In 2022 I moved to Pic Time as my online photo gallery provider and it has been a game changer!!! It came as a referral from business coach (link below). I moved from another popular gallery also starting with P. It has a beautiful interface, sleek, and easy to use. Clients have commented “even I can use this, it is so simple”. Pic Time has beautiful AI store technology that shows the clients images in the products. The single most amazing features I love are the automations. There are many automations to install; early bird discounts, expirations and the Simple Sales (more on that below too!). These automations send all the email to clients without me having to remember to do it.
The app in PicTime is Simple Sales System and it was created by Annime Tomkin. This course covers nitty-gritty pricing and business. It can seem daunting to deal with numbers, but these numbers are what help keeps small businesses in business. The automation is incredible!
