The Framework for Ads, Lead Generation & Client Conversion

Most photographers wait for clients to start searching.

Strategic studio owners create demand before the search ever happens.

In this class, you’ll learn how to build a modern marketing framework that positions your studio in front of potential clients at every stage of awareness... from problem-unaware to ready-to-book.

We’ll break down the difference between:

  • Active marketing (Facebook & Instagram ads that interrupt and create demand)

  • Passive marketing (Google search campaigns that capture existing demand)

  • And how to strategically use both without wasting money.

But traffic alone doesn’t book clients.

You’ll also learn how to:

  • Design a compelling lead magnet that attracts the right type of client

  • Build a simple but powerful lead generation funnel

  • Create a nurture sequence that turns cold leads into confident buyers

  • Move prospects from curiosity to commitment using intentional messaging

By the end of this session, you’ll walk away with a clear, strategic marketing framework you can implement in your studio... one that replaces random posting and boosted ads with a predictable system for attracting and converting high-quality clients.

If you’re ready to stop “hoping” for bookings and start building demand intentionally, this class is for you.

This will be a Professional Photographers of America CE course.
