Dear Leicester Photographer
Renew or buy your online subscription to the new and improved
Leicester Photographers Directory!
Beat the Credit Crunch.
There's a temptation to reduce your advertising during these difficult times. It is even more important than ever to get your website noticed.
Improve Your Bookings With Our New Improved Directory !
Try this at Home... Do a search in Google for "Leicester Photographer". Does your website appear on page one or two? If not you need to join The Leicester Photographers Directory as we are the only directory purely designed to promote your photography business in Leicestershire. We don't do cars, cakes or confetti just cameramen. We are easy to find as we are the ones at the top of page one.
This is a typical pie chart showing how the web site of one of our directory listings is found. You will notice that 27% 0f surfers found the web site by following a link from the Leicester Photographers Directory.
Google.com and Google.co.uk have a higher combined total of 29% but this figure is misleading as most people in the UK only use the UK version of the search engine (16%).
Qualified Links
Also links from the directory are known as qualified links because the surfer already knows what sort of photography you do, where you are based and they have already seen an example of your work. Links from highly rated web sites like the Leicester Photographers Directory also improve your page rank so your site come higher up the search engine pages.
Free Advertising
First of all a big thank you for your continued support of the highly rated Leicester Photographers Directory.
Many of you have probably noticed that you haven't been invoiced for some time and have had a quite a few months free advertising on the site. This is because we have been busy designing a new and improved website to help you to find more customers. Now the Directory is purely aimed at finding customers for photographers and videographers and no longer has a web design section or other distractions.
Time Saving
Also the previous website took up a lot of my time updating, chasing invoices and sending out reminders. I'm sure you all know how that feels. This new website has a subscription payment system which makes it easier for you to pay by credit card or PayPal and automatically issues you with a receipt you can include with your tax return. It also takes care of the renewals for me.
Renew for Just 20 pence per day?
It’s time to renew your business card advert on the improved Leicester Photographers Directory. Renewal cost is £75 for the year, which is excellent value for year round 24/7 365 days a year marketing online and works out at around 20 pence a day. We think you’ll agree this is a much more cost effective method compared to print and radio ads. Because you are an existing member we will guarantee to hold the renewal charge it at this price for at least the next 2 years.
Save Money on Printed Adverts
A fairly small advert in the Yellow Pages will cost you about £500-£1000. A small ad in a free sheet with a village distribution will probably cost about £30-£50 and will hang around for a few days at best. Some of my online advertisers have either reduced the size of their printed adverts or cancelled them completely.
Google Adwords
Maybe you have considered Google Adwords. If so you will know that the search term "Leicester Photographer" currently costs about £1.75 per click. (That’s more than we charge for 8 full days) With just 5 clicks a day it is very easy it is to run up a bill of over £250 per month.
