How to run your photography & videography business with TheCEOApp
TheCEOApp team ·
A photographer's work isn't done at the shoot. Editing and delivery can take weeks, and the balance is often paid at delivery.
TheCEOApp tracks each job to delivery, with the money beside it.
From booking to delivery
Move each job through booking, shoot, editing and delivery.
Deposits and balances
Record the deposit at booking and the balance at delivery. Clients who owe show in one list.
Albums and prints
Sell albums, frames and flash drives from stock on the same receipt.
Record every sale in seconds
Add what you sell once, for example photo album, photo frame and flash drive (with pictures), and services like wedding coverage, birthday shoot and studio session. Suggestions for a photography & videography come up as you type, so you don't start from a blank page.
Then record a sale by tapping the items, scanning a barcode or simply saying it out loud. The receipt goes to the client on WhatsApp with your logo, and part payments are kept against their name.
Keep stock the way you count it
Count stock by event, hour, photo and album. Start with the biggest unit you buy in, say how many smaller ones fit inside, set a price for each and sell in whichever unit the client wants. Stock goes down as you sell, and you're warned before you run out.
Track each job from start to finish
Every job moves through your own steps (typically 1 day), with the deposit, costs and profit beside it:
- Booking
- Shoot
- Editing
- Delivery
