p.1 #2 · p.1 #2 · How do you market your associate photographers? | |
While I'm not so sure this is a great idea, I guess this is how I'd handle it...
"On your wedding day, I have an associate photographer that specializes in *blank* for me. While I am your main photographer covering *blank*, my associate will cover *blank*. Rest assured, I always check with my clients before I my exit, and leave specific instructions for my associate for the remainder of the evening. Also rest assured I trust my associate photographer with my life."
Again, I think it'd be a huge red flag for most couples. I know my first question as a potential would be, "you're not going to be there for the entire day?" Personally, I wouldn't hire a photographer that told me this.
Alternatively, you have the option to show up and surprise them with leaving it in your associate's hands. This might be better, but you'll still have some huffy clients. It may even work with some... because let's face it; some don't even care by their third drink. No doubt, someone will come along and blame you for something because you weren't there. I definitely see this happening at some point.
Lastly, if you market like Hoffer and the like, and bring them to every consult, it might make it all a different story. Just keep in mind they are now weighing you both in their decision.
I just see this ending badly, myself.
