Scheduling Software for Photographers

Are you a photographer?

Being a photographer is hard. Not only do you have to deal with clients who often have outrageous demands, but scheduling appointments with said clients can be a nightmare.
Booking an appointment with a potential client can go one of two ways. Either you can send them an email and both of you decide when and where to meet, or you can call, email, and message them and yet still not decide on where and when to meet. In other words, it can either be incredibly easy or it can be absolutely painful.

Regardless of how companies try to convince you that the booking appointments can be as easy as ordering a pizza, it can never quite be like that. The simple reason as to why online booking can never be easy is because there are too many things to consider when taking up a project, and too many things that can’t go on a questionnaire.
Not meeting a client before accepting their proposal can make matters difficult, as there are sometimes very specific things that cannot be explained in an email or through a message.

However, regardless of all of the disadvantages that scheduling software provides, as a digital nomad it is still your greatest asset.

Save and Manage Time Better

For what is obviously the most basic benefit, good scheduling software will save you a lot of time. While it is true that not every detail for a job can fit in a single email, most jobs that you will get as a photographer will not require a lot of details. For the far and few jobs that will require face to face interaction, you will mostly have jobs that don’t require a lot of details saving you the hassle.

Better Task Management

A common misconception that people have when it comes to photographers is that they simply point and click. This is obviously false, as someone who even knows the basics of photography knows that most of your time will be spent in postproduction, editing the photos. That said, some projects can take hours while other can take days, but by using proper scheduling software you can plan out your workload better. This will save you time and will keep your customers satisfied.

Much More Accessible

You will not always have access to your laptop, or will not be able to use it because of low charge or any other problem. But you will always have access to your phone or tablet making the process of arranging clients and booking meeting or accepting jobs all the more easier. This means that wherever you are, as long as you have a phone and a stable internet connection, you can take advantage of the scheduling software.

More Efficient

Seeing as how you are better able to manage both your time and your tasks, you will automatically be more efficient with your work. Through the help of any scheduling software, you will be able to create a flow and will generally be better at your job.

Bookly is of course known to be the best scheduling plugin out there for WordPress, but I have to say their support is excellent. I ran into a migration issue for a client and Dmitry went above an beyond to help me ensure the transition was smooth.

A really great plugin for WordPress! I bought a license together with the Advanced Google Calendar add-on. It worked out of the box and if there are any questions: the support team is awesome!
