Representing yourself online isn’t just about posting your new promotions online.
When you want to draw in those ideal clients and leave a lasting impression of yourself in their minds, then you have to start building a relationship with that audience.
Building that relationship and forging a bond of trust between you and your ideal audience is the key to bringing them to you, not the other way around.
One of the best ways to start building that relationship is to use stunning, professionally shot photography for your social media.
Using colorful and well designed graphics is always fine, but the majority of your pages’ should always incorporate dazzling photos of you.
People have a hard time trusting a business if they’ve never dealt with them, so even though your graphics look professional, you’re not building that bond of trust.
However, people are ready and willing to trust others, so by incorporating photographs of yourself on your business outlets, you are actively encouraging your audience to become your clients.
The benefits of using professionally taken photographs of yourself for your business greatly outweigh anything you can think of.
Here are just a few reasons why you should use more professional photographs.
Using professional photos will stop your audience’s scroll
People can recognize an ad from a mile away these days. In a day and age where people think they know what they do and don’t want, they will just scroll right past anything that remotely looks like an ad to them.
However, by using professional photography, you open a whole new door for your audience. You haven’t presented them with an ad, you’ve given them an invitation to be a part of what you’ve created to serve them.
Photographs place you as the expert
As a professional, you clearly know exactly what you’re doing when it comes to your business and the service you provide, but you can’t get that across to your ideal audience through compelling copy if they aren’t stopping to read it.
Using photography to capture yourself in action will display to your audience that you have the expertise to take on whatever they need.
They attach a face to the name of your business
Your business isn’t just a brick-and-mortar building or a bunch of code on someone’s screen. It’s something you built from the ground up to serve your ideal clients. So it only makes sense for you to portray it that way.
By using photographs of yourself, people will be far more inclined to see your business as an extension of yourself and who you are rather than something you want them to throw their money toward.
These are just a few of the reasons we at MEDIA – The Creative Agency highlight when we speak to our ideal audience and our own clients.
