With these insights, here’s a guide to fine-tuning your profile and troubleshooting common issues that clients may face when browsing.
Agorum photographers and DJs have the key responsibility of clearly communicating the quality and scope of their services. Here’s how to address common client questions effectively.
Clients often want to see examples of work from events similar to their own. This helps them envision the final result.
Try This: Include at least 10 photos per collection with a cohesive visual style. DJs should aim to upload 3 videos and 5 photos or additional media. More samples make it easier for clients to feel confident in booking.
When clients can’t find the style they’re envisioning, it creates hesitation. A portfolio with specific categories helps clients feel aligned with your aesthetic.
Try This: Group photos by category, such as “Event Photos for Speaker Events” or “Party Photography.” Each collection should feature 8-10 photos from the same session in high resolution. Keep styles consistent to provide a clear vision of your work.
Nothing is more frustrating for clients than finding a creative they love who isn’t available on their date.
Try This: Enable calendar availabilities and the “Available for Work” toggle on your profile. Refer to this tutorial for guidance on setting up booking dates. Guide to Setting Calendar Availabilities
Pricing is important for both the consumer and creative. Use Agorum's AI-pricing recommendations to set fair rates for the local area.
Try This: Experiment with different pricing and check other Agorum profiles for benchmark rates in your category. Adjust your pricing to reflect your expertise while remaining competitive.
Clients want to feel like they’re hiring someone they can trust. Limited personal information on your profile can erode trust.
Try This: Craft a detailed description that answers the “why me” question. In three paragraphs, cover:
Adding these details helps clients connect with you and feel confident in their choice.
