I apologize for not responding to your comment sooner! What you say is so true: you can't run a successful business and be shy in the promotion department! Just remember that promotion doesn't mean selling out or stomping all over your principles and values. You are meeting people's needs with your business. That's a very good thing! Thanks, YumchaGirl.

Lowering prices is a panic reaction, not a business strategy. As far as email marketing goes, think about what you can do that would be the most helpful to your clients as far as photography goes. When you are helping them instead of yourself, your emails will never be viewed as spam. Benipayo, thanks for your comment. Lowering prices is a panic reaction, not a business strategy.

It’s critical. You need to discover or create your unique value proposition. Never compete on price. If you do, you will have accidentally found yourself in a race to the bottom, and that’s one race you don’t want to win! The insidious thing about competing on price is that once you start, it’s almost impossible to stop."

I love all the practical strategies you offered here, but my favorite sentence hands down is the one above. Now is the time to get our ducks in a row and our game on. Those of us who keep our head down and our momentum moving forward while everyone else is running around like Chicken Little yelling "The sky is falling!" will be the ones to catch. Excellent post. :-) I don’t know if you figured this out, yet, but the things on this list have Jack Shit to do with how “bad” the economy is.

They are looking for something to blame, too bad they put all their grudges with the economy. Most of the time, instead of taking multiple steps forwards they tend to procrastinate- leaving them as victims of their own negative thoughts and beliefs. Too much focus on the issue won’t do any good at all, recognizing obstacles are nice though. It’s great to read posts like this which encourage people to try to overcome issues productively. Take action now and don’t leave yourself preoccupied with these issues. It’s kind a annoying how people react negatively over a bad economy.
