"We acquired highly responsive leads with clear visions for their engagement sessions, wedding dates, and venues."
"IGNITE from FOCAL has been fantastic for our business, especially since we recently moved into a new area and market. We needed to quickly acquire images displaying the popular local engagement session locations that couples look forward to for their save the dates in New England.

The quality of leads was straightforward and improved over time as the process was refined. We acquired highly responsive leads with clear visions for their engagement sessions, wedding dates, and venues, which made the process of bringing them in for a smooth experience with our photography studio.

Having previously worked with advertising companies for business campaigns, I was familiar with common practices. When I saw the ideas that FOCAL brought to the table—offering a fresh perspective on wedding photography advertising—it was a no-brainer to jump in without hesitation.

Of course, I understand that other business owners may be reluctant to join such a program for fear of not receiving a return on investment. At the very least, you should book a discovery call with them to quickly see how ROI can be achieved, as long as you are willing to put in the work to provide an incredible client experience.

FOCAL was highly adaptive in modifying the campaigns as more data came in. I have worked with multiple ad agencies throughout the years, but only FOCAL and one other have provided significant results and sustainable models. FOCAL, however, went in-depth by offering tools and tips as the campaign evolved. This made it easy to adjust to new strategies quickly, providing a better experience for both the couples we serve and for our business growth."

What if I want to keep my current website instead of creating a new Focal Website?

If you're satisfied with your current website but are seeking to increase bookings through the IGNITE program, it suggests that your website might not be fully meeting your business needs. Here’s how we can work together:

  1. Recommended Switch to a Focal Website: We generally recommend switching to a Focal website to fully benefit from the IGNITE program. A Focal website is optimized for integration with our tools and strategies, enhancing your ability to achieve significant results.
  2. Alternative Option: If you prefer not to replace your current website, we can develop a separate Focal website specifically for your IGNITE campaign. This approach allows you to maintain your existing site while still leveraging the advanced features and optimizations of a Focal website for your advertising efforts.
  3. Consistency Across Platforms: Should you opt for a separate Focal website for advertising, we will need to align your social media presence with this new platform. This includes updating your Instagram 'link in bio' to direct to the new Focal website, ensuring consistency for your customers across your online touchpoints.

This dual approach ensures that your advertising is effective and cohesive, while providing flexibility in how you choose to integrate with the IGNITE program.
