Chris Scott of www.theprintmakersystem.com is the guy behind Swift Galleries and the Printmaker System. In this interview, Chris shares how to introduce in-person wall art and album sales into your business and make it super easy and profitable. What he shares will work for you if you're only selling online at the moment OR if you want to improve your IPS.
One thing about Chris, he is dedicated with a passion, to helping photographers make more sales – it feels like it's his life's focus! If you haven't heard of Swift Galleries, it's a web-based application to make it easier to sell your photography work via IPS – whether in person or via an online meeting.
Chris has also recently kicked off a new podcast – The Printmaker Podcast. The concept behind the podcast is following a different photographer in each episode as they move from Shoot and Burn to IPS.
The plan for this interview was to discover some new ideas to help you make more sales with your photography if… in-person sales are for you. What Chris shared amounted to so much more! In the interview, learn exactly how to make selling one of the easiest things you can do in your photography business!
