Extreme Makeover Photography Website Edition

Join us on July 22nd at Blue Sky Rental Studios as PhotoShelter co-founder Grover Sanschagrin demonstrates how web sites must evolve in order to support photographers’ online business goals.

Grover’s talk draws on 26 years of photo industry and web technology experience as well as the research and findings of five PhotoShelter e-books he has helped to author on online marketing for photographers. (These exhaustive reports are free downloadable guides offering useful tips, expert advice and useful strategies for photographers looking to continue their education and build thriving photo businesses online.)

Grover will discuss the essential tools, features and designs that photographers must consider as they update their own web sites to attract more visitors and convert them into clients. He will also share insights from PhotoShelter’s comprehensive Image Buyer Survey about photography websites, and offer strategies to help drive more traffic through search engine optimization and social media strategy.

In addition, Grover will discuss the importance of measurement tools like Google Analytics to inform online marketing and web site design decisions. Throughout his presentation, Grover will also share dozens of examples of successful photography web sites and will expose the key traits of the masters of marketing photography online.

Expect to leave well-armed with new tools to improve your web site performance and reach your business goals - whether you intend to book more event clients, assignments and commission work, generate online image sales, or simply build a following for your art.

So join us on the evening of July 22nd at Blue Sky Rental Studios. And be sure to come early and enjoy the best photographic social hour in San Francisco!
