Working With School Auctions

Description

This course is for the portrait photographer who needs to build their clientele & get their name out into their community! I will show you, step by step including scripts, how to easily partner with local auctions in order to generate money for the schools and ALSO gain wonderful & loyal clients quickly & easily.

You will learn what auctions are all about, who host them & who attends them, as well as the different versions of the event that are typically seen.

I'll show you why some donations are gold mines while others garner no attention at all & I'll teach you HOW to structure YOUR donation to be a success!

Donating to an event is a lot more than simply giving a donation & hoping it brings in a client. Where most people fail to make these events profitable for them is in their failure to have a solid strategy for the donation. This course will teach you, via easy to follow videos & supplemental PDFs with scripts & an action plan, my exact strategy that has proven to be very successful over the last 15 years in keeping my calendar full of wonderful, high paying clients who value what I provide.
