Episode 019 – Branding tips for photographers from Anna Pumer


Listen Later

I’m very excited about today’s episode because I’ll be interviewing Anna Pumer who’s a sorceress when it comes to photography branding and she’s a jolly soul as well.
If you’re not getting enough of the right kind of enquiries then your branding is usually the first place you should look.
After all, if your website and message and photographs look the same as everyone else’s then there’s no reason to choose you.
Similarly, if you’re not telling people about yourself on your website, on Facebook etc. then it puts people off contacting you because they don’t know what sort of person to expect.
Your goal is to have people feel like they know you and like you just by reading your website and social media posts.
When people feel comfortable that they’re going to like you and feel comfortable talking with you they’re much more likely to get in touch.
That’s the power of effective photography branding.
Here’s what you’re going to discover in this episode.
