Bournemouth Commercial Photographer - How I Help Creative Women In Business Stand Out
As a Bournemouth commercial photographer, I’ve worked with some amazingly inspirational women. I’d like to show you how I’ve helped them to stand out from the crowd.
Amazing fact, 32% of UK small businesses are owned by women, and if you ask me, that number should be more. In fact, the numbers have risen in the last four years from 17%. This is absolutely brilliant. Especially as these are the women I love to work with as a Bournemouth commercial photographer. My primary goal is to give these amazing women a beautiful bank of images that tell their brand story for their social media and websites.
Bournemouth Commercial Photographer - How I Can Help You Increase Instagram Engagement
Lisa is the founder of The SugarCart in Southbourne. She bakes amazing cakes and was very active on social media with images of her delicious bakes. However, she wasn’t getting the engagement on her posts that she’d like. So Lisa gave me a call and we had a fun, sugar-fueled shoot! Lisa was nervous about putting pictures of herself out here, as most of us are. But the results of her first personal post really boosted her confidence.
Her regular posts usually saw her engagement (likes and comments) go from an average of 12 to 38. The very first time she showed up she got a staggering 93 likes on Instagram alone! Sounds good right? And no hard techy stuff to achieve it. Just you!
Bournemouth Commercial Photographer - How I Can Help You Get In The Press
When it comes to getting your business some free PR you have to be ready with some professional photography. Editors are always looking out for great content and quality high-resolution images. ( No, your phone won’t be good enough!) This was true for Jane founder and owner of Haberdasrdoo in Southbourne.
She had an upcoming award and used this in a press release with five fab images from our shoot together. The editor of Dorset Business Magazine didn’t hesitate to publish her story, because, and I quote…
‘’They were great pictures and a key reason why we used the story as one of our Top Three items. Thank you. ‘’ - Andrew Diprose
Jane’s second piece of free PR was with The Bournemouth Echo. Again featuring the images I captured at her Bournemouth commercial photography shoot. These opportunities are hard to come by. Having professional photographs at the ready is essential in getting the attention of the editor.
