i run a photography company and we recently started offering a deal, which compared too our competitors is really cheap and our photographs are great.
basically £100 plus vat for a hour shoot (which either can be done in a studio or we bring our lighting and backdrops to your house if it make you more comfortable) and after the shoot we airbrush the images (if needed) and give you 3 A4 sized prints.
i have leafleted about 500 homes, have a pay per click campaign for it and show the off all over my website.
but i only really get one or 2 shoots with it?

any ideas to what i could do to find more interest in it?

I dont think that is really cheap. I have hired city based professionals who charge in that region for corporate stuff. (and with no vat).

To be honest, I don't think the price is that cheap I'm afraid!! That maybe the problem!

IMHO I think that all these 'dodgy' photograph offers that are around - where they offer a free photo or make over session then give you the time-share sell type treatment to try get you to buy loads more photos at really high prices with even higher priced frames and different finishes etc - makes people wary of photographers.

So maybe you could turn that around somehow. Sort of point out there are no hidden extras etc

i dont think that is overly expensive.......

maybe its the way its being marketed.
whats the wording on your ads...........it could be that, that is putting people off...

Its not really that cheap I know in Liverpool you can hire studio time for £75/hour and they offer pretty much the same as you and they have been going for a long time. Get your site on Kin2Kin its for Liverpool creatives, see what other photographers are charging, make it look slick, can you buddy up with maybe a make up artist too.

Personally when I see leaflets with photography promos on them I never really look as I assume its going to cost me an extra 300 quid to get more than just a passport sized photo. As mentioned I think you could have a go at trying to change that idea

It's pretty good, they have just had a networking evening as well I couldn't go no-one to watch the children but next time I think I will go you never know who you might meet hey!

You certainly don't Vick but I'll look out for that and let you know if I'm going so you can make sure your diary is full lol!

i suppose i have to explain that there are no hidden extras, we can come to your home with backdrop and lighting, have a hour or so shoot then you pick 3 images you want for the A4 sized prints and thats it.
if you look around 12x4 prints can be expensive and we've included everything in the £100.

what would you usually be willing to pay for that do you think?
