p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Ordering Minimum for "destination" e-sessions. | |
I know most of you include full rez e-session files with you wedding packages. Thus, after sales are not a big part of what you do. For those of you who do...this is more for you.
We had a few e-sessions last year where we traveled quite far (5 hours+) and got zero sales after the fact. It was not because they photos were sub-par...in both cases they loved them. But, they were both people that were on tighter budgets. We charged a little bit for travel expenses, but probably not as much as we should. So, in both these cases, we spent two full days out of the office (travel/shooting day, hotel stay at night, then travel back), and got nothing for it.
The wife and I were just talking about finding a way to ensure we are not wasting two days and basically losing money by not being able to accomplish our regular work in as timely a manner. The two options are to charge an exaggerated travel fee or two require a product order minimum. We do not really like the travel charge fee going way up, because if people do still decide to buy, then they basically gave us money for nothing. But, I am not sure how well the order minimum would be received. Granted, 90% of our couples buy a reasonable amount after the session, so it is not a huge issue. But, it's one that is weighing on us more as our free time becomes less and less.
Thoughts?
