NextProof Sneak Peek 2: The Digital Negative

by Erik Dungan

One of the cooler features we've built into NextProof is the ability to sell high-resolution files from any gallery or event. The great part is: you can do it but you don't have to do it.

It's a product ... or several products

High-res files (digital negatives, if you prefer) are simply products that you define in your NextProof account. Simply create a product and check the appropriate box.

You can create several digital products. For example, you may want to charge $100 for files from a wedding, but $250 for files from a senior portrait session.

Fulfillment is automated & secure

When a gallery has a digital product attached, it can be added to the shopping cart–just like a print. When a customer purchases a file and completes the checkout process, they are then given access to download the file. It's that easy.

Benefits

We think the ability to sell and automatically deliver high-res files will have at least two major benefits (I'm sure we'll think of more).

First, we feel it will increase your profits without increasing your workload.

Second, photographers can leverage NextProof to license stock, editorial and news photography. You set the price. You set the terms. You don't lose 30% of your revenue to a microstock agency.

Hey, we know selling digital files is not appropriate for every event or job. When it is, NextProof delivers.
