It is so important to stay in touch with people you have met and or worked with in the industry. Two days ago, I sent out an email to over 500 people in my data base. These industry professionals were people I have either worked with, auditioned for, or met. I wished them all a Happy New Year, and asked them to keep me in mind for future projects. I also asked them to let me know if they needed me to send them head shots, comp cards, or photos as jpg’s. Basically, it was just a way to stay in touch and let them know I am still around. I got a few quick responses asking for more materials, and yesterday a photographer called me about a booking.
Even if you have been in the industry for a while, it is essential that you stay in touch. This helps to remind people that you are around and available.
