In person sales are a key part of the overall client experience, and also to achieving consistent high sales year after year in order to grow your business. When your clients hire you, they are not only investing in your artistic style of photography, they are also investing in your professional expertise and guidance through every part of the process.
They hired you because they want to purchase the photographs that you take, and they invested in a relationship they trust will help them make the best decisions for displaying those images.
This seems so obvious, right? Yet many photographers struggle with trying to "sell" to their clients, or feel they have to "convince" them to buy products. When the reality is that the reason they hired you in the first place is that they want to purchase the photographs you are going to take. Most clients have no idea how to correctly display photography, or what many of the options are and how the finished product(s) will look. You are the expert, and your clients are looking to you for help to guide them through the process in selecting the best ways to display their images. They want your artistic and professional input on which images work best together with which products.
