You have probably heard of portrait parties or picture parties by now.
They are the latest craze in the portrait photography industry and are a great way to make a good deal of money in a short amount of time.
Many photographers can make as much (or more) on a portrait party than a wedding! What is a portrait party? Basically, a portrait party is where you (the photographer) go to a client's home (the hostess) and photograph several families in a few hours time.
It is a fun social event for the hostess and her friends, and is convenient for everyone involved.
The best part is that it allows you to make a large sum of money in a short amount of time.
What makes it a party? This is really up to the hostess.
I've done parties where there is food and music, and others where people just came for the portrait session alone.
What makes it profitable? These parties are unique and fun!Just about anyone would rather go to a friend's home to have portraits taken than to the local department store to wait in line.
Also, the hostess may receive incentives based on the amount of sales, so in essence, she becomes a salesman for you.
All portrait photographers should consider adding portrait parties to their marketing plan.
Doing so will spread word of mouth advertising about your business, get you more customers, and can actually lighten your workload!Learn more at www.
