The Reasons Behind Christmas in July

Let me clarify, this is not to shoot Christmas Minis in July. Several years ago I did a campaign for 1-2 weeks and it went over swimmingly! I'm a big fan of doing this promotion because of the following reasons.. First, it allows you to book early! I hate feeling like I'm scrambling and waiting until Christmas season is here means I will be. A lot of people procrastinate around the holidays, so to allow clients to book early you're saving them and yourself from the last minute cycle! Another reason I love this promotion is it gets me in front of clients! Most people aren't thinking of Christmas in July so this actually catches their eye when they see it. I'll also say, July tends to be a slower month in photography. At least for me, my clients aren't typically booking in the heat of summer! So, doing a Christmas in July promotion boosts my overall revenue. And the best part – the market isn't overly saturated. Like I said it's a slower month overall and you have a lot less marketing competition than you do in the Fall!

If you've never thought of doing this promo, now is a great time to try! The worst that happens Is it doesn't book. But it could give your business a boost and lighten the load during busy season. Give it a try and start prepping now!
