APA | 2015 Sourcebook: Gain exposure for your photography for less than $1/day.

Fabris Mechanic

Exposing your work to photo buyers is a tough business. In recent APA panel discussions with the photo buying community we’ve learned a few things:

  • Photo buyers drown in hundreds of *spam* emails daily
  • With shorter production timelines, buyers are busier than ever
  • With the rise of social media, getting noticed is more difficult
  • Having a digital-only marketing strategy won’t get the job done
  • On average a well produced printed marketing piece gets noticed

With many photo buyers agreeing that printed materials cut through the clutter and get their attention – APA is proud to announce the printing of an annual Sourcebook that will be delivered to photo buyers and creatives across the country.

That’s right – APA has added a beautifully designed and printed Sourcebook to our member benefits. And, our Leader and Professional members receive a single page ad for free.

Our annual Sourcebook is a great addition to other APA member benefits designed to get your work exposure and get you in front of creative and photo buyers:

  • Portfolio reviews. APA hosts portfolio reviews that get our members a seat at the table to present directly to the photo buying and creative community. We have yearly reviews in the following markets: New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, and Atlanta.
  • Portfolio in APA’s creative network.
  • Searchable member profile on APAnational.org
  • Featured member project on APAnational.org home page (seen by over 15,000 unique visitors per month).

For less than $1/day you can access time-tested APA benefits that help you get exposure to the right audience and grow your photography business. LEARN MORE
