2 Make Albums of your images

There are many reasons for creating albums and displaying them in your Store. First, it’s a great way to organise your images for you and your visitors.

‍

Secondly, making albums gives you that feel-good feeling to see your images neatly displayed in sets–allowing you and your potential customers to admire your work in a nicely curated setting.

‍

Third, it makes it easy to share and advertise your work online and across your networks. With Picfair Stores, each album gets its own unique link, making it easy to post and share with people!

3 Add personal touches to your Store

Once you’ve chosen your Theme, uploaded some images, and put them into albums, consider what personal touches you want to add to your Picfair Store.

Think of these personal touches as extensions of your personal brand as a photographer. For example, you might want to add a logo, a welcome page, or even your own personal watermark.

These little touches make all the difference; they help visitors remember your Store and give it a standout impression.

‍

Ensure you also add plenty of info to your Picfair Stores’s About page. Tell people your story and what drives you as a photographer. Remember to include any links to social media, blogs, or additional websites you have and add these to your menu.
‍

How to add those personal touches:
‍
Go to Your Store from your Picfair Dashboard where you can find everything you need to personalise your Picfair Store. Including a range of options from adding logos, to selecting a bespoke social media preview image, and configuring a welcome page. See our feature guides for more in depth information, too.
