Can you ask chat GPT for photos for your business? Can you use stock images in Canva? Can you take your own photos with your phone?
The answer to each of this is yes you can do what works for you! But let me give you some food for thought about why planning your own session with a photographer can help your business!
1. In a world where markets may feel over saturated, social media is chalked full of information and misinformation - be the brand that your potential clients can trust. Having real photos of you and your products and services builds brand trust. It makes clients feel they can connect with you because your photos are actually of you and what you do! With the right photographer guiding you, your photos can be filled with your personality which people want to know.
2. Most small businesses are competing with big corporations and companies - local clients want to spend money on their neighbours - so show them who you are. You are not just your business revenue, you are a real person who contributes back to your community and may be supporting your own family! Let them know there’s a person behind the brand.
3. Taking photos with your phone can be a great way to keep up with those behind-the-scene moments and giving clients a little look into your business life. But high quality photos with a photographer can let potential clients, investors, collaborators know that you value your business and want to invest in it! Plus it looks hella good on social media AND in large print for advertising.
4. Tell a story - use props, products and personal items to tell the story of your business, help clients connect with you and know exactly who your brand is and who your target audience is.
5. When you hire your local photographer - you are showing support within your community. When local businesses support and invest in one another, potential and current clients can relate. It says “I love shopping and supporting local, you should too”
So don’t wait to get those high quality, authentic images and reach out about your next session for your small business. Cause I got you!
