How to Deal with Last-Minute Photography Clients
Accommodate if the schedule allows
- If you have an opening, then I don’t see a problem with booking the gig.
- However, it’s I find it incredibly disrespectful that they’re calling me last minute
- There’s a ton of new added stress so the following is going to happen:
Charge a Rush-fee
- Price sensitivity
- Cobb Value Curve
- Cash up front.
- You have no rapport, you have no trust built up.
- You will screw yourself if you do this wedding without 100% upfront cash.
- YOU WILL DO NOTHING UNTIL THAT MONEY IS CLEARED AND ON THE WAY TO YOUR BANK ACCOUNT.
- Your time is valuable
If you’re not available, find a trusted freelancer or recommend a friend
- Be careful when referring to your friend.
- Good friends don’t send over shitty referrals.
- I’ve had plenty of folks send me crap referrals with a paragraph-long forewarning about how bad the client is.
- If they’re that bad, then please don’t send them my way
Politely Decline
- The client is clearly going to be a handful and cause you unnecessary stress.
- If this is how they treat you during the production process, then how do you expect post-production will go? Do you think they’ll be on time with their notes and sending you the final payment?
For photographers who HATE marketing, here’s a short lesson plan - 😤😤😤
