I'm in a similar situation as I take a lot of pictures of my daughter's dance company performances. Other parents want to see and purchase pictures of their kids and are happy with what I have available. The problem is that they want to take their time viewing and selecting. I started with in-person sales, but when a typical sale involves an hour to view and select, it becomes difficult to coordinate schedules. And it also severely limits my ability to present to everyone that wants to see what I have available.

I was always being asked if they could be viewed on line. My solution is to still offer in person sales, but to also establish an on line site. I can offer slightly cheaper prices in person, but if the convenience and ability to pay by credit card is a factor, then I can refer them to the web site.

Having said that, I'm just now getting the site established, so the long term effectiveness of this approach still remains to be seen.
