possibly
btw one wedding I shot, i talked with the caterer for quite a bit
she said they just very recently did a dinner for a party of 4
the pres of Commerce Bank, his wife, and 2 guests
party of 4
$1000 per person
I really think it's all about marketing and targeting the right place
if you target the people that don't wanna spend more than $50 on dinner.. that's the people you're gonna get, and they are gonna tell their friends about you, and then you'll be doing 365 $50 dinners a year to make ends meet
or you can target the people to whom $4000 on dinner is a drop in the bucket, and you can work once a month
I completely agree. But the problem is, how do I get to the point where I know people like that? How do I market to that audience?
lol yeah, something i'm still trying to figure out haha
getting involved with a good marketing firm helps
advertising in the right places in your area - you gotta spend money to make money - but yeah it takes a lot of work too just to figure out WHERE to spend your advertising money
oy
it's hard work
Find out about charitable events in your area...
or any prestigious event..
You usually can get lists of attendees from those things..
From there... shoot them a letter.
charitable events meaning... people paying 1000 dollar a plate for 3rd nipple syndrome or something
How would I get a list of attendees?
say you're starting a benefit for hurricane katrina victims and want to find people in your area who have the appropriate amount of money
Or I could just drive down the streets with the largest houses and get names off mailboxes...
Please. You have to pay me 49.99$ for those business secrets.
Ooh! What about payment by cookies?
