Since a lot of you are working on visibility this month, I’d love to check in. What’s ONE thing you’re struggling with in your marketing right now? Finding clients? What to post? Being consistent? Standing out in your area? Share it below, I’ll jump in and help where I can 💛 And you never know, someone else here might have the exact solution you need.

I’ve been quietly building something behind the scenes… and you’re going to be the very first to hear about it. This December, I’m releasing 12 Days of Howliday Marketing Boost — a brand-new interactive holiday challenge created just for pet photographers who want to increase their visibility, book more clients, and finally feel more confident in their marketing. Think of it like an advent calendar… But instead of chocolate, you unlock a new AI-powered marketing “gift” every day. Each tool gives you: - A quick win - A piece of content you can use immediately - Practical, pet-photographer-specific marketing ideas - A boost of momentum during the busiest (and sometimes most overwhelming) season of the year Some of the gifts you’ll unwrap include: - Blog post generator - Reel script generator - Holiday offer creator - 40/40/20 content calendar - Email ideas - Myth-busting carousel prompts - Lead magnet ideas - Past client outreach scripts… and lots more. Every tool is built to help you attract your ideal client, boost engagement, and show up consistently without spending hours planning content. Why am I telling you first? Because this community means everything to me, and you’ll be the first to: - See the beta version - Test the tools - Give feedback - AND get early access before I share it publicly If you’ve been feeling stuck, unsure what to post, or you want to stay visible in the holiday season when everyone is winding down, this is going to help you massively. I’m planning to launch this on December 8th. More details coming shortly… keep your eyes here. But in the meantime I am looking for 2-3 people to beta test it for me. It’ll be first come first serve. Comment HOWLIDAY if you want to test it out. Let’s make this the season you feel confident, consistent, and booked.

I received a really lovely email this evening from one of the recent clients I got an event giveaway. I've attached a screenshot of the email. The giveaway I did was the same one I do at every event. A complimentary session plus $300 print and artwork credit (which they can use as a credit or towards one 8x12 inch matted print). She spent $2,190 after the artwork credit. Just wanted to share this because I know there's a lot of people who says that you giveaways doesn't work. 40-50% of my clients this year has come from lead generating competition/giveaway I run at events. When you structure a giveaway properly, and you follow up with education plus give them an amazing client experience, they convert - The giveaway itself isn’t the “strategy”… it’s what you do after they enter that builds trust - If you’ve tried giveaways before and they didn’t work, it doesn’t mean they’re broken. It usually means the structure, the follow-up, or the positioning needs a tweak. Has a giveaway ever worked (or not worked) for you? Let’s chat in the comments.

Hi Ina, Do you have regular office hours? Or are they just when you have time?
