PPA's Studio Management Services can help you build your photography business.
The SMS community brings together hundreds of PPA members each year with a dedicated team of business experts and mentors to provide support and guidance to help build more profitable photography businesses.
Business Services and Education for Photographers
PPA’s unique Studio Management Services group is a support team of PPA staff and accomplished photographers with collective expertise in financial management, business development strategies, marketing, pricing, sales – and a passion for mentoring others.
Together, we offer members the options of dedicated one-on-one support services, small- group workshops, webinars, and online resources, all designed specifically for photography businesses and studios. Our SMS workshops and resources are the only ones of their kind—built to help photographers develop financial plans, marketing and sales programs and business management skills specific to starting and growing a photography studio.
Starting a photography business?
SMS provides the tools and support to help you start and build a successful photography business. Since 2002, hundreds of studios have seen the results on their bottom line after working with SMS. We’ve helped under-performing studios grow their businesses, and showed successful studios how to increase their profitability. Our 2-Day Business Basics workshop is designed to help new and emerging studios who are just starting a photography business, or looking to grow their photography studio sales.
As a small business owner, we know it’s a balancing act to address the work at hand with the need to stay focused on the big picture of your evolving business. Whether you’re just starting your photography business or you’re already on the path to success, SMS can help you build a healthier business.
