Why is Dubsado the best CRM for photographers?
Filed under:
Let me be honest, the best CRM for photographers is the one you will actually use!
I just want you to pick one that you will actually use to save time (and money) inside your business.
But assuming you are ready to implement a CRM into your photography business, let me tell you why Dubsado is my favorite as a photographer!
Every CRM on the market can be used to centralize your client data and experience.
You can also create email templates for consistent communication in any CRM you choose.
Where Dubsado stands out from the competition is the brand features and automation triggers + actions available.
Dubsado Proposal Potential
As photographers and visual artists we spend a TON of time creating beautiful images. Additionally we typically spend a ton of time and money creating a website that highlights these images. Did you know it was possible to ask for the sale and display your work at the same time?
Now this took a little CSS magic, but it is totally worth the time and effort. This allows you to keep the same 5-minute automated booking process I rant about on my podcast, but also include your photos to remind the client WHY they contacted you in the first place! Did I mention my Dubsado VIP setup clients have reported higher conversion rates using a Dubsado proposal process?
Want your very own CSS-coded Dubsado proposal? I offer customization of my own form inside the Template Shop.
Now if I have hooked you on the idea of the proposal above, but not using CSS coding that’s okay! Creating a proposal inside Dubsado using the default features can still be AMAZING!
- full-width images
- columns for better design
- package options
- questions to collect information
Dubsado Workflow Actions + Triggers
Creating beautiful, on-brand assets is just part of the reason I recommend Dubsado as the CRM for photographers. Automation inside workflows helps you give each and every lead a consistent experience with little to no effort on your part.
With Dubsado Workflows you can:
- send an automated lead response to inquiries
- send schedulers to allow clients to book their own consultation calls without the back and forth
- send questionnaires based on a session date, after an appointment is scheduled, after a session is confirmed & booked, plus so much more…
What sets Dubsado apart from the other CRM for photographers is the “after form NOT completed” trigger. This is what allows you to fully automate your follow-up processes and book more of your leads without any additional effort from you.
Not ready for FULL automation yet? You can always add an approval button so that you can review assets and emails before they are sent, still saving you time in the creation phase.
