The 2024 communion campaign is already here but if you still don’t have a communion photography business that really works, you still have time to organise it. Because, although it may seem like a simple campaign, the reality is that families are increasingly demanding more in this type of report and take great care in the choice of the communion photographer to ensure they get a precious memory of their children. Gone are the days when parents would go to the studio directly and with almost no prior information to book a communion photo session with their trusted photographer. Nowadays, clients inform themselves, search and compare on the Internet. And that means a lot of work for the photographer before booking.

If you have already opened the agenda for this communion season and you still have plenty of free spaces. Don’t worry, in today’s article we are going to help you create a communion photography business that works perfectly.

Learn how to set up a first communion photography business.

The best first communion photographer websites have one thing in common. They take care and update the content of their website before the start of each communion season. Because in order to sell more communion photos it is important that you show detailed information about your services, a well cared for and updated portfolio, offer a practical booking system so that your clients can book comfortably from home and, after the session, make life easier for them by delivering the images to them through an online gallery system.

Because there are studies that show that professionals who do not have a well cared for presence on the Internet, do not manage to achieve the desired sales. And also, in the case of communions, most families who are currently looking to hire a photographer, usually do their searches through the Internet. Therefore, today we want to show you a small compilation of the websites of communion photographers who are having the best results and who also rely on the business solutions that can be found in Arcadina and that help them to publicise their communion photos.

Learn how to improve your marketing strategy and take a look at what these websites of communion photographers have to offer.

When it comes to dealing with your clients, especially once you have already done the photo shoot, the delivery of images to clients will be one of the points that you will have to improve or take care of so that they repeat the experience with you or even recommend you to their acquaintances. Because you have to be very clear about one thing, and that is the fact that you are much more likely to sell more products or new services to a person who has already worked with you than to one who has not yet become your client.

Private galleries will not only allow you to improve the delivery of images to clients, but will also open doors with a wide range of possibilities for your clients to continue doing business with the photographs from their photo shoots. In this article we are going to explain the importance of delivering photos to your clients and how you can benefit financially from it.

If you learn how to send photos to a client in a professional manner, your profits will increase exponentially.

At Arcadina we have been in direct contact with photographers every day for years and we know first hand that in many cases the profession of photographer is not valued as it should be by clients. It is very common that we receive through our media comments like: “Why do I have the obligation to lower the prices of my photo shoots if I do a professional job? Do I have to offer my photo shoots for free? etc.”.

These and many others are the questions that fellow photographers who are just starting out ask themselves when they see that every day they are questioned and tried to haggle over their work, or even asked to do a photo shoot for free. Something inconceivable in any other profession. And we know that many of you veteran photographers wonder why the profession of photography is not valued as it should be. “What are we doing wrong, when will the rest of society really appreciate our work, etc.? If you want to know where the lack of appreciation of this precious profession lies and how to try to solve it between all of us, be sure to read this article.

Today it is still a fact that the profession of photographer is often undervalued.
