Hhimagehost was launched in 2009 to serve the unique needs of volume school and sports
photographers. Our goal was to provide online sales capabilities to increase studio sales and
decrease studio labor during the busiest time of the volume business year.
We are very excited to bring you this dramatic update of hhimagehost. When you look
at what weve been working on, we hope you will see that weve been listening to you,
learning the best practices for the volume business, and tying it all together in this
integrated online sales program.
Whether your goal is to offer hassle-free online credit card purchases for prepay or proof
plan sales, or enjoy the found money of second sales opportunities, hhimagehosts sim-
ple & fast sales solutions put the studio brand out front. It provides the peace of mind that
comes with secure PCI compliant credit card purchases. With unlimited galleries, unlimited
images, and options for automatic fulfillment or studio fulfillment, hhimagehost becomes a
highly cost effective sales tool for the year-round volume photographer.
