You know these struggles
Quote requests impossible to price
"How much for a wedding?" Without the date, venue, duration or guest count, you can't answer seriously. So you ask ten questions, and the prospect tires out before the quote.
Dates held without a deposit
You hold your November Saturday for a wedding promised verbally. Two weeks out, radio silence. The date is burned, other couples went elsewhere, and nobody compensates you.
"When are the photos ready?" on repeat
After every event, the messages pile up while you're editing. Replying slows you down, not replying annoys the client: you lose both ways.
A portfolio scattered between Instagram and your phone
The prospect asks for wedding examples, you dig through your camera roll and send fifteen loose photos. Your packs, rates and terms are written down nowhere.
What Fiitsa changes for you
A complete shoot brief in one form
Formulaires WhatsApp →Shoot type, date, venue, headcount, desired style: the prospect fills it all in WhatsApp. You get a workable brief and price it in five minutes instead of running an interrogation.
The 50% deposit that locks the date
Paiements WhatsApp →The quote goes out with an Orange Money, MTN MoMo or Wave payment link. Until the deposit is paid, the date stays open. Once paid, it's locked for good, on both sides. No more burned Saturdays.
Your packs presented like a real catalogue
Gestion de produits et stock →Wedding pack, portrait pack, product pack for brands: each with its duration, number of edited photos, options and price. The prospect compares on his own, and your positioning instantly looks more professional.
Gallery delivery and follow-ups without thinking about it
Automatisation →A run-of-show reminder a week before the shoot, the gallery link at day 10 with the balance request, an anniversary message a year after the wedding with a couple-shoot offer. Everything goes out on its own, right on time.
Your customer's journey, for real
- 1
A bride-to-be in Abidjan taps the link in your Instagram bio and fills in her brief: November wedding, 250 guests, ceremony in Grand-Bassam
- 2
Your quote lands in the chat: 8 hours of coverage, 300 edited photos, private gallery, 350,000 FCFA
- 3
She locks the date by paying the 175,000 FCFA deposit via Orange Money; the Saturday is secured on both sides
- 4
A week ahead, she receives the day's run-of-show and confirms the venue scouting time
- 5
At day 10, the private gallery link arrives with the balance request, settled in the same chat
- 6
A year later, the anniversary message goes out on its own, with a couple-shoot offer; word of mouth does the rest
Frequently asked questions
How do I ask for a deposit without making the client uncomfortable?
By making it standard. When the deposit is part of the quote, with the payment link built in, it's no longer a personal ask: it's how you work. Serious clients pay without arguing, and the ones who refuse would have stood you up anyway.
What delivery time should I promise for photos?
One you can actually keep: 7, 10 or 14 days depending on your editing volume. What matters is that it's written in the quote and automatically restated to the client. A stated, kept deadline beats a repeated "soon". And meanwhile, nobody hounds you.
Can I sell prints and albums on top of shoots?
Yes. Add them as separate products: 30x30 album, large-format print, engraved USB drive. After gallery delivery, an album offer goes out automatically: the perfect moment, since the client has just relived the photos.
Can a couple pay for a wedding in instalments?
Yes. The classic split: 50% to lock the date, the balance on gallery delivery. You can also split into three for big jobs. Each instalment has its reminder and Mobile Money link, so you never have to ask yourself.
Does it work for corporate product shoots too?
Very well, actually. Brands and restaurants ordering product photos love tight processes: structured brief, written quote, deposit, dated delivery. It's often what moves you from "neighbourhood photographer" to regular vendor.
Does Fiitsa take a percentage of my bookings?
No. 0% commission, including on a 350,000 FCFA wedding or a corporate event coverage. You pay a subscription, and every franc collected stays with you.
