Relocating course suggestions?

I guess it depends in large part what / who your target clients is /are (??). There are tonnes of material on this forum with targets for each genre . . .

 

Hmm, true. I suppose portrait would fit best. I'm sure there *are* things already here, I'm just not sure what I'd search for
Relocating with weddings would be pretty easy in regards to transition!

 

Yeah, that's a tough one. Your work will speak for itself, it's just the whole process of re-establishing your client base. It's sort of hard to do the metrics of "word-of-mouth" when (re-)starting afresh. You've got to market according to your peers doing comparable work but add value-for-service without underselling yourself. Add to that you'll be the new "gun" in town - ya want to be cordial (there's always that sense of competition) but likewise don't want to piss any of your peers off . . . business is funny in that sense.

Hopefully someone responds who has recently moved and re-established their business. Already having a website or other comparable "portfolio" goes a long way to assisting that process; it's then just a matter of updating for the relocation.

 

It's also needing to begin marketing and working on seo months in advance, before having an actual studio address.

A lot of what you mentioned relates to already being there but ideally I'll find resources I can begin to use before I start packing or sign my lease I'm planning (hoping) to get the seo ball rolling 3 months or so before our move!

But yes, hearing from someone who's been through this would be incredibly helpful!

 

Best of luck to you! Hope you gather some useful nuggets of shared wisdom . . .
