Get New Customers – Alan’s Straightforward Insights

Portrait, Commercial, Landscape, Events, etc. Within that subset you then need to determine, for portrait as an example, do you want customers for indoor lit, candid, exterior and furthermore. The tactics should be chosen to carefully so they reach your “ideal” customer. The second most important item to help grow your business is to determine what makes your business unique or different from others in your space. Once you have the answers to these question you’re ready to create a “marketing strategy.” The most important rule in all of marketing is that “strategy always comes before tactics.”
