Integrating Email Marketing

While Iris Works organizes your business, email marketing is your communication lifeline. Regular newsletters keep your audience engaged and informed. Here’s how you can integrate email marketing with your photography business:



1. Building Your List

Utilize Iris Works to gather email addresses during the booking process. Always ensure you have consent to send marketing emails.

  • Mobile Optimization: Most emails are read on mobile devices, so format your content accordingly.


Planning Your Year

To avoid last-minute rushes, plan your newsletters in advance. Here’s a simple framework:


  1. Quarterly Themes: Decide on themes or focuses for each quarter.
  2. Monthly Highlights: Plan specific topics or features for each month.
  3. Weekly Tasks: Break down your tasks into manageable weekly goals.
