My website had a 'blog' link that takes the viewer to my professional FB page. My web address is on everything my clients receive. When the image is shared to a parent's 'wall' it becomes visible to all that parent's friends which creates more interest in the portrait and my work. I can't tell you how many clients I have who come to me because they saw my portrait on their friend's wall�even though they haven't seen their friend since high school or college. I used to do a blog featuring a portrait from each session but the ability to share the images on Facebook opened up a whole new world. I do know that these images are often 'stolen' and saved to phones and iPads. I got over that in a hurry once I realized how proud people are of their children and how often they show the images to friends which, in turn, generates interest in my work. If a parent sends me a new client, that parent receives a $50 referral credit which can be used on any product I offer in the studio. They get a little something andy I get a new client. Works wonderfully. I stopped advertising about four years ago. Lea your kids . my camera . we'll click www.leamurphy.com On Jun 9, 2013, at 4:13 PM, RsLittle wrote:
