Marketing With Images to Get More Bookings
80% of what your booker remembers when they visit your website is visual. This means your images, graphics and the videos are your most effective tools to covert browsers into bookers.
Colette Kelly is a professional photographer with a special skill. Colette has been photographing magic shows and magicians for over a decade and she has discovered the formula for catching the emotion of the show in an image. Colette shows us how certain images create an subconscious buying desire and how you can use them to get bookings.
Colette is married to a magician and she herself works as Doodle the lady Magician. Colette is a performer and lecturer and the official photographer for the UK Kids and Family entertainers convention Trix In the Stix.
Colette shares the secrets of big business advertisers as she describes just what it is that bookers are looking to buy from entertainers. See how a single image generated over $1000 in bookings in a 28 day period.
