The first mural you sell in your community will be the hardest, because the average person, unless he has seen pho-tomurals, finds it difficult to visualize what striking effects they can achieve.
After you have sold one and had it installed, or perhaps put one in your own home, you can take pictures of the room with the mural to show prospective clients. Once you have a few of your murals on display, you'll find they sell themselves.
If you have the knack or can master the technique of making people look their very best in pictures, there is a pleasant and profitable career or sideline opportunity in portrait photography waiting for you in portrait photography, despite the cutthroat competition offered by the department stores, the chain studios and the ambitious amateurs.
If weddings are nothing but hard work and no joy for you, use an alternative that will bring in family sittings. Enclose a card that reads: "Thanks for coming to us for your senior portraits. It has been a pleasure to serve you. Here is a bonus for you. This card is worth $10 toward the purchase of a 5 x 7 portrait of your family in natural color. Here is your opportunity in portrait photography to provide a family portrait that will become a treasure in the years ahead. Please make your appointment by July 1. Don't throw this card away. It is worth $10 to you." |
