536: Marie Wulfram – How to utilise event giveaways to generate photography leads

Premium Members, click here to access this interview in the premium area. Marie Wulfrmam of www.mariewulframphotography.com is definitely an animal lover. She worked in veterinary medicine for over eight years before pursuing a career in pet photography. COVID opened the door for her to start her business and go after her dream of being a pet photographer. It took just over a year to crack the six-figure milestone. And she did it without making consultation calls and pretending to be an extrovert. On her About page, she shares that she's autistic, introverted, and prefers to stay behind the computer and camera. She's been recommended to me by multiple Premium Members, who have said I need to get her on the podcast. I'm rapt to say how right they were and loved everything Marie shared, including her strategy on how to utilise event giveaways to generate photography leads and bookings with happy clients who go on to make fantastic purchases, averaging over USD$3,000!
