Photographers Need Perks Too - A Referral System for Success



Photographers Need Perks Too - A Referral System for Success

After a few months in the making, and collection of photographer’s thoughts, Sew Trendy is rolling out a new referral program.

Events like WPPI, Imaging, and Photoshop workshops inspired this new idea. We looked at ways to better benefit the hard-working entrepreneurs of the photography world.  A creative career is tough work, add on clientele retention, marketing, and hours of editing, and you have a whirlwind of responsibilities jam-packed into your journey. 

Sew Trendy was born from this same struggle and pays homage by finding ways to more efficiently support those who strive for success. By looking at what photographers need, Sew Trendy found the common thread of a well-stocked studio to be a major hurtle.

A well-stocked studio offers a competitive edge. The ability to provide on-site newborn props or exquisite gowns can make or break a profitable client relationship. With that, Sew Trendy wanted to offer a system for new and tenured photographers to more easily grow their business in maternity, newborn, and theme photography. 

The Sew Trendy referral program builds a full-studio wardrobe without capital. We are a brand that believes your referral is worth it’s weight. We’ve combined this ideology with our belief on self-made success and came up with the solution of affiliate perks.

We want you to talk about Sew Trendy, what we do, and what we stand for, so we can better support your goals.

By registering for an account on the Sew Trendy Accessories website, you will be provided with an affiliate link. This is your link to give to your friends, family, co-workers, clients, and other photographers in your community. By using this link, your clients will receive a 10% discount on their first purchase, and we will also load a $10 gift card onto your account. 

Don’t worry about spending your affiliate bank right away if you don’t have the need; those $10 gift cards can be compounded. Each person who utilizes your affiliate link for a purchase will grow your studio bank. Whether its five, 10, or more clients, you can spend your affiliate dollars on photography props, floral crowns, gowns, or anything we offer on our website. 

To further support your career, you are also able to pair that affiliate bonus with your photographer’s discount, other sales, and gift cards (a favorite for client giveaways and networking programs). 

The goal is to use this program to your benefit. To make this system work for your studio and further your path towards a profitable creative career, we encourage you to place an announcement of this partnership on your website to boost marketability and encourage new client traffic that pays you back with each purchase. Let us know, and we’ll provide you with the Sew Trendy logo to assist in increasing the clicks to your affiliate link. 

Another way to use this referral program to best benefit your business, is by placing it in your client photo package. Use the offer of a Sew Trendy 10% discount as a perk to retaining your services. We’ve found clients love to know where to go to style themselves, rather than taking on the discouraging, and often disappointing results, of online searches and questionable purchases. Knowing the quality of their purchases through direct referral can take the anxiety and stress out of the process, making a much more positive and memorable experience for you and them. 

To continue the theme of saving, building, and marketing, we also suggest a buyback bonus that will help build a studio wardrobe. After a session, create the opportunity for buyback by trade. If your client is willing to part with their gown, you can provide them with a print, discount, or whatever favorite bonus you offer. One affiliate purchase coupled with your buyback program means you’ve gained a client through the 10% discount offer at Sew Trendy, a $10 gift card to your account, and another gorgeous piece to add to your collection. This can create a more marketable brand and a higher chance of referral. 

Finally, another marketing technique to utilize with this partnership is by sharing with your affiliate link. With each photograph you post, a new client is an opportunity to add to your Sew Trendy referral account. 


We hope this new program can offer you the chance to build your studio, clientele, and marketing strategies. As an entrepreneur started brand, we know a creative career takes skill, hard work, and networking; so, keep at it you wonderful and tenacious minds. We’re excited to watch you reach each goal!
