In the modern age of digital technology, online reviews and testimonials can help you find the perfect photographer who matches your vision and style.

Locating photographers near me can be a challenging task, especially when you want to find the best in the business. One effective method to assist in your search is leveraging online reviews and testimonials. This article will guide you on how to use these resources to your advantage.

Why Online Reviews and Testimonials Matter

Online reviews and testimonials are powerful tools for any business, especially in the photography industry. These reviews not only confirm the credibility of a photographer but also provide insight into their customer service and quality of work. Prospective clients find comfort investing in photographers with positive testimonials, knowing they have a supportive client base.

The Power of Social Media

Social media platforms like Facebook play a significant role as they provide real-time feedback from clients. Potential clients can view comments and reviews from previous customers, which aids in their decision-making process.

Where to Place Testimonials on Your Website

Integrating testimonials strategically on your website can help convert potential clients into paying ones. Here are some effective places to put them:

On the homepage: The first impression matters. When visitors land on your site, seeing a positive testimonial can immediately create a favorable impression.

Info and FAQ pages: These sections provide comprehensive information about your services. Placing a testimonial here reassures a potential client that they are making the right choice.

On the pricing page: Testimonials here can help potential clients understand the value they receive for your pricing.

The Impact of High-Quality Testimonials

While testimonials praising the beauty of your work are welcome, what truly makes a difference are those that speak about the client experience. Reviews about your exceptional customer service and the overall experience working with you can be more effective in winning clients.

How to Obtain Powerful Testimonials

The secret to getting impactful testimonials is not just to ask for them, but to ask strategically. You can create a post-service survey with leading questions that are likely to yield the kind of testimonials you want. For example, if you want a quote for your pricing page, ask something like, "Do you feel the service you received was worth the price paid? Why?"

Utilizing Online Surveys

Creating online surveys is a great way to gather testimonials and feedback to improve your service. There are numerous tools available for this, with Gravity Forms being a popular choice due to its user-friendly interface and customization options.

Conclusion

In conclusion, online reviews and testimonials play a vital role in finding the right photographers near me. They provide an insight into the quality of work and customer service provided by the photographer. By strategically placing these testimonials on your website and asking the right questions in your surveys, you can leverage them to attract more clients.

Sephardic Jews from Thessaloniki in their traditional costumes, in the city’s old cemetery, before the war // a contemporary photo that shows where the destroyed cemetery once was, which is now Greece's largest university, built partially on top of and with land and materials (particularly tombstones) stolen from the razed site.

Thessaloniki or Salonika, once referred to as “the Jerusalem of the Balkans” due to its Ladino-speaking Jewish majority, saw roughly 96% of its Jewish population murdered during the Holocaust. This mass destruction extended to the city's Jewish cemetery, which had been the country's largest, established in the 15th century and housing hundreds of thousands of Jewish graves until its razing by city authorities who had long desired to repurpose the land and resented the inconvenience of Jewish presence. Despite its large-scale destruction during German occupation in 1942, which was initiated and carried out primarily by Thessaloniki authorities with Nazi consent and arrangement, some parts of the cemetery survived intact as late as 1947. Many tombstones were subsequently appropriated and used by city authorities and the Greek Orthodox Church. After the war, people were still carrying away Jewish gravestones each day and regularly looting the cemetery in search of valuables. The city's officials, led by their mayor, completed the cemetery's destruction and sold the tombstones to contractors for use as building materials in various projects; as such many were and are still found in various walls, roads, structures, and churches around the city. A 1992 commemorative book pictures Greek schoolgirls playing Hamlet with skulls and other bones they found in the cemetery.

“[T]he ‘rape’ of the cemetery escalated, marble flooded the market, and its price plummeted. Jewish tombstones were stacked up in mason’s yards and, with the permission of the director of antiquities of Macedonia and overseen by the metropolitan bishop and the municipality, used to pave roads, line latrines, and extend the sea walls; to construct pathways, patios, and walls in private and public spaces though out the city, in suburbs such as Panorama and Ampelokipi, and more than sixty kilometers away in beach towns in Halkidiki, where they decorated playgrounds, bars, and restaurants in hotels; to build a swimming pool – with Hebrew-letter inscription visible; to repair the St. Demetrius Church and other buildings...” Devin Naar, Jewish Salonica: Between the Ottoman Empire and Modern Greece

Most of the efforts to return found tombstones throughout the city are led by Jews, particularly Jacky Benmayor, the curator of the Jewish Museum and last Ladino speaker in Greece, who has personally recovered hundreds of tombstones including his own family's. Surviving Greek Jews never received compensation for the confiscation of the land under the destroyed cemetery, upon which now partially rests Greece's largest university, Aristotle University, which also used Jewish gravestones as building material for its long-coveted expansion finally made possible by the dispossession and annihilation of the city's Jews. In 2014, 72 years after the cemetery's destruction and appropriation, a small memorial was established on campus grounds to acknowledge the Jewish cemetery the school is built on and with; the ceremony just 10 years ago involved the first-ever acknowledgement of the atrocities and apology from a Thessaloniki mayor. The memorial has been vandalised multiple times since its establishment.

Welcome to my silly, goofy little photography blog!! I started this to share the good, the bad, and the ugly photos I take. My name is Sandra and I'm based in Sweden, and I shoot mostly animals and nature for funsies. I work part-time as a freelance photographer focusing on children's photography and family photography, but I am looking to branch out! I strive to post at least once a day, but sometimes it might be up to twenty times a day. It honestly depends lol. If you like my work and would like to help me do what I love you can do so in several different ways;
