Calling all photographers who struggle finding photography clients. You are kept awake at night thinking:
The economy is dampening and people don’t want to spend.
You can’t compete with the ton of low-priced photographers in your area.
Your inbox is getting few inquiries. (This one may cause actual nightmares!)
You’re getting ghosted when you send your prices.
And you’re constantly worrying that you won’t ever find success being a photographer; that you don’t have what it takes.
You don’t need to be a luxury photographer to use the secrets of the luxury business to increase bookings.
You only have to be a little more luxe than the competitors to stand out in the saturated market.
“I just had my best year in revenue!”
“Last year, I set a goal to increase my average sale and improve the client experience in my dog photography business. The Little Luxuries book gave me simple, actionable strategies to try. One small change I made was swapping my ripped jeans and old t-shirts for more attractive outfits during sessions to appear as a trusted professional. The results speak for themselves—I just had my best year in revenue!”

Do what the luxury giants do, to get some of what the luxury giants get.
If you have been targeting average families, they may be taking their once disposable dollars and putting them towards living expenses. This means nothing left over for the nice things they may have spent on before. Even your previous client roster may start drying up as they cut photography services from the budget.
Who isn’t as affected by economic conditions? Those in above-average markets who still have disposable dollars and wish to stretch for some finer things to break up the ordinary. But to market to this more affluent group of the middle-market — the upper middle and beyond — you must present yourself as a unmistakable choice.

Life’s Work Stories: Press Play in your Business

There are absolutely NO OTHER RESOURCES I have found that adapt the successful techniques that luxury powerhouses such Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Rolex, and Four Seasons use daily in their businesses, to adapt into any sized photography businesses. So, I did it myself and now offering it to you!
As a former marketer with a Psychology degree, I have looked at dozens of case-studies to distil the techniques, understand the psychology of why they work, and how they can be transformed into effective techniques for us. I have also used these personally to elevate my business in my client’s eyes, and regularly book well-paying clients with high rates of repeat business. I knew I wasn’t going to be a top luxury provider, but I did know that I wanted to create an experience for clients that felt and looked more premium than the masses of other photographers discounting and shooting and burning. There are many levels of success. We don’t have to be at the very top but we certainly don’t want to be at the bottom. It’s the most crowded there!
Most believe luxury industry marketing strategy is way out of their league — they have huge ad budgets and their products have big brand reputation to bring in clients with money. All of that can be true, but don’t let that exterior fool you! The sales and psychology strategies they use are not specially formulated for them and kept under lock and key for only the affluent. What they have done is capitalize and amplify otherwise simple strategies to appeal to people’s senses, identities and life aspirations, and those strategies actually helped to catapult them into the luxury space and now they build on that success constantly. You don’t ever have to be as big as they, or have the same goals as them, to benefit from the knowledge. In marketing, luxury IS attainable! Their marketing and selling strategies, that is!
