Wedding season is upon us

How many wedding video shoots do you have booked for this summer? I bet that number is directly related to how much you marketed yourself last summer. You see, most brides are planning there weddings about a year out. Sometimes it’s more and sometimes you may get a last minute call like I did a few weeks ago. But, if you aren’t marketing yourself year round, you won’t get any calls. By going to wedding expos, sending out mailings, building relationships with wedding vendors and other ways to market yourself, you’ll never get the word out about your services. It’s all about marketing.

Check out this podcast on 5 ways to market your wedding video business.  It will share a few of the ways I have marketed myself in the past.  There are countless other ways for you to become known in your area as the best wedding videographer in your area…and it’s not that hard.

So remember, in order to harvest you first must plant the seed.  This simple principle is done through your year round marketing.

How do you market yourself and your wedding video services?  Leave comments for us to discuss.

Update on the Podcast

So…it’s been a while since I last posted a podcast about how to start your own wedding video business. About a month ago my office flooded and it’s been a LONG process getting everything back up and running. Thankfully I didn’t lose any equipment but I did lose about a month of productivity and wedding video podcasts. My plan is to start up again in late June and keep the ball rolling on the process of start to finish about how to start your own wedding video business.

Let me know what topics you want me to talk about and put them in the schedule. It’s been a lot of fun and I’ve gotten some good feedback from the listeners. Stay tuned because I will return shortly with more wedding video podcasts!
