Reflect on 2013 and Plan for 2014
Reflect on the year just ended and plan for 2014 with your Bellingham photographer peers.
Bring a favorite beverage (beer, wine, whatever) and something tasty to share.
Here are some questions to stimulate the conversation:
• How did you grow your business when you first started out?
• How did you know when and what kind of outsourcing help to get? And how did you know when it was time to outsource it?
• What were your initial marketing efforts to spread the word about yourself, how did you attract new clients and retain repeat clients?
• What are your marketing strategies now?
• What are your goals for the new year?
• What plans do you have for the coming year.... re getting more education, learning new software, new marketing focus efforts, conferences?
• What do you wish you had known or done differently your first or second year out?
• What did you do recently that didn't pan out or work out as well as you had hoped? Or that worked out just great and really helped!
• Any new tips and tricks, software, websites, apps, or services you've found over the past year, like, say Sticky Albums, or outsourcing companies like ShootDotEdit that you would recommend?
• How confident are you about your ability to make 2014 a successful year for your photography business?
• What would make it better/easier?
• What would you love to see in Bellingham that would help move your business forward but that doesn't exist?
• If you're going to Imaging USA, what do you expect to learn or what are you shopping for at the trade show?
