Tori Nefores: My best marketing move thus far has been creating a Facebook fanpage for my business. I've gotten a lot of great new clients from it.

carrie tucker: Best marketing idea, making small new mom gift bags for new moms and donating them to a local hospital with all my info in them.

carrie tucker: Worst.....Craigslist and pretty much giving away everything to get a client

carrie tucker: Posted about this giveaway on my Facebook page.

Danielle Simone: My best marketing so far is my model calls. I ask for models and provide everyone who enters with a $50 portrait credit. I only choose a few, but the others book sessions because they have the credit :)

Bobbie Lyons: My best marketing idea was referral cards... any client who refers me to a friend that books and completes a session, gets a gift certificate from me! I have to say, clients LOVE it and they really work!

Bobbie Lyons: Worst move... a contest for clients to send in their favorite family photo, they took, and win a session... not too many takers....

Bobbie Lyons: I spread the love on Twitter and Facebook!

Carolyn Fulginiti: Best.. Blogging ..

Carolyn Fulginiti: Worst.. Doing nothing.. Its always better to try a new marketing idea rather than do nothing at all

Carolyn Fulginiti: Tweeted about the contest... @carolynster ...Congrats on the updated blog!

Janice Kervin: My best marketing idea was trunk shows with an up and coming children's clothing designer in my town. We had everyone pay a small fee, get a 5x7 pic free and a gallery to choose other images from, and a discount on the clothes! It worked like a charm and got lots of people interested in family portrait shoots. :)

Janice Kervin: Worst - using only facebook to announce a photography display I had going on... I should have used newspaper, fb, blog, etc. etc.

Claire Cox: My best marketing idea ... well there hasn't been much yet, but it has been word-of-mouth and Facebook. I want to market more pretty soon!

Claire Cox: One of my worst ideas... not for marketing as much as it was out of necessity for me was to do a trade. They ended up wanting to really take advantage and it just didn't go very well. Live and learn.

Claire Cox: And I tweeted about this contest earlier in the week. :) Really hoping to win as this would REALLY help me out! Thanks so much for hosting!

Debbie Ellis: best marketing idea...word of mouth...make lots of friends and connect with non profits to give to the community. :)

Debbie Ellis: worst marketing idea? having sales. If you have sales, people will always be waiting for the next sale.

Thresa Ruggles: Best marketing idea was becoming a "business partner" with an area high school to offer specials to faculty and staff and get the "inside link" to recruit students for senior picture reps.

Thresa Ruggles: Worst idea; Do a free shoot with the promise of them "recommending others to me"... once it's free they have gotten what they want with no strings attached in their eyes.

Thresa Ruggles: Shared giveaway on my facebook page!

Amy Susi: My best marketing idea suprises even me. Craigslist. I am in a vactioning area and a lot look up a photog from other areas. I keep an ad up however, I do not cheapen the ad. I keep it at full price, with maybe a 'get a keychain free when mentioning this ad'

Amy Susi: the worst would be the newspaper. I paid good money for an ad, and recieved nothing. It was a quarter page full color ad and still, nothing.

Amy Susi: I posted on my blog under current contest =-) http://susiphotographyblog.blogspot.com/2011/05/contest.html

Ashley: My best marketing has been by joining other business owners and cross promoting. Also, Facebook and constant blogging has helped me in ways I didn't expect.

Jamie Hutchings: The best marketing for me has been to put my information on local neighborhood forums. I have gotten a lot of work in just the last couple of months from these forums.

Jamie Hutchings: Worst marketing....not bringing my business cards to a blogger event! Oops!

Amie: I don't have much yet , but my best idea was simple, just to let people around me know I am a photographer.
