I Can’t do Business Without This!
Accept from my laptop there is one thing I can’t be without in order to run my business.
It’s a service that in my eyes is priceless as it gives an experience and perception of me, my brand and my services that my business can’t be without.
IMAGINE THIS
Imagine that two friends are knocking on your door. Both have the exact same gift to give you.
A bracelet.
When you open the door they both reach out their hands to you to give you the gifts that they are bringing.
– One of the bracelets is just found in a plastic bag.
– The other bracelet is wrapped in a gorgeous box with a silk ribbon tied around it.
Which gift makes you most excited?
It will be the one with the pretty box and ribbon, right?
IT’S ALL ABOUT THE PRESENTATION
This psychology can be put in many situations in our lives. Especially for the service or products you sell.
If you present your work in a beautiful way, you are able to charge more for what you do.
It goes from your website, social media to freebies and other guides related to your business that you send to your potential customers.
Just go to the supermarket and to the pasta section. Compare the package of the cheapest tagliatelle against the most expensive one.
It’s all about the package!
WORK SMARTER NOT HARDER
I have lost the number of how many comments and DMs I have received from people that think my Instagram feed and website look gorgeous.
And how strange it even sounds, as I’m a photographer myself, I can’t take credit for it.
They are all coming from the best business resource EVER: HauteStock!
And I gladly pay for it!
Just because I know how much work there is behind every single photo!
This is a service that makes it incredibly easy for me to be the one that packages my offerings in a cute box with silk ribbons.
But it also saves me A TON of time.
Okay, there are a lot of free stock photos out there. But it takes time to find the ones with good quality that let you have a consistent style.
I can also say that I have access to other Stock Photos services via my clients and NO ONE has the same quality and consistent style as HauteStock.
IT INCLUDES EVERYTHING THAT YOU NEED
And if you thought that you only got stock photos in your subscription. You are wrong.
You got pre-made social media quotes, customizable Canva templates, IG caption prompts, marketing guides, stock videos, and design assets.
They also offer pre-made mood boards with curated image suggestions and if you want personalized image selections based on your branding personally selected by their designer.
AN PROFITABLE INVESTMENT
I know it’s not a small investment to make. But sometimes you have to spend money to earn money. And a subscription at the HauteStock will give you so much for the money you invest. Not just in photos, resources and knowledge and timesaving.
The most important of all…
A consistent and professional appearance that will set you apart from others in your industry, and that my friend is priceless.
UPDATE!
