How to get your business back on track and make 2021 your best year ever

Sprout Studio is an all-in-one app to help you run your photography business and includes a CRM, studio management system, galleries & more!

2020 was hard. It hit like a ton of bricks. It has shaken up humankind in a way we could never have imagined.

And you? You’ve been affected, big or small.

But you are strong.

You are resilient.

You will bounce back.

You will make it out on the other side.

But … things will never be the same again.

A commitment to you

Through the pandemic, we pivoted our entire Sprout Studio team. We adopted a whole new mission and realigned our compass to help you – a professional photographer – navigate the uncertain times.

We are proud to have had a guiding voice through these difficult times. We’ve taught and helped tens of thousands of professional photographers worldwide.

And – we’re going to keep helping.

The guidance isn’t over. We will continue to be a leading voice, and continue to help you navigate the changing times, recover from the ongoing challenges and flourish as a professional photographer.

Black Friday 2020

Black Friday is usually a time when companies like ours come up with a once-in-a-year deal and create a win-win opportunity.

This year? Sure – we’re going to have a good deal for you.

But it’s so much more than that.

We are doubling down our efforts to help you. We’re pulling out all the stops. We’re committing to you because you’re committing to us.

Typically, we offer a 30% savings to new Sprout Studio users and a 15% savings to existing Sprout Studio users.

That’s our go-to deal for Black Friday. It works.

So if you sign up on a typical Black Friday, you know that you can save 30% this year and then you’ll be able to renew with a 15% savings the next year.

That’s great.

But not this year, though.

This year, for the first time (and probably the last), we’re offering a 30% savings to everyone.

But that’s not it.

We’re letting you lock those savings in for up to 3 years.

So that works out to massive savings over time!

It’s not just about the savings

Ok – so sure, that’s great and all. That’s the “once-in-a-lifetime” deal. But this isn’t about the deal or the savings. This is about us helping you. Subscribing and locking in the deal is just a way for you to raise your hand. It’s a way for you to show a commitment to grow your business and turn things around.

In the early days of 2020, we built invitations and public booking pages for our users to streamline their scheduling and automate their bookings. We didn’t charge anything extra for it.

Then, earlier this year, we built email marketing into Sprout Studio as a way for our users to communicate with their clients (en masse) through the difficult times. We didn’t charge anything extra for it.

Later in the year, we built the most beautiful email drag-and-drop designer on the market. This tool has changed how photographers around the world are building and designing their email marketing efforts. We didn’t charge anything extra for it.

We have been trying to give, give, give. We’ve been trying to help you any way that we can. And now? We’re designing an online store for you, building lab integration and making an order workflow engine that’ll transform the way you sell and fulfill your photography to your clients.

And you guessed it – we won’t charge anything extra for it.

See – that’s what you’re getting when you subscribe.

You get the finest studio management suite on the market. You get the only tool that gives you everything you need in one place. You get to give your clients the most beautiful digital experience. You get to get organized. You get peace of mind.

And even though all of that would be worth it, beyond that, you also get us. You get our unapologetic, unwavering and obsessive dedication to continuing to help. You get us, showing up every day, doing anything and everything we can to continue to build the best tool for you. You get the best-in-class support and help when you need it. You get a team that listens and a company that cares.

When you subscribe for Black Friday this year, you’re committing to your business. And we’re committing to you.

Helping you redo 2020

For the first time (and probably the last), you can save 30% on your Sprout Studio annual subscription for up to 3 years.

We’ve built all-new templates for you; a business-in-a-box, if you will. You get over 100 email templates, questionnaires, contract templates, and more so you can get out of the gates swinging.

When you commit for 2 or 3 years, you’re also going to get an entirely-new course made exclusively to help you redo 2020. This redo 2020 course is an in-depth, guided course that’ll give you the mindset, the strategies and the specific tactics to help you turn things around in 2021.

We’re putting an insane amount of resources into our “redo 2020” mission this year, including our Black Friday savings. We’re doing it because we want to be there to help you. We want to walk by your side, and give you the strategies and guidance to navigate the changing times, recover from the ongoing challenges and flourish as a professional photographer.

Join us, will you? Let’s pivot, not panic. Let’s plan for a fearless future. Let’s put the year behind us, and let’s redo 2020 together.

Frequently Asked Questions

Have some questions?

Still have questions about Sprout Studio? We’ve got you! Let’s dig in …

Sprout Studio is different because you get all the apps you need in one place. You get a CRM, invoicing, contracts, bookings, scheduling, questionnaires, galleries, email marketing, album proofing, AI tools, reports and so much more in one single, seamless platform specifically designed for photographers!

You can watch a short demo video of Sprout Studio here. Each feature page on our site also has live demos of various features in Sprout Studio. The best way for you to preview what Sprout Studio looks like is to sign up for a free trial and see it in action for yourself!

It’s not really a fair comparison (for the others) to compare us, because other CRMs are like a camera without a lens and accessory ecosystem. The camera itself may be great, but you’re forced to hunt for off-brand lenses, flashes and accessories that don’t fit and work the same as they would if they were on-brand.

The competitors do 1 thing – a CRM – for example. Or they do online galleries. Or they do email marketing. And many of them do that 1 thing really well! Sprout does those things too – a CRM, galleries and email marketing. And feature-for-feature, we’re all more-or-less comparable. The real difference is that with Sprout, you get all the tools you need in one place, so it’s better for you, your clients and your wallet! Everything works nicely together.

At Sprout Studio, you get industry-leading support from real people who show up every day to help you succeed as a photographer. They’re happy to answer your questions via email, right in your account or via phone.

There are several pricing plans and options for your Sprout Studio subscription, starting as low as $19/month USD. You can learn more on our pricing page.

Setting up Sprout Studio is straightforward. We’ve designed the platform with ease of use in mind. You first walk through Startup Wizard, which guides you through the initial setup process step by step. Additionally, you can download templates and preset workflows that make customization quick and simple, allowing you to get your CRM up and running in no time.

No, you don’t have to start from scratch with Sprout Studio. We provide 100s of customizable templates for emails, contracts, questionnaires, and more, which you can easily adapt to fit your brand and workflow. These templates are designed to save you time and effort, making it easier to maintain consistency and professionalism across all client interactions.

Migrating your existing clients to Sprout Studio is a smooth process. We offer tools that allow you to quickly enter client data directly into Sprout Studio from your existing CRM. You can also hire us to do it for you, and our concierge team will seamlessly migrate your clients for you.
