Why “Before” and “After” Marketing Doesn’t Sell Transformational Personal Styling
There’s a moment in every styling business where you start wondering if you’d make more sales by posting before-and-after photos. Maybe you’ve tried it already, or maybe you’ve avoided it because it feels uncomfortable to put clients out there. Either way, those photos don’t usually tell the full story.
A picture can show clothes and a result, but it can’t show the shift that happened in the middle. When that part is missing—how the client felt, what changed, what became possible afterward—people don’t connect to it. They might like it, but they don’t see themselves in it.
In this episode of The Six Figure Personal Stylist Podcast, I’m talking about what’s changed in the styling industry, why before-and-afters don’t land the way they used to, and why people feel so skeptical when they scroll past them. We get into how to talk about results in a way that feels respectful to your clients and actually helps your audience see themselves in the transformation.
