Selling your photography at one size\u00a0is all well and good, but if you can’t anticipate how your work will be used, it makes sense\u00a0to offer up\u00a0different sizes at various price points.<\/p>\n

By providing what’s essentially a tiered pricing model, you\u2019ll be seen as catering to your customers’ varied needs, and you’ll also appeal to those\u00a0who can\u2019t (or won\u2019t) splash out on the full-sized image. It all stands to potentially increase your profits.<\/p>\n

Our\u00a0Sell Media plugin<\/a>\u00a0can make this process hassle-free. Once installed, you’ll be able to create price groups directly from the WordPress dashboard, and add them to your Sell Media products, all in just a few clicks.<\/p>\n

In this post, we\u2019ll firstly discuss what price groups are and why you\u2019d use them, before\u00a0running through the step by step instructions for implementing them on your WordPress website.<\/p>\n

Why You Should Use Price Groups<\/h2>\n

If a customer has only one size option to choose from when purchasing images, there’s a decent chance\u00a0that the option available won’t suit their specific needs. At best this is an inconvenience and negatively impacts on the customers’ experience; at worst, it will frustrate them to the point of abandoning their purchase.<\/p>\n

Price groups enable you\u00a0to offer your work at various price points and sizes based on their potential use, without having to create several different product pages for each instance. For a real world example, check\u00a0this out:<\/p>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

Here, you can see the image on the left and the differing price\u00a0groups on the right. It gives the customer the opportunity to easily buy your work in a format more suited to their needs, at an appropriate price. Ultimately, it’s a win-win situation \u2013\u00a0if you can make the process as easy as possible for the buyer,\u00a0it\u00a0could translate into increased sales<\/a> down the line.<\/p>\n

Now we’ve discussed what price groups are,\u00a0let’s take a look at how you can implement them using the Sell Media plugin.<\/p>\n

How to Set Up Price Groups in Sell Media<\/h2>\n

First of all, you’ll need to download and install<\/a> the Sell Media plugin<\/a>, if you don’t already have it. Once it’s activated, you’ll see the Sell Media<\/em> tab on your WordPress dashboard \u2013 so navigate to Sell Media > Settings<\/em>, then to the Pricing<\/em> tab.<\/p>\n

Here you’ll see various\u00a0options, including hiding the price of your original image, in case you’d like to rely solely on price groups. For now, the section we’re looking for is Image Price Groups<\/em>:<\/p>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

From here, enter a name for your new price group (we suggest something\u00a0recognizable, as you’ll potentially\u00a0be setting many up) and click Create Price Group<\/em>.\u00a0Then enter your new image dimensions, followed by the price you’d like to charge. Click the Add New Price<\/em> button to add further entries. In our example, we’ve created three\u00a0image size options:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"sell-media-price-group-settings\"<\/p>\n

Sell Media will automatically resize the original image at the point of\u00a0download to the dimensions you’ve set. If you offer a size larger than your original, that option won’t appear to customers.<\/p>\n

Once you’ve added the desired number of price groups, click Save Price Group<\/em>, then Save Settings<\/em>. The final\u00a0step is to assign them to your products and check everything\u00a0on your website’s front end.<\/p>\n

Navigate to Sell Media > All Products <\/em>on\u00a0your WordPress dashboard\u00a0and select\u00a0the appropriate\u00a0product from the list. From the page that displays, scroll down and find the Options<\/em> meta box:<\/p>\n

\"Sell<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

You should already have a price set, so let’s focus on the Price group for downloads<\/em> drop-down menu. Click None<\/em>, and select the price group you just created:<\/p>\n

\"Sell<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Click Update<\/em>\u00a0from the Publish<\/em> meta box and navigate to the product page in question. You’ll see the price groups displayed in a drop-down box on the front end, ready for purchase:<\/p>\n

\"Price<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Conclusion<\/h2>\n

Offering customers an easy way to purchase your images in different sizes makes\u00a0smart business sense. A tiered pricing model enables users of all budgets to purchase your work \u2013 and offering differing sizes means users can buy a product that’s more likely to suit their requirements, rather than shelling out for an image that’s\u00a0unsuitable.<\/p>\n

Using the Sell Media plugin<\/a>, creating price groups with multiple tiers is both quick and simple. Let’s recap the three-step process:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Add the desired price group options to your Sell Media settings page.<\/li>\n
  2. Assign price groups\u00a0to the appropriate Sell Media products.<\/li>\n
  3. Check that your price groups appear alongside each product on your website’s\u00a0front end.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
