I work with many pet Photography companies on their marketing efforts.  It’s become a specialty of mine.  I kind of fell into the “pet Photography marketing guru” niche, and I’m loving it.

The pet Photography business is a hard business.  But it can be a very profitable business if run correctly.  One of the keys to successfully running a pet Photography business is to do everything you can do to keep the pet Photography leads coming in throughout the year.

Google revealed that 46% of pet photography businesses haven’t defined a digital marketing strategy, while 16% do have a strategy but haven’t integrated it with their overall marketing.

About Animal (Horse, Dog, Cat) Photography

A pet portrait should capture the real character and emotions of any animal rather than simply looking like one of many in a school line-up.

Every pet, whether it is a dog, cat or guinea pig, is unique and consequently deserves special attention when being photographed to capture such characteristics.

Pets and animals undoubtedly feel more relaxed in familiar surroundings or in the open environment and will contribute more of their natural character to the session. Take an animal to a strange place and it’s likely to mis-behave or not be in a relaxed frame of mind.

Animal psychology plays a key part in the photo shoot and an understanding is fundamental to capturing the animal looking relaxed and how you would typically remember them.

1) Content Marketing

Create a blog and update it often!

A blog is your space to communicate you! Write about humorous situations you encountered during shoots, post on recent work, and share anecdotes from your personal life. Remember, a wedding photographer holds a great deal of trust.

A blog can help foster that trust between you and your clients as they get to know you.

2) Social Media Marketing

Create a fan page on Face-book for all of your satisfied clients to join.

Here, you can send updates on promotions and receive real world reviews from clients. You can also post your best work and promotional videos.

3) Engage yourself.

Follow up with each potential client by a personal email or call congratulating them on their wedding with genuine interest. People can always detect if you are being fake.

4) Get Re-Blogged

Get another blog to blog your blog on their blog. This isn’t as hard as it sounds. Just look around at the pet photography blogs you love, and see which of your pet fits what they love. Then, you know, send it to them! If you don’t want to do it the hard way, you can also use Two Bright Lights.

5) Contribute a Guest Blog

Have a friend with a cool blog?

Reach out and ask if you could contribute a guest blog. Surely there’s a topic you’re savvy on that they could use. Blogs always love a guest post, as it takes a bit of the work off their shoulders and builds credibility. And for you, it positions you as an industry expert and gives you something to talk/post/tweet about!

6) Social Networking

• Instagram
• Ask for referrals

How to get more customers?

.1) Target Marketing
Regional pet publications are one of the best options for print marketing for pet photography. Many larger cities have dog magazines that highlight a broad range of topics including informative articles important to dog owners.

Many cities also offer pet yellow pages that help connect consumers with animal friendly businesses. Contact publishers to find out about submitting your images for articles or trading advertising space for article photographs is a win-win to get your name in the community. Within these publications you can also find other pet businesses to partner with.

2) Displays
Most people would automatically assume that a vet’s office is the best place for a display. But, just because someone has a dog that goes to the vet, does not mean they have the disposable income to have them photographed.

I have found, the best places for displays are dog daycare, groomers and boutique pet stores. Partnering with pet service based businesses are a great way to find clients with disposable incomes. I have offered facility photographs for these businesses’ websites in return for a display in their lobby.

3) Pet Friendly Events
There are numerous pet-friendly events in every town from expos to festivals to run/walks. Setting up a booth at one of these events is a great way to have your work in front of your target market.

Offer your photography services for the event in trade for a booth display. You will be able to get your business in front of potential clients without spending a dime. You will be listed as the event photographer in any marketing materials as well as a having a booth for participants to stop and see your work.

Depending on the event and setup, you may even be able to direct participants to your website to order images from the day.
