Transforming Event Photography: How Rachel Sherman Elevated Her Business with NowCandid’s QuicPics

Transforming Event Photography: How Rachel Sherman Elevated Her Business with NowCandid’s QuicPics
Rachel Sherman, owner of TSS Photography of South Florida, discovered the game-changing benefits of NowCandid's QuicPics program through a networking opportunity that not only enhanced her business but also solidified new partnerships.

A Chance Meeting Leads to Opportunity

It all began at a Network Lead Exchange (NLX) meeting where Rachel met Mia, a member of NLX. A friendship quickly formed, catalyzed by shared professional values and a mutual dedication to community service. Rachel knew she could lean on NowCandid when she received a last-minute request to cover a “Galantine’s Day Lunch Celebration” through Mia’s referral.

Despite the tight schedule, Rachel rearranged her commitments to cover the event, leveraging the QuicPics program to deliver high-quality, timely photos.

Instant Gratification and Enhanced Visibility

The event was a win-win for all involved. Rachel provided timely and professional photography services, greatly enhancing the experience for attendees who were thrilled to receive instant access to their images. This instant delivery allowed them to share their photos on social media right away, amplifying the event's reach and engagement online.

Meanwhile, the host appreciated the immediate availability of high-quality images which could be leveraged for further marketing efforts.

This efficient service not only helped Rachel cement her reputation as a top-tier photographer but also showcased her ability to add significant value to events by boosting their visibility and attendee satisfaction.

Seizing the Moment with QuicPics

Seeing the QuicPics program in action, Mia was additionally impressed by the custom graphic banners Rachel created for each event, that include the event name and sponsor logos, which prompted her to secure Rachel’s services for the Weston Bar Association's networking luncheon.

Rachel attended the luncheon as a guest, providing a supportive presence while her team easily managed the Tap-A-Face workflow.

Exclusive Partnership Announcement

The collaboration was so successful that at the end of her speech, Mia announced TSS Photography as the Exclusive Photographer for the Weston Bar Association.

This partnership marked a significant milestone for Rachel, demonstrating the powerful impact of effective networking combined with the right technological tools like NowCandid's QuicPics.

A Model for Success

Rachel Sherman’s experience illustrates how integrating innovative tools like NowCandid’s QuicPics can transform a photography business from simply capturing moments to becoming an integral part of community engagement and business growth.

Her story is a testament to the potential that professional photographers can unleash when they combine skill with cutting-edge technology.

As Don Draper (a character from "Mad Men") once said, "Success comes from standing out, not fitting in."

In the competitive world of photography, marketing your photo business to stand out is just as important for your business as capturing stunning images. In this blog post, we'll share some tips to help you market your business effectively and stand out from the crowd. And with a little help from NowCandid, making your brand stand out can be even easier.

1. Identify Your Target Audience:


To effectively market your photo business, it's crucial to first identify your target audience. Are you specializing in weddings, graduations, corporate events, parties, or headshots? Once you know your niche, you can tailor your marketing efforts to reach the right clients.

2. Build a Strong Online Presence:


Your website and social media profiles are essential tools for showcasing your work and connecting with potential clients. Ensure your website is visually appealing, easy to navigate, and optimized for search engines. Update your social media platforms regularly with captivating images, behind-the-scenes content, and engaging stories that will get the attention of potential customers and get them reaching out to you for future events.

3. Utilize NowCandid's White-Label Services:

NowCandid is completely white-label by default and focuses on features that put your branding front and center. From backprinting your business info on photo prints to providing a library of Canva templates for your marketing materials, NowCandid helps you maintain a consistent brand image without stealing the spotlight.

4. Collaborate with Local Businesses and Vendors:


Partner with local businesses and vendors to cross-promote each other's services. This can include collaborating with event planners, florists, and catering companies, or exchanging promotional materials with complementary businesses.

5. Offer QuicPics Events for Promotion:


Hosting a QuicPics event for free is an excellent way to showcase your talents and promote your business. The marketing texts for QuicPics include your business name and contact info, providing a direct line of communication between you and potential clients.

6. Attend Networking Events and Trade Shows:


Networking is key to building relationships and finding new clients. Attend local events, trade shows, and photography conferences to connect with industry professionals and potential customers.

7. Encourage Referrals and Testimonials:


Word of mouth is a powerful marketing tool. Encourage satisfied clients to refer friends and family, and ask them to write testimonials for your website or review platforms. As the Ghostbusters famously said, "Who you gonna call?" Make sure your clients are calling you for their photography needs!

Marketing your photo business is essential for growth and success.

By identifying your target audience, building a strong online presence, and utilizing tools like NowCandid's white-label services, you can effectively promote your brand and stand out in the competitive photography industry. We hope these tips help you make your photo business truly picture-perfect!

What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
