Re: Pro Account increase
I'm gonna play devils advocate here and say that SM are absolutely right to preserve their e-commerce features for the higher plans only. I define these features as watermarking, sales for profit and all the other things like events, packages etc. What's clearly missing is an account between Power and Portfolio. I think… -
Re: Pro Account increase
I haven't read all of this but I read plenty on my email and on the blog. So disappointed. I'm a creature of habit and I'm not happy about having to go elsewhere. I don't think I've even sold $50 worth of product on my Smugmug and don't believe I'll be able to justify another $100. I have a question though. How do I find… -
Re: Pro Account increase
Clearly a gap, and based on my exchanges with Don on Facebook today, one that I think they are hearing loud and clear. They are using the new price tiers to separate server-hogging users from the rest, but I think they lumped the hobbyists in with the wrong group. I'll bet if they looked at the storage and bandwidth usage… -
Re: Pro Account increase
I am also VERY disappointed. I like smugmug for what I need to do. I also don't make a lot of money from prints. I do a lot of shooting for a local high school band and most of my customers are from parents and band boosters who don't have a lot of money to spend. The $150/yr made it worthwhile to me; I'm not sure that… -
Re: Pro Account increase
1 question, simple answer I renewed August 13th for $150 on my Pro Acct. Do I owe $100 on Oct 15th or not? Will it be pulled directly from my account or do I need to take some action? I looked at my sales since I became a member 2 years ago... while not barnstorming, I have made a $1300 profit from just online sales.... so… -
Re: Pro Account increase
100% increase for no functionality? I appreciate Baldy's video, but seriously the thought process behind this is quite foolish. Sure, people upload bigger images, but storage prices HAVE come down. Sure, there's bandwidth cost, but that's a given - you can't tell me SM's bandwidth charges have gone up 100%. Why not keep it… -
Re: Pro Account increase
That's fine to be miffed. They messed up by not predicting the explosion in storage costs. They messed up by not realizing that they needed to encourage customers to manage their own storage. Unlimited storage for their photography site turns out not to work long term at the prices they were charging. They need to address… -
Re: Pro Account increase
In my opinion, I don’t think SM pricing is as bad as people are making them out to be, $300 for Business, $150 for portfolio (yes it was a big jump up) I will be dropping down to portfolio as I don’t sell that many photos and don’t need some of the stuff that business offers, so to retain the watermark. thats my decision.… -
Re: Pro Account increase
So a freelance photographer is not a working professional? Thanks for the insult. Yet another another reason why I pretty much stopped hanging around this forum. Between the "Real Professionals" and one unchecked moderator, this place got old quick.. The only reason I logged in was to see what was going on with the price… -
Re: Pro Account increase
I also got my email: 67% price increase. I'm due for renewal in April 2013. Will I renew? That will depend on SmugMug. At this price, you are the same price as Photoshelter and more expensive than Zenfolio. Both are more flexible and only Zenfolio has the unlimited bandwidth/storage like SM. The problem is "Where's the…
