Created exclusively for Design Aglow by ProSelect to boost sales exponentially and make client ordering sessions a breeze with our three Inspire Guide Plugins for Pro Select are an  amazing companion to our three fabulous Inspire Guides: Wall Displays. Incorporating powerful presentation and sales tools into a clean and elegant design, ProSelect presents images attractively as they will appear on a client’s walls, but right inside your own studio.

What is ProSelect?
As the perfect companion to our Inspire Guide, ProSelect, with its powerful plug-in, is a completely interactive drop and drag, multimedia experience that is easy, fun, and rewarding to use. No more guesswork– now clients will appreciate being able to visualize the amazing possibilities with their own favorite images.

With just a click of a mouse button, ProSelect quickly inserts images and customizes them effortlessly, whether flipping a wall horizontally, changing pictures to black and white, or any of the other numerous options available (see product details below).

What’s more, clients will be amazed at how simple it is to create and purchase a beautiful designer gallery in just minutes.

Start with the Inspire Guide wall galleries as inspiration before a session to help clients envision the stunning possibilities of wall displays of their own images. After the shoot, share sample wall galleries using client portraits. At the sales meeting, fine tune or create new wall galleries from clients’ favorite images quickly and easily using the plug-in for Pro Select. After the sales, simply export the high-resolution files for printing in the sizes displayed in the program!

Since we started using ProSelect with Inspire Guide in our own studios, our average orders have multiplied significantly– and we have heard hundreds of similar success stories from both portrait and wedding photographers.

Our Inspire Guide Plugins for Pro Select takes sales to the next level. See what they can do for your business!

Marie Cox of Phreckles Photography tells us how she sent out her newsletter this week using our new Studio Newsletter Collection.

She writes, “I took your template and just uploaded my images, changed the text a bit and uploaded straight to my monthly newsletter. I loved how easy this was and how perfect it was for my branding. I was able to design my newsletter in under 20 minutes when it usually takes me a few days to get it together.

I have had about 5 clients email me about the ‘new look’ and they love it. Some said it reminded them of a Mini Boden catalog!”

We love how you can use the Studio Newsletter Collection as a printed magazine or as a virtual one on your website…either way, it’s fabulous marketing for your studio!

Jamie Kutter shares her clever packaging ideas with us on the blog today. She writes, “I wanted to change up my packaging and when I saw the new All Buttoned Up letters I loved them! I just re-sized each letter and printed them as wallets. I tie the initial of my clients last name to the front of the box or bag. I printed the heart with my logo beneath it to go inside the box.  It was so easy AND it makes my packaging personal for each client too!”

We agree Jaime, and are sending you a $75 shopping spree to say thanks~
