In this day and age, it's imperative for every business to harness the power of social media to attract new customers and enhance their presence in the market. However, the task of managing social media can often be overwhelming and incredibly time-consuming.

Welcome back to a new episode of the "In the Loup" podcast, where Tery Joshi Images Photography is being interviewed about how using your own images or stock images can affect your business. In the episode, Tery Joshi discusses the importance of having branding photography for your business.

Using images that represent your brand can make a significant difference in the way your business is perceived by potential customers. Tery explains that branding photography can help capture the personality behind your company and showcase your products or services in a way that stock images simply can't.

When you use your own images, you have more control over the message you want to convey to your customers. You can show off your unique selling points and highlight what sets your business apart from your competitors. This can help create a stronger connection with your target audience and build brand loyalty.

On the other hand, using stock images can make your business appear generic and impersonal. It can also be challenging to find images that accurately represent your brand and fit seamlessly into your marketing materials.

Overall, the episode emphasizes the importance of investing in branding photography for your business. By doing so, you can effectively convey your brand's personality and create a visual identity that sets you apart from the competition.

Our team consists of protection and mortgage advisers who offer tailored solutions for business and personal insurance, employee benefits, private healthcare, and mortgages. We came up with the idea of starting this company after a few beers in a pub in 2016. However, it took a couple of more years and many more nights out to get things started.

We have worked together for several years and share a common vision of what is important in life and in business. We have witnessed poor practices, and we knew that wasn't for us.

Naming our company was a difficult task, and we struggled to settle on a name. After brainstorming and firing plastic arrows at a whiteboard, we finally decided on Covertree. 

We kept the name for a couple of years, but felt it was time for a change. It was MUCH easier this time, and we came up with the name Feel Financial.
