Bugfixes

New Feature: Custom Questionnaires

Questionnaires are a great way to prep you and your client for a shoot as they help you learn about your client's expectations, give you time to get ahead of them, and see how those may/may not fit with the details around time of the shoot, location, etc. Our addition of pre-written questionnaire templates are ready for you to use as-is, or, duplicate and modify as you see fit! Need to dig deeper with a client? You can also easily create your own questionnaire from scratch to suit your specific shoot prep needs. 

New Feature: Contacts 2.0

Clients are the core of your business and with Contacts 2.0 it's easier than ever to organize, sort, and communicate with them. Here you can see all your clients in one view, search, sort, and add new ones. You can also easily take “action” by sending an email, creating a gallery, and more! Be sure to take advantage of tags - little notes that will help you sort, organize and segment your communications for CRM.

  • View a full list of clients with their name, email, phone number, and tags
  • View details by client
  • send an email, create a lead or gallery, import jobs or archive right from the table
  • Ability to search clients by email or name

New Feature: Global Gallery Settings

Now you can set your own print product pricing and more with global gallery settings! This update gives you the ability to select gallery settings on a global level or modify them on a specific job level if you prefer. Adjustable settings include expiration dates on your galleries, watermarks for your images, digital products, as well as printed products, upselling, and pricing.

Today we launched a few major features that will improve your experience with Picsello: Greeting Cards, Standalone Galleries, and Custom Payment Schedules!

Greeting cards are available for your clients to create and order directly from their gallery! (Super fun to create and mobile friendly!)

Greeting cards are a very popular way for your clients to use their photos–don’t let them go to another card printer! We make it easy for them to design and order cards directly from their gallery. Don’t forget photo cards are for more than just holidays–you can suggest that your clients use their photos to make birth announcements, save the dates, change of address, personal Valentines, or simply because they want to send a unique card to family and friends.  Again, we make it easy for clients to order their photo cards from your gallery.
