Tip 1. No Passwords

Never put passwords on your events. I never want to limit who can, and can not, purchase prints from an event. Not having passwords gives the guests who you could have never sold prints to, the ability to buy prints as they don't need to get any information from the bride and or groom. This also allows potential brides to see what a complete wedding looks like as well.

Tip 2. Rate Your Images

Take the time to rate the best 4-6 images within each category on your events. By rating and organizing your images you are putting your best foot forward, and the event will look its best. If the most captivating images are shown first in each category, the viewers have a lot more incentive to look through the remainder of your gallery, and it gets them excited about the event. When the viewers are pulled into the event by great imagery, they dive deeper into the event, and you look good, to boot. And thus you will, quite possibly, sell more prints. Win-Win.

Tip 3. Post Events Early

Post your events at least 3 months in advance. This allows you time to collect the email addresses of the family/friends of your clients. So, when you do send out the mass email once the event is up, you already have a large base of people to notify that the event is online, etc.
