“Light tomorrow with today” - Elizabeth Barrett Browning
If you want to make your photographer's day, head to their FB business or Google page and leave them a glowing review!
Reviews are everything to small businesses, because they really help new clients and customers trust that they will have a positive experience if they choose to book a photo session or purchase products.
Why should I write a review for my photographer?
Did you know that many people trust online reviews almost as much as they trust personal recommendations from their friends and families? Also, over 90% of people take the time to read a variety of online reviews before they choose to purchase a product or to hire someone to perform a service. A consistent stream of positive Google reviews can really help a business to appear higher in local search engine rankings, therefore increasing their visibility online and putting their products and services in front of more potential clients.
A huge part of the decision-making process for a new client includes reading reviews online from others about their experience. When someone sees lots of positive feedback, it really helps them to feel confident about choosing to reach out and start the process of scheduling their own photo session. Public reviews and testimonials that you share really help potential future clients gain trust in our services!
Hearing feedback from our clients also give valuable insights that help us to improve the experience for future clients. And it's important to consider the impact that a single review can have on a small business! If you have negative feedback or some constructive criticism about your experience with your photographer, it's best to first reach out in a direct email and explain the problem to them in a kind and compassionate way instead of choosing to post a negative review online. Odds are your photographer will be able to resolve the problem for you quickly and easily. We work very hard to make sure that each and every one of our clients has a wonderful experience and truly want to know how we can serve you better.
If you take a few minutes out of your day to leave a review or testimonial, I can guarantee that your photographer will deeply appreciate it. Reviews are EVERYTHING to small businesses!
