"As the photographer, getting your photos to your clients is the job. Sending your client a link to a Google Drive folder is less than ideal. Here you are, about to legitimize your business and your client's experience with a real client gallery experience like CloudSpot." - Raymond Hatfield.

When it comes to selling prints to clients, one of the most frequently asked questions we get here at CloudSpot is about pricing prints, setting markups appropriately, and why no one talks about this. While we can’t give you a one-size-fits-all answer here on the exact percentage markup to add to your prints and products, we can share some of our recommendations, questions to ask yourself, and general advice to help you choose what’s right for your business.

Raymond Hatfield, Host of The Beginner Photography Podcast, is a wedding and portrait photographer that started interviewing photographers on this podcast to hear how they got started, how they see the world, and hear those photographers share what they wish they knew when they started out.

There are a ton of features that I love as a photographer, but specifically as a brand photographer, CloudSpot has really helped me grow my business which is what I love most. In addition to having more time to do what I love, I can make more money because it is so easy for clients to pick images for me to edit. They receive a select number of files with their brand session package and many tend to purchase more files from their gallery too. More money in my pocket is always a win!

Keeping your clients engaged after they receive their final gallery of images is a hurdle every photography business faces. With CloudSpot galleries, it has never been easier to add a custom, call-to-action button within every client’s gallery experience. 🙌 Ever wonder how to gracefully ask clients for testimonial feedback… without feeling pushy or icky? Want to rebook your most loyal clients without sending multiple emails? Hope to have your clients share their images on social media and tag your business for credit too?
