The best thing that worked for me was to try a little of everything. Each business is different and what is going to work for your business will not be the same that works for another. Ask your customers what they prefer and be able to execute several options. Always give them an option to opt out of email communications and ask for feedback. There can be a point where it will be annoying to people if you overdo it so check in periodically to feel the best balance.
This year I plan on making improvements personally and with my business too.

The best way I have found to get your name out there as a small business is, 1. Do amazing work or offer an incredible product and people will naturally recommend or give referrals for you. 2. Show and tell as many people as you can. Tell everyone about what you are doing. Wether its ftom advertising, a sign on the building, direct mail, phone calls, introductions, networking, online, social networks, events, media, sponsorships, interviews, youtube video testimonials, endorsements, or just plain old asking for someones business. Use everything you can think of and every opportunity to spread the word.

Usually people who buy photography consistently understand the value of a fresh updated image done by a professional. When clients have success with something they tend to do it again and again. People stick with what works its when you become the go-to person to solve an image request for someone, that's usually what drives people to call. They also have to like you and your images.

For hiring people I mostly focus on the questions "Tell me about your experience". And "What are your quilifications for this job? " The questions for Hiring employees is basically focused around how well is that person going to fit into the type of job you are hiring for. I look qualities like reliability and experience. I feel that the questions should be aligned to what makes the people you are interviewing a good employee for you.

Social media has been a great way to share my work and keep in touch with a lot of people with just a few clicks. Posts, tweets and photos about current projects and new work keeps people up to date with what I'm doing. To seek out a target market, I have learned that in order to develop relationships with the people who need my services, I had to start creating conversations with these people in the places where this target audience already goes. For example if I'm doing headshots for actors, I would simply go to the actors groups and forums and comment on posts they create, offer feedback on topics they discuss and ask questions regarding their work and their profession. The objective is to just be present on the forums where the clients are and work on developing relationships. One job will lead to the next and word gets around quickly if you are doing good work and providing a decent value for your clients.

For me, as a creative If I am not busy, I am not earning. I have to be actively working and producing in order to be successful. If I am stagnant and not doing any new creative work or actively marketing, my bookings become slim. Other professions may be different, however in my business I have to be actively making new projects and looking for new opportunities all the time. I also have to keep myself busy with customer service, networking, and building relationships that will sustain a healthy stable of clients.
I found my first clients through friends. I just let everyone know I wanted to help them upgrade their images. The word gets around and someone always knows someone who is in need of extra help. I put a little effort into making a lot of introductions and developing friendships at events,...

I found my first clients through friends. I just let everyone know I wanted to help them upgrade their images. The word gets around and someone always knows someone who is in need of extra help. I put a little effort into making a lot of introductions and developing friendships at events, parties and simply passing out my business card while socializing. One job usually leads to the next so I would always ask my clients if they could refer me to anyone they knew who could use a little help.
