One big part of being a small business owner is the ability to stay organized. There’s a whole other side to photography that oftentimes goes unnoticed. Organization. As photographers, we wear many hats. Not everything we do is just taking pictures! There’s advertising, marketing, social media, correspondence, and bookkeeping. When I started out I’m pretty sure I was keeping track of my expenses through excel sheets.
Early on I thought that there had to be a quicker, more efficient way of organizing my income and expenses. But I also wanted to create a professional way in which I could communicate important documents like invoices, contracts, and questionnaires to my clients.
After doing a bit of research I realized there were many, many CRM (customer relationship management) systems out there. I did my homework, read through reviews, asked questions, watched demos, and finally settled on 17hats.
