Development Priorities

smilenj

Wondering if we can get an update on some items that I think are just crucial for wedding and portrait pro's. I know development takes time but I also know that I these things would really help me increase sales, have been requested for at least 18 months and are readily available on other services. These include (with the date they were requested on the suggestion forum):

• Expiration Dates on Galleries with reminders to clients that the date is approaching - Jan 2010
• Allowing clients to pick favorites without setting up an event - Oct 2010
• Exporting price lists - Feb 2010
• Allowing guests Pre registration for events - Aug 2010

SM is absolutely the best way to display photos but without these items it doesn't work in a modern wedding workflow (i.e. work with couple to have guests pre-register, send couple the photos for approval and to send out to guests, allow people to pick favorites for albums, prints or any other category, process the orders, and then remind them in a few months that the gallery is expiring).

Thanks in advance for your feedback.

Here's to hoping that we can awesomize the SM wedding and portrait workflow and have us all be more successful.

Those sound cool with variations on the first one most important to start driving print sales.

I COULDN'T AGREE MORE! I hope smug mug can make these things happen soon. I am always on the verge of switching to other companies at times when I get frustrated that I cannot do some of these things. The first one is by FAR the most important and other online gallery hosting companies offer this type of service which is crucial to portrait photographers. The second bullet point would also be great. And the last two also, would be fabulous. But, yes yes yes, please Smug Mug, I beg of you...GALLERY EXPIRATION & EMAIL REMINDERS would be heaven and these tools are soooooo important to portrait photographers business! Is this up for a vote somewhere? If anyone knows, let me know. Thanks!
