\\nSome tips from Tess
\\nMake sure you personally show up in at least every 9th photo in your photo feed.
\\nMake sure you tell personal stories in each photo description. When people feel a connection to you they are more likely to buy from you.
\\nDo lots of behind the scenes content so that people feel like they know you a bit more.
\\nUse a client management for photography to transition people off of instagram to email. Tess recommends www.honeybook.com.
\\nTransition potential clients from email to a phone call or even better a video call.
\\nTips for working with Gen Z
\\nYou need to be personalized with your content. Gen Z know that their data is out there and expects everything to be tailored to them.
\\nFind creative ways of collecting information, but then respond back with a highly personalized answer.
\\nAs students are graduating from high school they aren\'t really in their email that much. However as they want to get jobs, they are realizing that email is the way to go for personalized and professional interactions. It all depends on what stage they are are as to whether they will be spending much time in their email.
