A photography subscription business is a service in which customers pay a recurring fee to receive access to photography instead of the customer purchasing the photography for themselves. In a subscription model, the customer returns the photography to the seller at the end of the contract period.
There are several steps you need to take to start a photography subscription business — as with starting any kind of business. Some of the key steps include:
When setting up a photography subscription business, key factors to consider include defining the fulfillment and shipping methods, creating a user-friendly website and ordering process, building partnerships with photography brands and suppliers, and developing a solid marketing strategy to attract and retain customers. It's also good to remember that a photography subscription model may work better with certain categories of photography than others.
It depends on whether you are a creator or a retailer. For creators, it's simple as you produce the photography you want to sell subscriptions to. If you're a retailer, you have to look for suppliers who can provide you with the photography you want to offer. You can, for example, use creator marketplaces, attend galleries, or search online.
A photography subscription business should develop a robust acquisition and retention marketing strategy. Effective strategies for customer acquisition include, for example, social media, paid advertising, and influencer partnerships. Building a strong brand and creating inspirational and educational content can also help attract and retain customers. Rewarding loyal customers with exclusive promotions and discounts can also work great in growing your subscriber base.
