Overall Satisfaction with Picsello
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.
- 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.
- 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.
- By incorporating everything I need in a single email to my client, it saves me time. The contract, questionnaire, pricing details and payment are all sent over in one email and the automation takes over from there as the client signs everything and returns it with payment. So much time saved!
- Having all my clients saved in this platform is a space saver for my Contacts app and so easy for me to contact them on the go since Picsello is mobile-ready. I can use it's full features anywhere!
- The questionnaires are a godsend! I use to have word documents saved all over my laptop from clients but having everything in the Picsello app is way move convenient!
- The photo galleries are given a password and it's automatically entered into the email you send your clients when you share the gallery. I used to have to come up with a password and keep track of it in case a client lost it. Such a pain! This is so much easier and I literally don't even think about this anymore since Picsello does it for me!
Against Pixieset: I like Picsello better for a client experience and managing pricing and galleries. Pixieset is too complicated and cumbersome. Setting up the store is required before you can sell products on Pixieset and that's one large step more than Picsello. Against Honeybook: This is a product that's too generic and doesn't have even half the features of Picsello. It might work for freelance type work but a photographer needs way more than what is offered. It's just not made for photographers so it fails to hit the mark. Shootproof is another I tried but it's just not robust enough. There aren't enough features to help you successfully run your business, but if you'd like to add music to a photo montage, they've got you covered. That's fun to have but it's more important to earn a livable income and Picsello has them all beat with the Smart Profit Calculator!
