Hello everyone! 👋 We are very excited to share our launch of The Shoot with the Product Hunt community today! We built The Shoot to tackle several problems: ❌ Photographers struggle to reach new customers and waste too much time and money on marketing efforts that don’t pay off ❌ Customers often feel overwhelmed by choice and are confused by what’s included in each photographer’s package and the total cost of a photoshoot ❌ Customers don’t know which photographers they can trust and are worried about paying money upfront to a total stranger ❌ Photographers frequently don’t get paid on time or in full meaning causing them cashflow issues We, therefore, designed The Shoot with the following in mind: 📸 Photographers can benefit from our scaled marketing efforts, saving them time and money, and generating more photoshoots 😍 Customers find their ideal photographer faster due to The Shoot’s smart search algorithm 💬 Reviews help customers to feel more confident in their choice 🙌 Standardised listings with simple comparative pricing provide customers with clarity on the process and certainty over what to expect from their photoshoot. 💰 The Shoot takes payments upfront and in-full, meaning customers feel protected and photographers never need to chase a payment again. The Shoot would not be where it is today without the fantastic support of some fantastic people, including @kusti, @jannetherobot, @sangfu, @sjoerdhandgraaf, @thomas_malbaux, @gnomet, @gnito, @rap1ds, @yoroomie, @zacharyconn This is just the beginning of our journey. We have a huge vision for The Shoot and one day we hope to be the best photographer booking platform in the world! Would love your feedback and I’d be happy answer any questions!
