The idea of placing the photographer's branding on the shipping and billing material (along with SM's, rather than just SM's). Not just the name mentioned in the text, but the photographer's actual brand/logo.
This would be handy on the outside of the shipping package, for instance, where the photographer's marque will serve both as brand reinforcement AND as a way of identifying the contents of the package.
something like this is in the works and we hope to have it live one day - I can't say when.

I've signed up for email, but haven't seen a single thing on this. Can you please fill me in?
Andy, I think you have my email address.
When we have an announcement you'll see it in email, Tom And don't forget, to be sure you check your mail prefs on news (control panel, news tab, news link) and also subscribe to release notes blog RSS feed - you'll never ever miss a beat then
Just got a profit check from SmugMug today with a little note in it. I assume SmugMug Pro will have a lot more features than this, but it gives us a preview of one to come. The suspense is killing me here!
Too bad we had to wait to hear it from a pro who got a profit check vs. an official announcement though?
We've talked about it before on Dgrin - and the paper notice to pros was just another way of getting folks ready. More from the Countess of Cash and Sorcery when we're closer!
Sorry. I dont' think it has anything to do with the pro branding.
PM 4.6 added a few more uploaders and smuggy was one of them.
from the release notes
Photo Mechanic 4.6 includes several new Upload templates such as Secure FTP, Amazon S3, ExposureManager, Flickr, Gallery 2, SmugMug, and Zenfolio. If you are a Ruby programmer, you can create your own Upload plug-in.

It's just occurred to me, I have been so caught up in not having local currency payment options for my customers, I never asked if the electronic payment of pro profits would apply to non-US based photographers as well? Or are we going to be left with cheques?
SMUGs
Is there a full schedule for upcoming SMUGs? I doubt you're coming to my sleepy little New England town, but I'm hoping for maybe Boston.
This is getting exciting. You guys and gals at SmugMug should be psyched with the amount of buzz you've been generating in podcasts, Twitter, etc. Nice work... you definitely have the Smugmug name out there a lot more than I've ever heard it before, and all in good light too. The HD Video is getting great buzz and landing some higher profile clients (who are talking about it too).
Congrats. I'm very pleased to be going along for this ride. Can't wait to see what's on deck.
I agree today lots of people know SmugMug than before and people really want to join in. On the other hand as people are flooding into digital photography people really need something like SmugMug great looks of their portfolio awesome customer support. These looks things works wonders when you want to impress your client.
I received a call guy asked me a lot about smugmug and he was convinced that his photos are looking awesome uploaded to SmugMug. Trends are hot in Pakistan and SmugMug is popular than in 2004-05 as photography has become extremely popular hobby of individuals. So keep it up guys.

Is there going to be a difference between the current Pro account we have here vs the one that I'm seeing with David Jay: www.SmugMugPro.com? Can any elaborate what is going on....I'm sure announcements were made at WHCC, but some of us unfortunate souls were not able to attend. Thank you!!!!
It's been around 7 months and SmugmugPro is still dormant. I was excited that it would be ready (whatever it is) when the summer arrived (in time for wedding season), but it never happened.
Can someone from SM give us an update? I would be happy with something as vague as this year or next year.

Well, let's see: A new pro lab was added (Bay Photo); upped video to 10minutes of full 1080p on Pro accounts; Added Easy Customizer; Launched SMUGs - SmugMug User Groups - in 20 cities; new sharing features, and new styles; and massively increased your SEO with our last release, NiceNames.
We know you want coupons and packages - and for many of you, that 'defines' SmugMug Pro. Both are continuing in development, with coupons coming first, I hope & expect.

Oh yeah Andy, there's no doubt you guys have been busy. And we all truly appreciate your efforts, but all of the things you mention are part of the current SmugMug offering. Not SmugmugPro, right? Or are they the same thing? I guess I thought SmugMug Pro was something different. Or am I wrong? To me, it appears that SM Pro is supposed to be this next level product for Pros. Or is it a marketing thing to pump up new Pro features for new and existing Pro subscribers? Now I'm confused.

Bay Photo is strictly for Pros. SMUGs was asked for by our pros and we allow any and all to attend. Less branding was asked for by pros, pro only. Better SEO, demanded for by pros, not pro only but surely driven by our pros.
Coupons and Packages: of course, pro-only.
SmugMug Pro is evolving. We'll have more to say when we have two key features that you all are demanding, coupons and packages, out. Stay tuned and thanks.

The new and upcoming pro features are great. But the "SmugMugPro" marketing campaign is a flop. You guys made it sound like it was SOMETHING. We signed up for the newsletter or whatever, and nothing came. Then you quietly mentioned on here that parts of the big unveiling were unveiled before SmugMugPro was even "announced." We expected a big bang, but we got what we've come to expect... contstant small upgrades that keep making smugmug better and better.
No complaints about where smugmug is going, but the marketing department needs some work.

I've been with Smugmug going on 5 years and have nothing but good things to say about the service that you provide.
That said, I wish you guys would quit announcing improvements and new services and then take months and months to finally deliver them.

Hehe, be careful. There's not much left there to be thanking me for.
I mean that wholly as a joke; I'm in good spirits with the 'new' information.
