Create it, Share it, Sell it!

LONDON - Beat the Crunch by Selling Your Photo Books!

PhotoBox, the UK and Europe’s number one online community for photo printing and personal publishing is today launching its new Sell It! tool which will allow anyone to sell their own photo book creations online for cash.

Every penny of the household budget is important these days, so what better way to give it a boost than by creating beautiful photo products in the comfort of your own home? The process of building your photo book is made effortless thanks to Photobox’s unique online tool, so all you need to concentrate on is watching the money roll in!

Budding creatives all over the country can now become an internet retailer and generate money from the sale of their photo book creations and generate money from the sale of their photo book creations or raise much needed cash for charities or small organisations. Everyone from house mums to office workers can sell to their friends and family or just to people who share their passions.

Mark Chapman, MD of PhotoBox, comments “We’re commited to empowering our customers with the tools to not only get creative in new ways, but to help them financially in these tricky times. The general public are the real winners, whether it’s helping out with the weekly shopping budget or giving something back to the kid’s school.”

Users can create, price and sell all eight types of PhotoBox photo books quickly, easily and directly from the PhotoBox website to friends, family and potential customers by email, or a hyperlink on their blog, facebook page or website!

The photo book creator is free to add a mark-up to the cost of the book - which can be kept as profit or for fundraising. PhotoBox simply charges a flat 10% of the ex-VAT mark-up as an administration fee, with the rest going straight to the seller.

Sell it! is easy…

1) Create a book

2) Add a mark-up on the sale value e.g. add GBP5 to the price of a book

3) Share the book with friends, family or any network of potential buyers via the new online preview of the book from which they can buy direct

Case Study

Anna Plumb

“After completing my Cycle Chile to Argentina challenge for the National Deaf Children’s Society I created a photo book with pictures from the trip and sold them to help me reach my fundraising target. It’s a brilliant way to fundraise, particularly as raising money through sponsorship is getting so much harder these days!”
