WHAT ISTHE BIG IDEA?

There’s a common misconception about

marketing derived from our society’s

unquenchable need for instant gratification…

This misconception is that marketing is like a gum ball dispenser. The more money you put

in, the more gum balls you get out. Marketing is a longterm commitment to allow your customers to

get to know you as a company and to build a bond based on trust.

That doesn’t mean that there aren’t quick tips to make your longterm marketing commitments flow a little bit easier.

Having a constant stream of high quality photos for social media and marketing purposes can be a complicated achievement for

many companies.

It takes time to hire a photographer and then there is the struggle of having people to photograph.

5 MINUTE FACT #1Having your own custom photo content for your website and social media can actually improve your business’ SEO results!

I had a marketing client who desperately needed high-quality photos for their medical practice’s online marketing campaign.

They wanted real patients and high-quality pictures. However, it turned out to be quite difficult to get the photographer and enough subjects on the same

day to make it worth it.

Suddenly I had an idea! We need to find a way to have the customers come to us, in a situation where we can bring the photographer to them. The

solution was simple, throw a party and invite all of the patients to come!

with your marketing.” - Mike Volpe

Sometimes you have to get a little creative!

5 MINUTE FACT #2Letting your customers get to know your business on a more personal level will, over time, build a loyal bond based on trust.

Parties can be affordable opportunities to bond with customers and strengthen the relationship they have with your business.

They get the opportunity to mingle with your staff and learn more about your business. This also gives them a reason to talk about you to friends &

family!

All you really need is food, beverages and a reason to celebrate. Then all you need is a photographer to shoot the event.

The best idea is to have it at your business location. As the party is going on, ask customers if they want to be involved in the photoshoot. Trust me, there

will be volunteers!

NUTS &BOLTS“Relational trust is built on movements of the human heart such as empathy,

commitment, compassion, patience and the capacity to forgive.” - Parker J. Palmer

The logistics are always quite simple!

5 MINUTE FACT #3Photo content is vital for many businesses to maintain their online marketing campaigns, especially for specialty industries.

The best solution to ensuring that all of the photoshoot pictures are usable, is to have each volunteer sign a waiver.

This informs them that the photo may be used for marketing or promotional use by your company, while protecting your rights as well.

This is a common practice among many businesses, especially when it comes to their unique creative content.

NUTS &BOLTS “Content marketing is a commitment, not a campaign”

- Jon Buscall

What about legality of photos for marketing?

5 MINUTE FACT #4On average, a loyal retail customer is worth about 10x what they spent on their very first purchase.

It gives your customers the opportunity to see what you do “behind-the-scenes” and gives them an opportunity to get to know your staff outside the

business environment.

Customers trust businesses that they know. This is the first step to creating business loyalty. They are then more willing to purchase from your company

consistently, as well as recommend you to all of their friends.

Let’s not forget, you can’t buy word-of-mouth marketing! That means the bond you create with your customers is priceless.

NUTS &BOLTS“Profit in business comes from repeat customers, customers that boast about

your project or service, and that bring friends with them.” - W. Edwards Deming

How does this create customers for life?

“The greatest technology in the world hasn’t replaced the ultimate relationship building tool between customer &

business; the human touch.” - Shep Hyken

Photo content is vital to having a unique, captivating website, as well as successfully active social media accounts. This is also a great resource for print marketing material as well, like brochures, postcards, and product pictures.

Land Photo Content

The key to building a relational bond with your customers is to let them get to know your business. This includes your passions, desires, goals and your unique company story. The more you share and get them involved, the more their loyalty will grow!

Customers love being involved in the businesses they care about. They also love recommending the businesses that have won their loyalty to their friends. You can’t buy word-of-mouth marketing, so you have to find ways to get your customers sharing!

Most people listen to recommendations that their friends make! This is a great opportunity for businesses to take advantage of with word-of-mouth marketing!
