My Story
• How I went from 51 shoots in 2011 to nearly 600 last year in less than twelve months.
• From me on my own to 2 studios and 6 staff from March 2012.
• Projecting 1000 shoots this year
• What recession?
First Have a Business Plan
• What's everybody else doing and do something different.
• Become a mystery shopper for your local competition and do a SWOT analysis.
• You will earn trust from clients a lot faster if you cut away styles of shoots that you just play with because you went on a course or seminar once. All the people that stand up and talk about their business do so!
• Know what you want to sell and get greedy! Work on the numbers a lot more.
• Specialise and become famous for THAT thing! Not trying to please everybody.
• Branding - Logo, colours, stationery, website, clothing your car? Fix this first and build trust. Cost this all out and stage the changes if you need to.
• How much money do you want to make (This is not sales it is profit)
• Don't listen to the news! Media love to groan and moan about everything that is what they do! This creates depression thus lack of get up and go!
Get Organised & Tidy
• Have a good diary system - Google calendar.
• Spend 2 days per year (Normally January) working out your marketing activities per day and plot them. School and national holidays in your area plot.
• Book your holidays and days off!
• File system for paperwork. Get a label printer really helps.
• Have homes for everything! From the supplier catalogues to the spare A4 paper for the printer. Store, sell or throw away things you are not using.
• Light Blue Software data base or another good client and shoot management system.
Are You Any Good To Be Able To Charge For It?
• Don't kid yourself, just because your friends and family say you are good don't mean your must be.
• Get harsh feedback from experts. BIPP help by entering competitions and gaining qualifications will help provide you with self confidence thus charge more money making more profit meaning more holidays without using the credit card!
Where Else Do Your Customers Shop Or Visit?
• Affiliation marketing explained
• Talk to current GOOD clients about everything. Be nosey in a conversation, sound interested and soak up the information. What car dealer, restaurants, shops, hair dresser, home decor places, garden centres, schools, day care centres etc
• Build your "Partner Pack". Use this to present your business to other businesses that share the SAME GOOD CLIENTS

BIPP Competitions & Awards
Spring is always a busy time for awards – our South West regional awards are due to be presented in the next few days – thank you to all of our shortlisters, who have had quite a wait due to the weather a while ago. The annual awards night in the North West is in a couple of weeks, alongside a packed day of workshops and trade show, and the Northern Ireland awards are in April, following workshops with David Stanbury FBIPP and Kevin Pengelly FBIPP, qualification assessments and reviews.
We're also coming up to the deadline for both the national Wedding & Portrait awards and the BIPP Student awards – remember to get your entries in by the end of March!
We're often invited to support awards outside of the organisation too. It's a great way for us to look at the work being produced by people who aren't necessarily BIPP members and it helps to raise the profile of the Institute. For the second year, Roy Meiklejon FBIPP has represented us as a judge for the Pink Lady Food awards, and he'll be at their exhibition on behalf of BIPP, at the Mall Galleries in a few weeks time. He has also acted as a judge for this year's Venture awards, due to be presented shortly.
Competitions and awards are a great way of reviewing your recent work – keep an eye on www.bipp.com/awards for details of all upcoming BIPP competitions.
Good luck to all our members who have entered any of these competitions!

An Afternoon with Paul Wilkinson FBIPP - 17 April
 |
| Copyright: Paul Wilkinson Photography |
Paul Wilkinson was awarded his Fellowship of the BIPP in January 2012 and has built a hugely successful business with a unique studio setup in the beautiful Buckinghamshire village of Haddenham.
Join Paul for a talk about his business, how he approached setting up the new studio last year (and lessons learnt!), work flow practices, and how key relationships have played a vital role in the growth of the business.
Best known for his environmental portraits, there will also be a practical outdoor session in the private garden on the studio doorstep. So remember to bring your camera!
As well as being the partner photographer to Le Manoir aux Quat’ Saisons, Paul spent last summer photographing with Cadbury for their Olympics programme and he will happily share some of the stories.
