Advertising and Promotion

If folks don't know you're selling, they're unlikely to buy from you. Many photographers send out promotional mailings, which, besides postage, have costs for design, printing and possibly for purchasing a mailing list. There are also Yellow Pages ads, other directory listings (online and in print), business cards, pricing brochures and special portfolio production costs. Costs of putting on a special show of your pictures might go in this category. Some businesses in some markets also benefit from newspaper and/or magazine display and classified ads. Some folks budget a share of revenues toward this. Consider the same. But forget about being successful without tooting your own horn at least a bit.
