Setting Business Goals

Setting goals for your business Having a strong business plan is your guide to growing a successful business. One of the best places to start is with setting goals. For some, setting goals is very easy. For others, it’s much more difficult. If you struggle with setting goals here are some tips to help you get started. Many people struggle with setting goals because they don’t want to specialize in a field (say maternity photography) they want to be a generalist (maternity, newborns, family, weddings, seniors, etc.) Because they are not focused in one area, they find it difficult to...

Last month we launched a full line of marketing kits for new, growing and professional photographers. We’ve seen a huge need for marketing kits among our customer base of professional photographers, but we wanted to know how established photographers use the kits to build their current brand. I asked established boudoir photographer Tracy Joy Tignino to share with us just how she used the Professional Boudoir Marketing Kit, Desire, in her existing photography business, Pink Heels.

Planning for a great year!

Having a plan is the first step to success. If you don't know where you want to go ... how will you ever get there? Imagine going on a road trip and knowing where you needed to end up, but not having a map or gps to guide you. You might eventually make it, but you probably wouldn't take the best, shortest or straightest route. Contrast that to a well planned trip. Your business is just the same as the road trip. If you plan out your next year and follow the map (maybe making an occasional detour) you'll arrive at a successful destination. On the contrary, if you just get out there and "do" without a plan to back you up, you'll find yourself tired and disappointed with your final destination.
