Heatwave? No Problem: Make Money Without Breaking a Sweat

We know Instaproofs is your ultimate path to Pajama Profits —who doesn’t want to be making money while they sleep?!

Well, this summer, as the temperatures soar, instead of (rather, in addition to) Pajama Profits, it’s time for Bathing Suit Profits: making money while you’re keeping cool!

5 Easy Ways Instaproofs Can Help Put $$$ In Your Pocket This Summer

Run a Sale
Your clients need a reminder of their incredible galleries: run a sale with one of Instaproofs’ incredible sale options and knock their socks off. You could run a store-wide sale, select a few specific print sizes (50% off all 8x10 and 11x14 prints, for instance), or make it a sale on just your digital downloads. It’s entirely up to you!
Shoppers LOVE a deal. Give ‘em what they want!
Session Gift Cards
Have you set up Session Gift Cards yet? If you’re a Pro + level user, take a few minutes to fill in the details, and then send out an email to your previous customers to let them know what’s available.
Folks are always looking for a good gift: for back-to-school teacher gifts, birthdays and anniversaries, and just-because. Let your biggest fans give the gift of YOUR work!
Add New Purchase Options
How long has it been since you last freshened up your print shop? So many great options, from framed prints to bamboo panels to canvases to metal prints—not to mention individual image downloads— are all just a few clicks away. A few clicks on your computer can open up a world of options for your customers.
Fifteen minutes of easy work on your end could lead to hundreds, or even thousands, of dollars in additional sales. What are you waiting for?!
Enable Your Abandoned Cart Reminder
Capture every sale. Some folks may forget about the cart they loaded up and forgot to actually purchase, but Instaproofs doesn’t! With just a click of your mouse, you can make sure none of your customers forget about their abandoned carts… which will lead to more sales for you!
Schedule Future Mini Sessions
For Pro + level users, our Booking services provide an incredible set of tools that allows for completely automated Mini Session Bookings. Post every detail, include optional contracts and questionnaires, gather contact information, accept payments, and allow your clients to select their time slots, which will automatically mark the spots as “booked” upon payment.
Now is a great time to get on folks’ fall calendars. Start by creating a Session Type (you’ll want to create it as a “multi” session) and then set up a Session. Once that’s finished, you’ll be ready to roll! Prefer a video walk-through showing how this works? Here you go!
As an aside, the same feature can be used for Workshop sign-ups, group headshot bookings, and more. The sky is the limit!
