When is the Best Time to Promote Christmas Sessions?
To maximize interest and ensure a steady stream of clients, it's generally a good idea to start promoting Christmas photo sessions several months in advance, usually around September or early October. This allows potential clients enough time to learn about your services and plan their holiday photo shoots accordingly.
Early promotion (September - early October): Announce that you'll be offering Christmas photo sessions and encourage clients to book early to secure their preferred dates. Offer early-bird discounts or special incentives for clients who book during this period.
Mid-season promotion (mid-October - November): Continue promoting your Christmas photo sessions through social media, email campaigns, and other marketing channels. Share photos from previous holiday shoots to showcase your work and create a sense of urgency by reminding clients that spots are filling up fast.
Last-minute promotion (December): Target last-minute shoppers and clients who may have missed your earlier promotions. Offer limited-time discounts or special offers to attract clients who still want to capture memorable holiday moments.
Keep in mind that it's essential to communicate deadlines for clients to receive their photos in time for holiday cards or gifts. By promoting your Christmas photo sessions well in advance and maintaining a strong marketing presence throughout the season, you'll increase your chances of attracting a steady stream of clients and ensuring a successful holiday photography season.
Moral of this story… Start promoting NOW!
Christmas 2021
A quick rundown…
There are two new setup for the 2021 Christmas season. I have a Hot Cocoa session and a Christmas PJs session. Hot Cocoa comes with a 20 min session, 5 digitals, and 25 Christmas cards. Christmas PJs is a 15 min session, 2 digitals, and 25 Christmas cards. You also have the option of doing both.
I’ve had a few people say they would like an outdoor setting but their kids were a little old for the Hot Cocoa session. I still have my props from 2020s setup.
Tis the Season
It’s Christmas session time!!! (Not Christmas season, enjoy your pumpkin spice everything)
There are still spots available. This year’s Christmas sessions include 30 minutes of photography, 5 digital images chosen from your gallery of all usable images from the session, and 25 Christmas cards for $195.
Available Dates:
November: 3rd, 16th, 17th, 24th, 30th
December: 14th, 15th.
Confirm a date and I can get the ball rolling on my end.
Thank you for a successful Christmas season!
Hi guys,
I must start by saying THANK YOU for everyone who made this Christmas season such a success! Whether it was posting and raving about the job I did, calling me directly telling me how everyone loved their cards, or simply liking and comment on some of the images it is much appreciated.
There are a lot of new things planned for 2018!!! Though I might not blog about what's going on, the other social media outlets are updated constantly. Follow to stay informed.
