1) What is the unique selling point of your photography? This is the heart of any promotion. What is it that you do better than anyone else? What special problem do you solve? What unique approach do you use to making images that your customers want?

3) What is the call to action? What do you want the customer to do? Perhaps you want them to call for a free, no-obligation portrait consultation or you might want them to bring in a coupon good for one free gallery print with every one that they purchase…

4) What is your headline? This is the commercial for your offer. You need something that is short, direct, and to the point. I once ran a promotion for executive portraiture.

5) Close. This is the crucial step. Remind the customer of the call to action. Most sales don’t happen because the photographer simply failed to ask for the order.

6) Write. Put all these parts together to build your promotion.
That’s it. Good luck.
