I recently had some framed prints done by Mpix, after hearing many reviews of the quality and unbeatable prices. I was really impressed with them!
Mpix partners with Zenfolio to offer storefronts for photographers. I have eyed their service for the past year, but could not justify the cost. However, dealing with the past two companies annoyed me, so I finally decided to give them a shot.
As I said, I hope the third time is the charm! I redid my gallery and shop on my website, so they are one and the same, with over 50 images, many old, but many more that are new. So far I have been happy with the service, and I really think my problem from the beginning was going with unknown companies who did not take input to heart.
To celebrate my new service, I am offering a coupon code! I will likely offer these throughout the year, but this is the first one! This 15% off your order code can be entered in the checkout process on the website, and it expires next Wednesday, the 9th of June at 11:59 Alaska time. Go to my website, click on "Gallery & Prints", then decide on the image(s) you want. In the checkout box, enter the code exactly as: NEWSERVICE10
Zenfolio has a referral program, where by using my number, you get $5 off the service for yourself. (I get $5 for the referral as well) If you have been interested in trying out the service, I can definitely say that my first day using it has been great. My code is: DQ5-194-YJM
Feel free to share this post with your friends if they would be interested in the new prints I have put up!
I've been using Mpix for years. They printed my calendar for me last year and will no doubt do it again this year (if I make one).
ReplyDeleteI have all prints sent to me and I ship them out. I do this for several reasons:
I like to check the quality. A few times a print was too dark for my liking. They will correct it for free if you don't check the "Do not autocorrect" button.
I also adhere a bio sticker with my photo, website, short bio, and contact info to the back (I make them here at home)
And lastly, I sign all of my work.
I have often thought of doing it the easy way and letting someone else handle the process, but I really prefer to sign my work, and most folks who order from me want my signature on it too. (You could offer that as an option)
It's a lot of work - particularly during the holidays when I get quite a few orders for Christmas gifts, and also offer my calendar. Maybe I should hire someone to do my packaging and shipping! :)
Good luck to you with this new gallery. And I hope you'll be pleased with mPix. I am. I have all of my prints 8x10 or larger mounted. I love the stability!
