Smugmug Markup on BayPhoto Pricing???

brittie62

I'm still in my "trial" period but so far, I'm happy with what I see. Still trying to work out a few wrinkles.

I currently use BayPhoto for my prints and have built my pricing models around their costs (Economy, since I do my own color correction).
As I started to input my costs into SmugMug, I noticed that the SmugMug default doesn't match the BayPhoto pricing. Is there a consistent markup across the board or does this vary by product?.

I really want to present my clients with a consistent pricing regardless of whether they order directly from me or online. Any a help would be appreciated as I need to modify my own pricing models (and spreadsheets -ugh!)

Thanks!

We try hard to match exactly - please write our Support Heroes ATTN: Andy with any discrepancies, thanks!

Some products have extra options that are automatically added through SM, so perhaps you're not looking at the same exact product between the two. I'd thought I was seeing a pretty hefty markup on metal prints, but when I realized I also had to add rounded corners, the back mount, etc. into ROES, the prices ended up being about the same.

Michael - Great point! I hadn't thought about the additional options. I did a big "gulp" when I looked at the metal prints prices.

Andy - Once I update my spreadsheets, I'll contact the Heros if I find anything out of balance (taking into consideration Michael's note).

Appreciate the help!
