New Client Information Form

What other things should I include on a new client information form I have people fill out? I mean other than name/address/contact information...

Re: New Client Information Form

"How did you find out about me?", very important.

Also, make the form part of a data base, and give each one a serial number. That way you can make them searchable, and you can use that serial number to archive the job.

Right now I'm using it when people come into my studio for passport photos. It gives them a little something to do while I'm processing and printing their images.

Re: New Client Information Form

Curtis,

My question is what are you going to do with the information once you have it? Are you asking your customers to supply their e-mail address?

Re: New Client Information Form

Ultimately my purpose for having people fill the form out is to add them to my contact list. I constantly want to build the network of people that I can inform about new promotions, new products and services etc. A secondary purpose is to occupy people's time while they are waiting for me to process and print out their passport photos.

I've provided a sample of the form as it currently stands.

Re: New Client Information Form

How did you hear about us....NOT important. I mean, do you really care? They are going to tell you. And if you really want to know, ask them when you are photographing them.

Do you want to receive updates and discounts, whatever that says...OF COURSE they do! Who wouldn't. Don't ask! Send them! If they don't want them, they'll tell you.

What I WOULD ask, their birthday, their anniversary, their hobbies, their favorite teams, etc.

Every birthday or anniversary I send a card to my clients. Handwritten. Often times, I'll give them a phone call. Everyone enjoys a birthday wish.

Hobbies, etc. these are going to help you with photography ideas, poses and props that create images that SELL!!
