Let the holidays ring with more cha-CHING! Halloween’s flown by, which means it’s time to dig out the lights, bake some cookies and be the brightest house on the block.

It’s also the perfect time to offer a cornucopia of beautiful gifts to your clients so they can be smiling through the New Year. Here’s how.

Keep the Money Rolling In

• Spike Your Sales With Coupons. Sweeten the deal with Percent Off, Amount Off, Free Shipping, At-Cost and Print Credit discounts. Coupons make buying more fun, and nothin’ says lovin’ like 25% off.

• Package Up Holiday Cheer. Santa-size your sales and save time by bundling your best items into Packages. Make buying so easy, they can shop with one hand.

• Cash in on Holiday Cards. Clients can build their own 4×8 and 5×7 photo cards, then buy them at the price you set. Show them our pre-made templates or create your own using their favorite photos.

• Turn Downloads into Dough. Set your own price for digital photos and videos under the Downloads tab and deliver their memories instantly. Sell videos up to 20 minutes and 3 GB each. 32 different photo sizes are just waiting to be bought.

Get bonus points: Surprise your clients and add a custom Thank You Print to the delivery box. It’s even nicer when you include a coupon code good for their next order. *hint hint*
