Is the local market large enough to support another special occasion photography business? If not, you had better be sure that you are doing things much better than the competition.

Talk to People Who Are Already in the Business

Once you've finished assessing the competion, the next step is to talk to somebody who is already in the business. It's very unlikely that the local competition will talk to you. The last thing they want to do is help you to be a better competitor.

Thankfully, an owner of a a special occasion photography business in a different city can be a great learning resource for you, given that you don't compete with them in their area. In that case, the business owner may be more than happy to discuss the industry with you. In my experience, you may have to call ten business owners in order to find one who is willing to share his wisdom with you.
