How a Professional Commercial Photographer can Help Establish Your Brand

By Shawn Smith


With the International Monetary Fund forecasting another worldwide economic crisis in the short term future, many companies are tightening up their budgets. This is especially true when it comes to their marketing and promotion spending. This conventional kind if thinking is poor business practice. Without a degree of risk there isn't any reward. In addition you give your competitors the option of getting the jump on you should they not stop their spending on promotions.

Many businesses should use this amazing opportunity to establish their brand to the market. With the public already scared, they require a good excuse to spend their money. The right image, the right advertising can supply such an opportunity.

If your branding hasn't been established, now is the time to employ a professional image photographer. Why? Because they can create your brand to the general public with one good shoot.

Though they are not cheap, this is negotiated and offers a great ROI if done right. Just be absolutely sure you do your analysis to understand what perception you need to offer potential clients. The brief will decide how a commercial photographer is able to deliver the message. Brands like Apple have spent millions developing their brand using commercial photographers. Clearly they have a lot more cash at their disposal, but as discussed earlier, no risk means no reward. When you think about Apple products, automatic images come to your mind. This is the result of spending on commercial photography.

Even if you do not have much money, ask around within your networks if they know of any good pro commercial photographers. There could be one who is looking to fill in their time and would be ready to negotiate down on their usual rates. Also favours done now, don't often get forgotten later on.

So do the right thing by your company and employ a commercial photographer to get the highly competitive edge.
