Weird, our online sales have spiked huge and now represent a significant portion of our earnings. I'd attribute alot of that to buying a Pickpic cart. For some reason it must be more user-friendly or engineered to drive sales because we've made more in the last few months that we made in the last 3 years.

I've heard this... Does Pickpic fulfill through WHCC yet, or do you still need to do it yourself?

I don't actually know. I use WHCC and I think there is some new add-in to Pickpic to help with fulfillment but I haven't looked into it yet. I'd still rather get the prints in my hands and check them before sending them out, but I'm low volume enough to manage that. No doubt its coming if not already here.

I'm the opposite... I'd rather not deal with it if I trust the lab... That's really the only reason I haven't switched to Pickpic... I don't really have time to fulfill orders myself.

Since everyone and their dog brings their digicams to weddings and snaps hundreds of mostly crappy pictures (to be uploaded and tagged on facebook 19 minutes and 23 seconds after getting home) it is really no surprise that print sales have been declining.
I used to get decent print sales from most weddings, but over the past year it has slowed to a trickle. I'm still doing everything I need to do to promote the website while at weddings, but the sales just aren't coming.
I can't say this has been particularly devastating. Push comes to shove, what usually happens is that up-front prices get raised to compensate for dwindling print sales. The net effect is roughly zero.

Our print sales are down, yes. But we also increased our prices. So it's probably a mixture of the economy and that. That's why our "front end" went up. Last year it was a $125 sitting fee for non-wedding shoots. This year it's $200. And our bookings are up.
We use Miller's online system. Pay $40 a month for unlimited galleries and clients order straight from them. I love it. Never had to touch a thing!

$40 a month seems high. What is the off-the-top percentage. Millers takes per order?
