Wedding season is quickly approaching and photographers everywhere are getting ready for their busiest time of year. From double-checking their equipment to booking shoots, there’s certainly a lot of work to be done long before everyone says “cheese!”

In today’s competitive market, skilled photographers with great portfolios aren’t always enough to win a client’s business - they want the whole package. In addition to the photos, it’s standard nowadays for clients to expect fancy packaging and creative presentation of their photos. And even if they don’t expect it, why not go above-and-beyond to really wow your clients?

Here are some tips using custom StickerYou products to strengthen your business presentation, build brand identity, and exceed client expectations.

Custom Equipment Labels and Patches

As a photographer, I’m sure you’re well aware of how expensive equipment can be. Protect your gear from being stolen or lost with custom labels. Slap a custom label with your name, business name and contact info on your equipment boxes or a sew a custom patch on your camera bag to help ensure your equipment stays yours. After all, this equipment is vital to the success of your business.

Photo Stickers and Photo Magnets

On top of using photo stickers on your packaging, expand your product offering with custom photo sticker pages or magnets as part of what you’re selling to your client. Simply select some of the best photos and as stickers they could be a great memento for the client to personalize water bottles or mugs, or as a magnet, they could be the “Thank You” that your client sends out post-wedding. Your clients will love this unique and totally customized add-on that brings to life your beautiful images in yet another way.

Build Your Brand Affordably with Roll Labels

Is there part of your package that doesn’t vary from client to client? Custom roll labels are a cost-effective way to order labels that you know you’re going to use on each package you build. For example, most packages these days include a USB drive with photos stored on them so the client can easily share and post them online - why not brand that USB with a custom logo label? Our custom roll labels are very affordable starting at $0.30 a label and a low 250 minimum order quantity. It is a great option to ensure you’re connecting back to your brand on everything in the client package.

Address Labels

Custom Address Labels

Assuming you’re going to be mailing these packages out, custom address labels are perfect time-savers that can be used to make your package look even more professional. Create an address label with your logo, business address, and other contact info you’d like to include and voila! Clients will know exactly what your package is when it arrives and who it’s from.

Renowned American photographer Ansel Adams once said, “There is nothing worse than a sharp image of a fuzzy concept.” And while he was talking about actual photographs, the concept holds true in branding as well. Use custom StickerYou products to ensure you’re aligning all of your efforts under one brand and you’ll notice a difference in the way people interact with your brand in no time.
