Pros: How to Sell Cards to your clients

***Andy*** · Nov-19-2007, 09:49 AM

Our holiday cards are available for creation and purchase, only by you - as a logged-in SmugMugger. Sure, we'd love to have the ability to have your customers configure, make and buy - but we don't have that yet.

For now, you can do lots of things to assist your customers :)
Holiday Cards:
Here's one way that I came up with.

How to?

1. Make a new gallery.
2. Put this in the gallery description:

Mixed 4x8 and 5x7 Holiday Card sample gallery code:

PHP Code:


		
			
<html>
<object align="middle" height="600" width="600">
<param name="movie" value="http://www.smugmug.com/ria/ShizamSlides-2007090601.swf">
<param name="flashvars" value="feedURL=http://api.smugmug.com/hack/feed.mg?Type=userkeyword%2526NickName=cards%2526Data=christmas&transparent=true&crossFadeSpeed=500&clickUrl=http://www#46;smugmug#46;com">
<param name="wmode" value="transparent">
<param name="bgcolor" value="000000">
<param name="allowNetworking" value="all">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always">
<embed src="http://www.smugmug.com/ria/ShizamSlides-2007090601.swf" flashvars="feedURL=http://api.smugmug.com/hack/feed.mg?Type=userkeyword%2526NickName=cards%2526Data=christmas&transparent=true&crossFadeSpeed=500&clickUrl=http://www#46;smugmug#46;com" wmode="transparent" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowScriptAccess="always" allowNetworking="all" height="600" width="600"></embed></object>
</html>

5x7 Card sample gallery code:

PHP Code:


		
			
<html><div align="center" ><object height="600" width="800">
<param name="movie" value="http://www.smugmug.com/ria/ShizamSlides-2007090601.swf?AlbumID=6567422&transparent=true&showThumbs=trie&showButtons=true&crossFadeSpeed=500">
<param name="wmode" value="transparent">
<param name="bgcolor" value="000000">
<param name="allowNetworking" value="all">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always">
<embed src="http://www.smugmug.com/ria/ShizamSlides-2007090601.swf?AlbumID= 6567422&transparent=true&showThumbs=true&showLogo=false&showButtons=true&crossFadeSpeed=500" wmode="transparent" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowScriptAccess="always" allowNetworking="all" height="600" width="800"></object>

</div>
 
</html>

4x8 Holiday Card Sample Code:

PHP Code:


		
			
<html><div align="center" ><object height="600" width="800">
<param name="movie" value="http://www.smugmug.com/ria/ShizamSlides-2007090601.swf?AlbumID=6549233&transparent=true&showThumbs=trie&showButtons=true&crossFadeSpeed=500">
<param name="wmode" value="transparent">
<param name="bgcolor" value="000000">
<param name="allowNetworking" value="all">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always">
<embed src="http://www.smugmug.com/ria/ShizamSlides-2007090601.swf?AlbumID= 6549233&transparent=true&showThumbs=true&showLogo=false&showButtons=true&crossFadeSpeed=500" wmode="transparent" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowScriptAccess="always" allowNetworking="all" height="600" width="800"></object>

</div>
 
</html>

To really make
it personal - use your OWN images, making up all the sample cards on your own :) But do feel free to use our sample gallery, it's no problem at all :)

Then, add your your own text, telling customers how they can choose, how you'll post it, and email them the link, and they can just buy it from your site :)

You'll want to add this to your CSS, as well:

.nophotos {display: none;}
.loggedIn .nophotos {display: block;}

Happy Carding!

EDIT: You don't need google checkout now

And, 5x7s example

The code to copy - ignore that it says "php" here :)

PHP Code:


		
			
<html>

<div align="center" >

<object height="600" width="800">

<param name="movie" value="http://www.smugmug.com/ria/ShizamSlides-2007090601.swf?AlbumID=6567422&transparent=true&showThumbs=trie&showButtons=true&crossFadeSpeed=500">

<param name="wmode" value="transparent">

<param name="bgcolor" value="000000">

<param name="allowNetworking" value="all">

<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always">

<embed src="http://www.smugmug.com/ria/ShizamSlides-2007090601.swf?AlbumID= 6567422&transparent=true&showThumbs=true&showLogo=false&showButtons=true&crossFadeSpeed=500" wmode="transparent" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowScriptAccess="always" allowNetworking="all" height="600" width="800"></object></div>

Great looking cards!! Thanks to all who made this possible!!!!

Placeholder · Nov-18-2008, 01:05 PM

Am I missing something, what if I just want my borderless image to be the face of the card, with no graphics?

Then you'll use the "Custom" card option :) It's currently erem, broken, but we'll fix it hopefully tonight

Then you can do this:

proper product shot coming soon

Placeholder · Nov-18-2008, 01:27 PM

that's the stuff

thenimirra · Nov-18-2008, 05:48 PM

Very nicely done Andy! I love your examples of how you did this on your page. Can you show us the code so we can do the same on our pages?

Ooops sorry..didn't read far enough by that Nyquil pulled me under. You already included the code! Thanks man!

I came here to ask the same question! I had tried the custom option but, well you know, it's broken.

If I can design my own front, inside and back with the custom option, I will be extremely happy!

ericmweaver · Nov-18-2008, 06:51 PM

I feel like such an idiot when it comes to stuff like this! It should be as simple as copy and pasting the code into the gallery description & css, but I did that and.... nothing =( -sniff, sniff- I think I'm gonna cry LOL

Please tell me what I'm doing wrong.

Thanks in advance,

P.S. Oh yeah... it's in HOLIDAY CARDS!!! http://wephoto.smugmug.com/gallery/6593840_Vjnzb
