Hi folks
When resizing a photograph to send as a proof what size and quality do you send, and how long would you expect to wait for an order (if any).

Hmm. Not sure what the best approach is for this. I assume that the shots are done on a purely speculative basis.

Do you have to send proofs out. This does tend to take the advantage away from you when it comes to selling, and may not yield a high return. Are you sending more than one picture ? Can you pre sell the pictures, That's not easy I know.

If they have more than one picture to choose from you could try making up a montage on a print 5" x 7" . Tell them that's the size of the print they will get and ask them to choose which Pictures they want. Always assume they will want more than one. Also offer a discount if they return the order within say 7 days.

You might be able to do a display at the track, but I suspect the organisers/owners may want some money or percentage for giving you the space. However you might be able to do a contra-deal by providing them with pictures for magazines. It may be worth asking.

The alternative is to sell off a web site, but that may involve costs you are not willing to spend at the moment, without an idea of how successful things may be.
