Why I Switched from Pixieset to Pic-Time

In this CZcams video I wanted to talk about why I recently switched my gallery delivery software Pixieset to PicTime.
The Main Reason for the Switch: I had heard from other photographers that when they switched to Pic-Time they were getting a lot more sales, and making a lot more money from the print store because of the automations feature. So basically automations are the string of emails and like campaigns that the gallery delivery system Pic-time automatically will send to your clients when you activate them. So it's basically free email marketing.
How I Switched: PicTime has a service called their migration service. When you sign up, you tell them through their system that you need to migrate your galleries over.
I does take them about five weeks to migrate. I had 309 galleries and the migration cost was $154.
I go over all of this as well as the pros and cons of switching in this video!

Short and sweet. Thank you for hitting all the important points ! Will be switching w your code :)

[@selah2911]

Very helpful! I'm leaning towards pic-time now. I want to start strong and hopefully limit switching to a different service for a long while...if ever! Love the email marketing and print features.

[@Samiaeducation]

Yes!! The automations are what sold me!

[@s2f-spiritualfinancialfree785]

Thanks' for the Video... I looking at Pic-Time because of their print campaigns but I use pixieset for my website, what are you using to host your site?

[@Samiaeducation]

I use Showit for my website and Wordpress to host :)

[@trancer03]

I been using pic time for over a year and nobody ever bought anything. The only feedback i heard is that the stuff in the shop is SUPER EXPENSIVE. So its been completely unusable except for delivering the images digitally.

[@Samiaeducation]

Oh interesting! I have found success with using the automations, have you tried those? And you can definitely change the prices in your store too :)

[@trancer03]

@@Samiaeducation But how do you know how much the stuff needs to cost to still turn a profit after paying taxes? I live in belgium and i have no clue how much stuff needs to cost in order to make a profit. And i have no clue where i could find such information.
and no never used any of the features pic time has besides basic posting of images and creating a gallery for a client and delivering them their images like that.
