How to Scale Your Wedding Business with Hannah Bjorndal

Overview:
I remember in 2014, when I decided to start an Instagram photography account, I felt immediately discouraged. I saw other photographers who had thousands of followers already and wondered to myself, "is this really worth the time and effort?" 

Well, it turns out that the answer was YES. Instagram became one of my main sources for new bookings and referrals, and it continues to be a successful tool for HBP today! As I reflect back on what, exactly, I did to build a following and client base from Instagram, there were a few key elements that were essential to my success. I'm sharing them today!

Nothing is more frustrating that losing a potential client when you were *this close* to booking them. Can I get an amen?! You've likely done a ton of work to get to this point - you're active on social media, you're networking with other wedding vendors, you're doing a killer job building your reputation through amazing client service - so it's crushing to almost get to the finish line but come up short.

There's good news and bad news.

First, the bad news: this is a complicated issue. There is no single magic answer to this problem. You're likely doing some really great things, and you've also probably got some things you could be doing differently. That's where the good news comes in.
