Of all the gems Julie shared during our conversation, here are the key takeaways:
Strengthen Vendor Relationships: Photographers are key partners in capturing your amazing event work. Be polite when requesting photos, explain how you’ll use them (e.g., social media posts with tags), and offer to return the favor by sending referrals or featuring their work.
Get Tagged, Don’t Forget It: Didn’t get tagged in a photo by the photographer? Don’t be shy! Kindly ask them to add your credit and connect with you on Party Slate for automatic tagging in future collaborations.
Party Slate: Your Digital Presence Powerhouse: Party Slate showcases your work, attracts new clients, boosts referrals, and even lets vendors get tagged in event photos – a win-win!
