Would you like to build a photography website?

3# Enhance your customers’ experience with private galleries

The direct contact with the client is being lost more and more and it is becoming less and less frequent that after a photo session your clients want to come back to the studio to see their images. In this rushed world, clients appreciate that photographers have a private area on their photography websites where they can: view, download, select and buy the most interesting photos from their photo shoots.

And the truth is that the more facilities you can offer your customers, the more satisfied they will be and the more purchases they will make. And we all know that a happy customer is the best advertisement you can invest in. Photographer Ernst Prieto knows this very well and here is his testimony.

4# Sell your photos anytime in the public galleries

When it comes to consolidating your photography business it is important that you look for multiple ways of doing business and if these ways of obtaining income are through automatic sales where you will hardly have to deal with clients, all the better. Thanks to public galleries you will be able to offer for sale a series of photos and videos so that interested parties can buy them at any time without having to contact you to carry out the operation.

Having an online shop integrated into your own photography website that is easy to use and has the same aesthetics as the rest of your website will increase the passive income of your business.

And if not, just ask Enrique Medrano, from Tonos Fotógrafos, who is already on his 5th website created with Arcadina and if one thing is clear to him is that his online shops help him to get a fixed income every month. Here are his recommendations.

5# Save time thanks to the booking calendar

Another of the features that a website must have is the option for clients to book a photo shoot by choosing a day and time and paying for part of the session. This work tool, besides being very popular among clients, will allow you to save countless hours on the phone or answering emails to balance your appointment schedule.

This Booking service is perfect for photographers who are starting to consolidate their business and need to delegate part of the daily tasks.

This time we are going to share with you another video interview with photographer Antonio Siles who talks about the benefits of implementing a booking calendar on your photography website.

6# Build customer loyalty with WhatsApp chat on your website

At a time when customers want to resolve their doubts instantly and when they don’t have time to wait for an email to arrive, being able to have a chat on all the pages of your website through which your visitors can ask you any type of question in real time will be a great idea.

In addition, with the WhatsApp Business service you will also be able to maintain direct communication through the management panel with your customers to keep them informed about the status of their orders.

Another interview we would like to share with you is with photographer Rebeca Canalda.
