One of the print services popular with photographers on Google+ is +SmugMug. I've been a SmugMug user for over 7 years, so I couldn't help but notice the price increase for my renewal. Upon looking into it further, I was pleased to see on their blog that SmugMug has included the ability to set custom pricing for the $150 Portfolio accounts:
New for Portfolio Accounts: Price and Sell
http://news.smugmug.com/2012/11/08/new-for-portfolio-accounts-price-sell/
The Business accounts do offer advantages such as multiple custom price lists and the ability to create coupons to run sales promotions, but it's nice to have multiple tiers of functionality and pricing to choose from.
Here are the SmugMug portfolios of some of the G+ photographers included in this circle. I didn't have the SmugMug address for everyone, so feel free to add your SmugMug address below (and let me know if you 'd like to be added to the circle).

Once again a reminder to get off my butt and update that thing and make it pretty. 🙂
Thanks +Jeff Sullivan for adding me to the list! Greatly appreciate it
Sigh….I work at +SmugMug and I STILL can't make +Jeff Sullivan's list 🙁 Sigh http://www.mb-photography-sf.com
+Jeff Sullivan Can you add me to this circle? Arlen Fletcher / http://www.arlenfletcher.com
Thanks!
Thanks – My site can also be found at http://www.cameronsiguenza.com – I was pleased to see they offered custom pricing for the $150 portfolio accounts too.
I am such a poor SmugMug user. They really are wonderful. It's all me…
Thanks for the mention Jeff. I actually shut down my SmugMug page about a month back. Choosing to renew wasn't cost effective for me at the time. Maybe someday I'll have one again!
Mostly I keep SmugMug employees and customers in separate circles +Michael Bonocore and you're in that one. For this I imported names of people responding to posts looking for SmugMug users, so if I didn't recognize an employee or two some may have slipped into this circle by accident.
You and me both +Derek Osborne!
My pleasure +Scott Horvath and +Cameron Siguenza.
Will do +Arlen Fletcher.
Ah, got ya +Jeff Sullivan… probably for the better. I am so busy with work, I have little time to edit photos lately. Taking photos isn't a problem, but editing those photos is…..well If anyone (+Lynne Goodwin) ever has any questions or would like to share what they may need help with, I am always here to help! 🙂
Thanks, +Jeff Sullivan🙂 By the way, today is the last day to sign up with SmugMug for new user account activations and still get the 25% discount using the promo code FIREWORKS.
I was going to do this today, but because of the complexity of figuring out the different account types and other choices, I'm going to have to defer reading their site's materials until I have some spare time (very busy these days).
+Richard Creamer shoot me a message if you want, and I can help you identify which account is right for you.
could I get an add to this circle please +Jeff Sullivan ? 🙂 Bryan Nabong http://bryannabong.com
+Jeff Sullivan, can you add me to your circle as well? zgrethphoto.smugmug.com …. thanks!
I've been using Zenfolio (http://ordering.starcircleacademy.com/) which allows me a custom URL. Any Smug Users in this list who switched FROM Zenfolio? Though I am US based, most of my print sales are in the UK. Works fine with Zenfolio, can anyone comment on SmugMug and international sales?
Thanks +Jeff Sullivan – I do love +SmugMug. 🙂
Of course +Bryan Nabong and +Zach Grether, you're in.
I'm sure that +Michael Bonocore can clarify international printing and shipping capabilities +Steven Christenson. I know there are some European users in this circle. (I could give you a referral code for a small discount, but the current promotion and other discount codes available on the Internet blow the individual referral system out of the water.)
Thank you, +Jeff Sullivan! And, ooh, I finally got my URL to point to my SmugMug, so I get to be just robingriggswood.com now … woohoo! … :o))
+Steven Christenson of course, we also allow custom URLs. See my site at http://www.mb-photography-sf.com. Also, we have a UK printing printer! So you can choose +Loxley Colour as your printer, and those UK orders will come directly from one of the best print labs in Europe.
+Steven Christenson Check out the news about it from last year http://news.smugmug.com/2012/03/23/welcome-loxley-colour/
Thanks +Athena Carey 🙂
Looks awesome +Robin Griggs Wood! You know how much I love that Header 🙂
Woo thanks Jeff! I'm also doing 20% of my prints this week – use coupon code "catsareawesome" at lisadonchak.smugmug.com #shamelessplug #aslongasweretalkingaboutit 😉
thanks for the mention +Jeff Sullivan
Hey +Jeff Sullivan, if you want to add me my website is http://www.derek-kind.com. Thanks for doing this. 🙂
You're welcome +Robin Griggs Wood. I set up a redirect from http://www.JeffSullivan.BIZ to SmugMug a few years ago, but then I read that search engines could ignore content accessed through redirects.
I should ask SmugMug support if there's a way to integrate the new URL better, so inclusion in Internet searches is preserved.
+Jeff Sullivan Thanks for the nod, my friend. The site I set up there has been pretty basic but I love the simplicity of it all and how the photos are presented over there. I've managed to sell a few prints through them with no effort at all so it's been great so far. 😉
Thanks for the mention +Jeff Sullivan …I just renewed last month. I had one sale last year for a grand total of $1.79 so it was a hard decision. Either I don't spam my friends and family enough or my work isn't that great…haven't figured it out yet 🙂
Great Pictures, Jeff! I remember this site was featured on Kate Russels Webscape on Click earlier this year, also dunno if it was the reproduction but the colour in both was Excellent.
I would love to be added to this list +Jeff Sullivan. My SmugMug site is http://www.CristeneSellers.com.
Done +Cris Sellers, I've placed you in the circle, and I'll re-publish the list in an upcoming post.
