    The PJ team have done a great job of LabFTP 3.2, especially this:

    “If you quit LabFTP, or turn off your computer, or pull the plug – or even if our server goes down – just double click on the order in the Order History window and the upload will resume!”

    Click here for help with the new version (we’ll cover the Print Ordering function in a day or two).

    Cheers, Ian

    This post is now superseded by new Photojunction functionality.

    labftp-iconIf you’re uploading your Queensberry album orders using LabFTP, we’ve just released version 3, with added functionality for ordering prints from QBY online.

    We’re very excited about the online print ordering function – but it’s restricted for now to New Zealand clients, so let me talk first about how it impacts on albums.

    labftp2

    LabFTP 3 integrates more closely with PJ Remix. For example you’re no longer asked to provide information that you’ve already entered in PJ. It also shares Remix’s look and feel. Version 3 is no longer a beta, so you only need to re-register every twelve months, the same as Remix. The software also shares Remix’s Check For Updates feature, meaning it’s easy to stay up to date.

    labftp3

    The online print ordering function transforms a mundane, time-consuming task. It ensures you get exactly what you want, fast and first time. You can order prints based on the Collections you create in Remix, which is a real time saver. At our end, the process is automated, meaning we can cut turn-around times substantially, especially if you’re using our Print-Ready service.

    Album orders will continue to go through our current manual procedures for a few more months.

    You can click here to download LabFTP 3 right now. If you prefer you can wait until v2.4 expires 30 April. And here’s a link to the Help pages.

    We’re sure you’ll enjoy using the software. All the best from everyone at Queensberry.

    Cheers, Ian

    In no time at all our November 1 cut-off will be upon us, and it will be no surprise to see…

    • Album orders coming in with title pages that have 2007 (and even 2006) wedding dates, and
    • Clients who absolutely must have them by Christmas!

    In other words – almost certainly – stone cold sales, and – probably – missed opportunities…

    How can you avoid this happening? Be proactive!

    Steve told you how he did it. Here are a few other suggestions, none of them rocket science:

    1. Book an appointment with your clients as soon as possible after the wedding, and wow them with a slide show. It will take just a few minutes with Photojunction Remix and you’ll have them weeping in their seats.

    2. In your slide show, show them an album, not the images. That’ll take you an hour or two in PJ Remix and you’re half way to the sale.

    3. Don’t give your clients anything to take away until the album order is finalised. If you give them a stack of prints, or a DVD of images, you satisfy their emotional need without finalising the sale.

    4. Remember Sales 101 and ask for the order before they leave.

    5. Treat this as an opportunity to upsell, not just to settle what they committed to before they saw their own photographs.

    Note that first you have to be proactive on yourself. Work out your cunning plan. Try it out on real live clients. Use the experience to make it better.

    We’d love to hear about your own sales strategies.

    Cheers, Ian

    We reckon it’s time to upgrade to PJ Remix. The guys at Team PJ haven’t gone final yet, but they must be getting close.

    Talia from our design department loves it: “Yay for Remix! I’ve been doing a heap of digital album exports lately and I use a lot of non standard sizes in digital albums. Using Remix I don’t need to make any adjustments to the alignment in Photoshop because PJ is now spot on! So much time being saved!”

    Talia had been holding off because the QuickTime movie function was “too slow”, but now that’s fixed there’s no holding her back.

    So you know, you can move from PJ Retro to Remix at any time without charge. Your version 6.23 subscription will continue until its normal expiry.

    Here’s some feedback from a survey PJ did in February.
