This week we are chatting to US family photographer & educator, Annemie Tonken about how to grow your business through online galleries.
If you have always done in-person sales, and are now struggling to sell via online galleries since Covid hit, this is the episode you need to listen to!

Here are some of the topics we talk through with Annemie....
- How to respond to enquiries
- Why it's so important to educate your clients before they book, and the best ways to do this
- How to send a client their images for the most effective result
- Why collections are an important part of the sales process
- Why we should sell products to our clients and not only digital images.
