Elevate your photography business

  1. Create an emotional experience
    Start your sales session with a slideshow that gives clients an emotional connection to your photographs before you start talking prints and wall art. Add music and a few behind-the-scenes video clips to elevate the experience, whether clients are visiting you in your studio, or tuning in for a remote reveal.
  2. A new addition to your sales package
    These professional slideshows can be sold on their own, or bundled with your other photography services. Stand out from the rest by offering these videos at specific price points for clients, and even using them as an upsell once a photoshoot is completed.
  3. Gain new clients while you work
    Animoto is so fast and easy to use, you can literally piece together a project in the time it takes you to grab lunch. If you just captured a wedding ceremony, you can present a same day slideshow to play at the reception. This is also a great way to gain future clients who are attending the event.

Social growth potential

  1. Photo to video
    Put your images in motion. Just because you take photos for a living, doesn't mean you can't incorporate video into your marketing. Creating video slideshows set to music is one of the best ways to showcase your work.
  2. Pick any platform
    Pinterest, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter… the list goes on. We want you to reach your ideal audience wherever they may be, which is why we let you upload your content to so many social platforms.
  3. Engage more clients with video
    When it comes to social media, video outperforms static images by nearly a 4-to-1 margin. Thankfully, you don’t need to hire an expensive videographer or buy a video camera on your own to produce video content. Easily create a professional slideshow video or your photographs.

Photo Marketing Tips

  1. Leverage your photos as videos
    Videos or slideshows outperform static images any day of the week. Just because your main skill set is photography, it doesn’t have to keep you from producing long-form content. Connecting with an online audience means catering to their preferences. Start interacting with them on a different level through video.
  2. Share a sneak peek
    Right after the session, share your photos in a short video with them, and let the client do your marketing for you. They will post to social media, share with their audience, and get the word out about your promptly delivered project.
  3. Promote your next event
    Create a video to advertise your next mini-session or seasonal event. Bring the occasion to life and advertise your services in a compelling way.
