I wish I'd had Picsello when I first started my business in 2004!
Rating: 10 out of 10
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
I started using Picsello a few months ago and quickly fell in love! I started my business in 2004 and if this had been available to me then, my business would have been a lot more successful a lot quicker. The photo galleries come with access to an amazing printer so your clients can order directly from there and the profit goes straight to you. The best feature I think is the Smart Profit Calculator! You enter in all the info about your business: how many hours you want to work, how much you'd like to make that year, etc... All of your photography expenses are already included and you can customize your details so you'll see exactly what to do to earn at maximum potential. I think the only thing it won't do is take the photos for you.
Pros
- Smart Profit Calculator helps you make money from your business!
- Photo Galleries are already linked to a world class printer so your clients can start ordering right away.
- Control over pricing allows you to set the profit you earn from print and product sales.
- An embed lead form is available so you can get new clients directly from your website started as a lead in Picsello.
Cons
- People like flexibility and being able to work with previously established vendors that are different from the print vendor currently available in Picsello. I know additional partnerships are forthcoming and once they do I think this product will only increase in popularity.
- One feature that would be helpful is to be able to block off time in the calendar so potential clients can view your availability.
- I'd like to be able to enter multiple contacts under a single client. If you have a large group and you have their email addresses you could send the gallery to more than one person but from the same job.
Likelihood to Recommend
Picsello helps you stay on task. I have struggled with being too nice to clients in regards to when they pay for my services but Picsello fixed that. A payment schedule is included in the proposal process so when you send the email to your client, they'll get their contract, questionnaire, pricing details and a request for payment to secure booking. That's one less item on my to-do list and I can move forward with my workflow.
