F.A.Q. - Maintenance
Q. How long can I keep a photo event on my Internet storefront?
A. There is no time limit for photo events that have been published on your Internet storefront. However, we suggest that you remove any photo events that are no longer being requested by your customers. This will allow new customers to find more recent events quicker and increase order efficiency.
In our months of testing trials, events listed for 30 days got more orders then events that were listed for 60 days.
Testing showed an overall 20% average decrease in total sales for 60 days event listings compared to 30 day listings.
Discount pricing almost DOUBLED our orders, based on a 20% discount for the first two weeks of a 30 day posted event and 10% discount on portrait photographers for the first two weeks of a 30 day posted event.
Q. What do you do to protect and secure my photos?
A. The published photograph is approximately 26K in size and specifically designed to maximize viewing quality for your customers while protecting you against unauthorized copying. Right-click ability has been removed, and all preview photos viewed online are protected using a "digital" watermark, thus further protecting your copyrighted photos from unauthorized use.
Q. How long does it take to publish a photo event?
A. The time necessary to publish a photo event depends on two things; the number of photos in the event and the speed of your Internet connection. Below is a list of approximate times to publish a single photo to your Internet storefront.
