking, tell them about your experience and hand them a wallet picture and business card. Make sure you let them know they’ll get a 15% discount and free wallets when they use your unique referral code.
Take to Social Media
You’ll receive some digital marketing files from the photo session that are tailored for various social media outlets. Post these things to your Facebook wall, Twitter feed, Pinterest boards and even Instagram. These already have your unique referral code on them, too, so sharing them helps you bring in more clients.
Share Your Blog Post
Every senior representative at Sunny Skies Photography gets a blog post featuring him or her! Make sure you share this as soon as it goes up, but don’t stop there. You can post it several months down the road, too.
Send Out Emails
While we don’t encourage mass emails or unsolicited messages, we do think it’s wise to send out your blog post, photo gallery and senior representative information to friends and family via email. You never know who they’ll forward it to!
Talk Up Your Session
We know you’re going to have a blast at your photo session, so why not share all the cool details with friends and family? We wouldn’t even be opposed to you snapping a few pictures at the session to share on Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat or Instagram!
Leave Business Cards Everywhere
Heading to the school library? Leave a few business card in the pages of a popular book. Grabbing a smoothie from the coffee shop? Ask if you can set some business cards on the coffee tables. Watching a movie at the local theater? Place some cards on the bench in the bathroom! Spending the Sunday at church? Tack some cards to the lobby bulletin board!
Tell People You’re a Representative
You should be proud of the fact that you were selected from a sea of applicants to be a representative for Sunny Skies Photography! Share that information with everyone you know. Family members and friends will likely be excited for and proud of you. Plus, the more you share, the more they’ll share!
