PhotoBox powers Photoconomy A credit crunch buster – everybody can make money with PhotoBox.co.uk

PRLog (Press Release) - Feb 19, 2009 -
PhotoBox, the UK and Europe’s number one online community for photo printing and personal publishing, today gives every budding pro-photographer the tools to sell their photographs online. The company has developed a unique consumer-to-consumer proposition (C2C) which means photographers can sell images via their own online gallery, personally selecting the products they sell and prices that they charge.

Photographers can upload and manage their photos on PhotoBox.co.uk as normal and then simply head to the PhotoBox Pro Gallery site to convert their albums into collections that are displayed for sale. Each gallery can be personalised with the photographer’s own logo design, gallery description and contact details.  By sharing a link to the gallery, collections can be viewed and purchased by the photographer’s own customer base. The entire range of print sizes plus a selection of simple gifts are available to sell at prices set by the gallery owner. PhotoBox handles all of the order processing, printing, posting and packaging and after sales customer care on behalf of the gallery owner. The gallery owner simply checks their admin page to see their sales and revenue.  Pro galleries are totally free to set up, PhotoBox charges a simple 10 % commission for each gallery sale.

Commenting on the new Pro Gallery service, Mark Chapman, PhotoBox Managing Director, said: “The new Pro Gallery service gives all photographers an easy to use and free to set up service, allowing them to create their gallery and start selling in just a few minutes.  If you are a photographer who wants to sell your work, PhotoBox gives you the tools to create and manage a customised gallery that you can share with your customer base, maximising sales.  The new Pro Gallery service is available now for everyone to get selling! ”


The new Pro Gallery service has been co-created with photographers and works alongside PhotoBox’s web 2.0 consumer personal printing and publishing service. The original PhotoBox Pro Gallery service launched in 2002 and has thousands of photographers already using the service and contributing their ideas, many of which are now available with the new service and many more powerful selling and customisation features will be available in the New Year. The Pro Gallery is available now to start selling straight away.  

To start earning from your photos, make sure that you have an account and photos on www.PhotoBox.co.uk then go to www.PhotoBox.co.uk/progallery , sign in using your PhotoBoxPhotoBox details and follow the simple set up wizard to create your gallery.
