  • WYS 015: In Person Sales for Your Boudoir Studio

    On today’s show we have Katherine from Katherine

    Henry Boudoir. Katherine has set up her studio with in person
    sales: a business model that sells each image or a small collection
    of images individually and the client views their images in person
    sometime after the actual shoot takes place. In contrast, what
    a lot of photographers do is charge a flat rate, shoot the session,
    and the images from the session are included. 

    We talk about the benefits of doing in person sales for your

    photography studio (there are more advantages than just bringing in
    more money) and answer common questions and resistance points that
    photographers have about in person sales.
