 ‘Tis the Season of Giving… so why not make the most of it and offer your clients some great gift ideas?Over the course of a year, we hear photographers ask the same question over and over again: “How can I boost my income?” Well, one important factor to consider is timing. And there’s no better time than over the glorious holiday season! One of the easiest ways for a photographer to boost their income requires almost no effort at all! By connecting the Print Store to your galleries, clients have the option to go in and purchase products directly, using the images from the gallery. This is ideal if you are typically a digitals only type of photographer, or if you’ve already sold the client on prints. for example (once their purchase of prints has been made, you have the option of switching from the traditional store to the print store where they can purchase things like photo mugs, blankets and pillowcases for example!) You get 20% of the sales made from the print store… and considerin

Online booking

Who does everyone use for this? It seems most systems include everything (invoices/contracts/online booking)… but galleries. Or some include both. Will shootproof ever have a booking and questionnaire option???? I hate to move everything over to a new system or have 2.

Questionnaire

Aloha!Is there any intention on creating a Questionnaire option that can be linked to the contract? I tried Honeybook out a few years ago and switched to ShootProof because it’s user friendly (this sentiment has been echoed by many of my friends). However, that’s one area where I see that Honeybook has a leg up. Being able to send questionnaires would be a huge help. I searched through the community posts and saw an answer to this question from 2 years ago, but the resolution given no longer seems to work.
