Re: The Knot telling brides to insist on discounts...
The only money I have spent on advertising was on facebook, highly targeted to 23-28 year old college graduates, engaged, living in particular neighborhoods, whose interests include photography.
And I have not even done that in a year now. Nor do I plan on doing it ever again. Wedding photography is amazing in that it is so referral driven. If you are good enough, you probably dont need to advertise (I know, a generalization!)
Anyways, I doubt the higher end clients many of us are targeting are sifting through the knot. I have always gotten bad vibes from them, and this just puts it over the top.
Like Jim Heine brought up, what happens when the lower-budget photographers advertising on the knot start getting even lower paying work? Does The knot expect them to afford to continue advertising? What the heck are they thinking?
I would rather let my cat sharpen his claws with a wad of twenties than give it to a site like The Knot.
