We spoke to Kellie Tweeddale from KT Photography about her business and how she uses ServiceSeeking.com.au to win new clients.
What does your business do?
We specialise in wedding photography throughout Victoria and all of Australia, but we also do parties and events.
How many jobs have you quoted on?
I’ve quoted on many jobs and had a fantastic response. I joined the site about a year ago and it’s really helped to build my business. I had a baby in January this year. I wanted to increase my photography work, and ServiceSeeking.com.au has been perfect in allowing me to be a mum and a successful business owner.
How many new customers have you won?
In 12 months, I’ve won about 15 new customers, which has helped create great word of mouth as well.
Is ServiceSeeking.com.au successful in helping you win work?
Yes. The quoting process is simple and gives me a chance to promote my business to people who may not otherwise have known about KT Pearl Photography. It opens up many new leads, and although I certainly don’t win every job I bid for, I win enough, and as I continue to get great feedback on my work, that rate increases.
What other types of marketing does your business do?
Internet advertising – does very little compared to ServiceSeeking.com.au I get the odd enquiry, but most of my work comes from ServiceSeeking.com.au and word of mouth.
How do they compare to ServiceSeeking.com.au?
They don’t.
Any tips for new businesses?
Just keep at it – don’t give up. There are up times and down times, but if you persevere and are honest and upfront, you will succeed.
