How It Knows When to Send

Timing intelligence,
not guesswork

Shutter connects to your booking system and gallery platform. Every trigger is date-driven — no manual scheduling, no forgotten follow-ups.

Session Date Triggers

1-week, 6-month, 1-year anniversaries

Shutter reads your session date from your booking system. At 1 week: delivery confirmation. At 6 months: "Your gallery is turning 6 months old" with a gentle rebook nudge. At 1 year: a full anniversary celebration with a seasonal offer.

What the Emails Look Like

Emails that feel personal,
not automated

Written in plain language, signed with your name. Clients don't know it's automated — they just feel remembered.

Shutter vs. The Alternatives

Generic tools weren't built
for photographers

Mailchimp needs you to build lists, write copy, and schedule manually. Shutter does all three — automatically, on the exact right day.
