#319: Stop Discounting and Start Manufacturing Demand

Season 4 Episode 319 Published 3 months, 3 weeks ago
Description

Ever feel like your calendar is packed in the fall, then painfully quiet by January? That feast-or-famine cycle can leave even talented photographers questioning what comes next.

In this episode, Sarah Petty unpacks why discounts, mini sessions, and desperate "now booking" posts often make slow seasons worse. Instead, she shares how profitable photographers create demand year-round by building strategic partnerships and meaningful campaigns that clients actually want to be part of.

You'll hear:

• Why discounting trains clients to wait and quietly devalues your work
• How partnerships with local businesses and charities can create consistent bookings
• The secret to building urgency without relying on sales or mini sessions

If you're tired of wondering where your next client is coming from, this conversation offers a smarter, more sustainable path forward. Press play and start building a business that feels steady in every season.
