Site Updates

Selling prints and photographic gift items with our online system is easy, but proper marketing will make a huge difference to your bottom line. We would like to share some tips to help make your gallery sales soar.

Photostockplus.com provides you with dozens of customizable galleries to upload and showcase your photos with. Buyers can choose from over 30 print sizes and a variety of print finishes that are produced at our award winning lab. With over 30 years of experience, our qualified staff consistently deliver the best possible prints to your clients. Our diverse line of Photo-gift items are produced in the same lab, with the same quality technicians.

The following are a list of services available to our pro members. Applying these marketing tips to your online sales strategy is a sure way to increase your online sales and increase customer satisfaction.

Packages
A simple and effective way of offering a special is to group items together in a package. By making it easy and economical for clients to order, you can quickly increase your average sale dollar amount, while providing value to your clients. Packages can be created in the price group. You set one markup to a group of products to be a associated with a photo, so in effect, you can offer a discount here as well. The package is associated to the price group and can be showcased in a variety of ways in your gallery by adding text to the site, or showcasing it as a featured product.

Coupons
You can create coupons with specific dollar amounts in the marketing section when logged in. You can use them as promotional hand outs, or sell them onsite, depending on your strategy. When a client uses the coupon for a purchase, you are requested to pay the coupon. Since you don’t have to pre pay for coupons, you can always have a stack with you that you can sell. Most photographers will offer a discount on the price of the coupon. So you can sell a $50.00 coupon for $40.00. Others will make a $3.00 coupon and give them away knowing that the lowest priced item on their site is $10.00. This is a fail safe way to encourage sales.

Volume Discount
Setting a volume discount on your gallery is an easy and effective at drumming up sales. Simply visit the “Pricing” page, were you can choose the amount of discount you want to offer and the dollar amount they need to spend for it to be applicable. For example, 20% off on all orders over $50.00. This is completely controlled by you and you can enter any value you like, as long as it is not below your cost ;-). When a volume discount is set, we automatically promote the discount with red lettering in your gallery so clients are enticed to spend more to receive a discount. Note that volume discounts can only be set on custom price groups.

Product quantity discount (new feature)
If you would like to set a discount by product, you can now do so by visiting the “Pricing” section and the sub section “discount rules”. Here you can select a price group and then an individual item like “4X6 prints” or any other product. You can then set a quantity discount for that item. For example you can have a price for 5 to 10 prints as well as one for 11 to 20 prints and so on. You can then advertise 5 to10 prints are $15.00 and 11 to 20 are $10.00 each. You can go on and on or do basic volume discounts.

By setting discounts and volume intervals you can encourage larger orders. Clients can order different prints in this same special, as long as they are from the same price group. You can simplify it to be 10 or more instead of creating lots of groups. The freedom is all yours, in fact, you can even display the discounts by $ amount or by % amount.

Featured products
When clients view photos in their large format in your gallery, we feature products from your price group above the photos. You can now control which products you want to showcase here. Often clients will use this area to showcase packages or specialty items that appeal to their specific clients. Simply visit the “Pricing” section and then “Featured Products” to select your featured products.

Suggested item in cart
Adding a suggested item in the cart is an extra chance to market a product to interested buyers. You can feature a maximum of three items here. Many clients prefer to just feature one as it is repeated on each print in the cart as a suggested item. Try to make it something different, like a custom poster, or a mug. Something out of the ordinary that can peak your clients senses ?. You can select suggested items when creating a price group in the “Pricing” section, under “Featured Products”. It is just below the featured product list on the same page.

Banners, flash, HTML or text promotion
All of these items can be added to your home page and to your event galleries. We have pre created banners you can add, as well as marketing text to consider in the marketing tips page. Adding visuals that showcase special products, like Custom Action Posters or Museum Mount Gallery Wraps makes a big difference to the sales of those big ticket items. You can create your own graphics or flash that is quickly added when creating the event. Don’t miss out on the amazing promotional method. If you need help creating graphics, let us know. Our in house design team can work with you to create an array of stunning promotional graphics to add to your site.

Time limit specials
Creating a sense of urgency is a great way to push sales. Many people are prone to putting off their purchase if they think there is no rush. Expiring events and taking them down is one way of doing this. Another very effective way to do this, is to offer an early bird special. Simply lower your prices for the first 5 days the event is online. Let everyone know. You can put text on the site explaining the details. You can alternate price groups in an event in seconds by having several pre made custom price groups to change in and out. Offering an early bird 20% discount will have your clients pulling out their credit cards faster that you can say “SOLD”. Take advantage… make an early bird special and watch the sales roll in. ?

We hope this email has been informative and you will put some of these practices to good use. If you need a little more help or encouragement… please feel free to contact your Photostockplus.com marketing representative or call in and have a rep assigned to you to help grow your business. Sales are on fire now and there is no better time to capitalize. Every dollar counts and being creative can save your clients money, increase your sales and promote customer satisfaction. So what are you waiting for? Pick up the phone or login and get those specials rolling.

Uploading and selling stock with the photostockplus.com complete online sales solution is an easy way to turn a profit from your images.
We have buyers interested in a variety of styles, qualities and subject matter. With photostockplus.com you have the freedom to decide what photos to sell and how much to charge for them. We promote your work to our buyers and bring you sales while leaving you in control of what to sell and for how much.

5 essential tips to selling more stock

1. Quantity is almost as important as quality.

People buying images have very unique needs. Images are needed for an incredible array of scenarios. Marketing companies, agencies, small businesses, schools and education providers all need images for books, websites, brochures, magazines and internet use.

Images are needed for almost every subject or scenario imaginable. Simply put… the more photos you upload and put for sale, the better your chances of selling become. In order to gain exposure you need to produce content. This doesn’t mean upload hundreds of pictures of the same thing will make you successful. Quite the opposite can be true. Stager your content and get creative, but remember the more images you have for sale… the more money you will make.

2. Adding titles, categories, descriptions and keyword data to your images is the key to gaining extra visibility in the global search database.

Buyers find what they are looking for by typing in search terms or by searching categories from our online search engine. All images are ranked and reviewed by an editor, but at least 50% of the relevance is determined by an analysis of your title, category, description and keywords. Our up loader tools read embedded keywords if you have already added keyword data to your jpg files. Alternately, you can always add keywords individually to your images while editing online.

3. File size matters

Always upload the highest resolution file you have. It is true that for internet use and presentations the file size will be of little importance. Smaller files can and do get sold every day, but when files are used for print, size does matter. If you are selling stock you must upload the largest file you have on hand. Do not compress images to save space as you will not be given the opportunity to upload a larger file. The clients download the images that are on the server immediately after purchase. Clients do have access to the file size before purchasing and sometimes the size of the file will effect their buying decisions.

4. Model release / Property release

If you are shooting public buildings, monuments or people, model releases can be quite important. It is true that model and property releases will not be necessary for editorial use but when it comes to marketing or business uses the release is necessary. Buyers will verify if you have indicated that you have a release on file. Don’t forget to get a release.

5. Assignments

Submitting your content quickly can be a big advantage, especially with new assignments with tight deadlines. Keep a look out for new assignments and get your content in. Assignments can be an easy way to make money from images you already have. Some buyers prefer to have work submitted to them rather than looking for what they need, so submitting becomes critical in winning these contracts.

• Product selector “more info” button
• 4X8 Greeting cards
• Magazine covers
• Client customizable inspirational posters
• Client customizable trader cards
• Photo buttons
• Cutouts / statuettes
• Magnetic cutout
• Improved pro lab packaging

We are pleased to announce that we have successfully integrated the following products and tweaks to our service.

• Composite memory mates
• Canvas prints
• 11X8 Photo book
• Bag tags
• Key chains
• Enhanced product drop down menu
• Locked album preview image
• Less required fields when creating event folders

Our new 8X10 composite memory mate offers your clients an
opportunity to create multi-image memory mates for sports and other special events that allow for a group photo as well as an individual photo to be added to graphically designed templates that are sport or event specific. Templates and text fields are all handled by the client with a few easy to follow steps.

Canvas prints are offered from 8X10 to 20X30 sizes. We have five different bag tags ranging in shape and sizes, five different key chain options, a long awaited 11X8 photo book with cover material options, color options and customizable text (20 to 78 photos). To see photos and descriptions of all the new products please visit our general product page at:
http://www.photostockplus.com/products.php

We have added all the listed products to the pre selected
price groups with our recommended mark-ups, so if you are using our preset pricing groups you may want to go and look at the pricing structure and adjust if you feel necessary. As always you are able to remove items with the use of custom groups by simply modifying a group and re-saving it with your custom group name that can be applied to your albums. For the sake of effective marketing we added only one of the bag tags and one of the key chains so as not to clutter your client’s product drop down menus. If you are using custom groups now you will need to go and activate these products and re-save groups in order for the products to be available to your clients.

Another nice addition in this update has been a modified look to the products listed in our drop down menus. We have added spaces and dots leading to the pricing to make the products even easier to read and find.

We have added some small tweaks like allowing you the option to display a folder image on locked albums and we have removed some of the previously required fields when creating events.

Below you will find the things on our short list that will be going live in the coming weeks. We have many more great things planned and welcome your feedback and ideas. As always we are committed to improve and provide you with the best service possible. Don’t be shy to tell us what’s on your mind.

• 8X10 calendars with embedded photos with a variety of themes.
• Magazine covers where you can embed photos
• Added layouts and background options to photo books
• B/W and Sepia previews
• Custom cropping
• Custom borders
• Trader cards
• Buttons
• Cut outs / Statuettes

We are excited to announce that we have decided to adjust the minimum price you can set for your stock photos. Rather than the previous $10.00 minimum you may now set your images at a minimum of $1.00, the maximum remains $999.00. Our users have made many requests for this change and we have decided to allow our users maximum control by eliminating this restriction.

As always we encourage you to set your prices at whatever level suits you. There are quality buyers on both spectrums of the market.

If you are going to look at reducing prices to lower price points now would be the time to do it as we will be releasing an invitation to our buyers in a few weeks to come and have a look. We have also added a search by price field that will also be updated with an option for searching images below certain dollar amounts making things even more interesting for our buyers.

We look forward to hearing your thoughts, feedback and future suggestions.

In an effort to provide the most complete and competitive service, we are pleased to announce that we have added True black and white as well as Metallic prints to our product line.

Our true black and white prints are printed with Durst Theta silver halide printers on Ilford professional Black and white paper that produces outstanding continuous tone black and white prints.

Kodak Metallic paper uses a proprietary combination of film laminate layers that produce striking, three-dimensional, lasting images on an ultra-bright background. Many photographers have described this effect as “chrome on paper.” Its professional emulsion set provides extreme sharpness, brightness, and color saturation with an intense black density that increases its appeal. The laminate layers also increase the durability and tear resistance of the final print, increasing the opportunities for display applications.

Both products come with a complete set of standard and none standard sizes that can be viewed from the products lists. We have not added the products to any of our preset pricing groups, in order to activate True Black and White prints or Metallic prints you will need to add them to one of your custom groups or save a new custom group.

We hope you will be pleased with the new products. Both are being shipped from our pro lab exclusively so they will include live person image correction on all prints as well as custom card board backed and shrink-wrap packaging.

In the coming weeks we will be adding an assortment of photo books as well as a variety of gift products such as buttons, key tags, bag tags and other sports products.

We also have a nice variety of additional features and new marketing features that will be rolled out over the next month or so.

As usual we urge you not to hesitative to contact us with your ideas or suggestions and don’t be surprised if they are included in our next update.

PhotoStockPlus.com is pleased to announce the live release of our new “Digital Download” option. Now Pro members can take advantage of this powerful new feature which is now available.

Please note that the Digital Download is treated just like any product within our system and costs only $1.99 per downloaded file. You will have the ability to set your mark-up to the download in the same way you do with all of your current products. Once the purchase has been completed clients purchasing digital files will receive an e-mail allowing them to download the high-resolution image.

In-order to activate your digital download option, you will need to visit your pricing page and activate the “Digital Download Product” under the preset price groups or within one of your custom pricing groups. You will of course have the ability to customize your mark-up .

Please note that the “event image download feature” differs from our stock option and carries no image rights, the images are purchased for personal use only. Clients will need to accept the complete Terms and Conditions prior to purchasing the image. To view the complete copy of the Terms and Conditions please go to the following link: http://www.photostockplus.com/contracts/

Please note that the Digital Download feature can only be utilized within event folders and will not work within Stock Albums and the opposite is true with the Stock Image download. If you are looking to market your stock images, they must be done so within Stock Albums and Event images should be marketed within Event Albums.

We are confident that by enabling this feature, you will reap the rewards and benefits of increased revenues. We look forward to seeing your sales increase with this new feature. As always we appreciate any and all feedback you can provide.

Dear Members,

We are excited to announce that we have added a new high-end printing service to photostockplus.com. You can now choose between our regular economy lab and our new pro-lab service. You may select your lab in the pricing page when creating price groups and apply them on a per event basis. Read below to see details regarding both of these options.

Pro Lab
Our pro lab has over 30 years of experience in photographic printing.
All prints are produced on Fuji Crystal archive paper with state of the art Fuji Frontier and Durst Theta printers. Machines are calibrated and checked each 24hr cycle to ensure color consistency and quality. Images are also individually corrected for color and density by a human operator.

Special care is taken with all packaging. Prints are re-inspected, and then sleeved in glassine. A sturdy cardboard backing is inserted with the prints into water proof bags to ensure they will arrive to your clients in the same condition they left the lab.

Besides the regular gloss and matte finishes, Pro lab prints are also available in Pro Lustre finish. You will also notice that the Pro lab offers a number of new sizes, including many square sizes. New print sizes available at the Pro lab include:
