Zenfolio, Smugmug, and Photoshelter


Recommended Posts

Does anyone have experience selling work through a service like Zenfolio, Smugmug, or Photoshelter as marketing tools and sales sites? I already use Zenfolio for portfolio display, but am giving serious thought to Photoshelter for sales.

 

Specifically, I am struggling with turning over printing to someone else. Many of these services use Kodak Endura paper and it comes in glossy, lustre, and matte finishes. I am interested in knowing the quality of the prints. My preference would be to sell my work using Hahnemuhle Fine Art Baryta paper, which is what I print on. Yet, these pre-canned websites don't require me to build a site, handle fulfillment, and make the commerce very easy. Moreover, they have some marketing tools, so I am going to give one of them a try. It may not be perfect, but it gets me up and running relatively quickly. Moreover, I can always sell custom prints through other channels.

 

Any thoughts and practical experience would be appreciated.

 

Thanks
