Minimum Order required = no thank you!

How would I feel if I was told I had to purchase $250.00 from my favorite restaurant, clothing or grocery store?

I know the answer for me is this, no matter how much I LOVED that store, it would leave a really sour taste in my mouth, I wouldn’t return and I would feel like the store was trying to trick me into purchasing more then I was comfortable.

I understand why photographers feel the need to require a minimum purchase, but I don’t think it’s good business practice.

When you give your clients a minimum that is all they will shoot for, or expect to pay. They will enter the ordering process with the mind set of ‘I am going to spend $250. because that is what I am required to do’.  

I encourage you to spend more time and energy setting expectations that will be profitable.  Setting expectations is easy, as are in-person order appointments. You don’t even need fancy equipment!

How can you insure you receive compensation for your time, without requiring your clients spend a predetermined $$$ on products?  I have a few ideas . . . 

happy happy valentines day!

Here at Get Schooled Photo we have a little valentines day love for you!

A cute t-shirt transfer! Print this little sweetness onto transfer paper and then iron on to t-shirts, canvas totes, etc. 

No strings attached, you don’t have to tweet, or facebook or sign up for our homeroom newsletter – we just want to give. If you share with friends, that would just be the best. Let’s be honest there has been some negative sharing lately, let’s share some LOVE.

It would make us feel so warm, fuzzy and loved on Valentines Day.  If you do share head to our facebook page and let us know . . .
