The person behind it

From the photography industry,
not an IT company.

Viktor Obholz, photographer and founder of ADON
Viktor ObholzPhotographer and founder of ADON

“For years, I kept appointments in a calendar and figures in a spreadsheet. Both worked well. They just knew nothing about each other.”

I have worked as a photographer for over 35 years. That experience shapes ADON FotoBusiness and its focus on everyday studio work.

We know enquiries come through every channel, at any time. Plans change at short notice. And on a fully booked Saturday, you can't remember everything. That's how the system is built: enquiries from configured channels come together, appointments can sync with your connected Google Calendar and configured reminders support your daily work.

We spent six months developing and improving ADON FotoBusiness with selected photography studio partners. Their ideas and requests helped shape it, alongside my own experience as a photographer.

Making the switch

Your clients move with you.

We bring your client list from Excel, CSV, your address book or an old CRM into ADON FotoBusiness during onboarding at no extra cost. First we check the export format together and tell you what can come with you. How completely data from an old CRM can be transferred depends on the original system.

How switching works →

You can export your available data. Switching providers is governed by the handover and switching rights in our terms, where applicable also before the end of an annual term.

One plan. Your studio day.

Good to know

Questions about CRM, galleries
and new enquiries.

What is ADON FotoBusiness?

ADON FotoBusiness is browser-based CRM and gallery software for photographers and photography studios. You manage clients, enquiries, appointments and orders and use online galleries to let clients choose images, deliver photos and sell additional shots. Managed ad campaigns from ADON Solutions can be booked separately.

What is a CRM for photographers?

A CRM for photographers is client management built around the way a photography studio works: enquiry, appointment, photoshoot, photo delivery and follow-up sales. In ADON FotoBusiness, contact details, messages, notes, appointments, quotes and galleries sit on one client card. The Kanban workflow shows you where each job currently stands.

Do I need a CRM if I already use gallery software?

Yes, if you don’t want to maintain enquiries, appointments, quotes and contracts in several tools. Gallery software covers photo delivery. In ADON FotoBusiness, every gallery is linked to a client card, and you see the booking, quote and follow-up sales in one place. You can try ADON FotoBusiness free for 30 days, no credit card required.

What happens after the free trial?

The 30-day trial of the core plan ends without an automatic paid subscription. A paid continuation requires a booking. Without a follow-on contract, you have 30 days after the trial ends to retrieve and export your data; it is then deleted under the agreed terms. Your gallery periods apply separately. Explicitly booked MasterChat connections are chargeable during the trial too.

Can I deliver photos and sell additional images?

Yes. You decide which images or image allowances are included and which additional shots you offer for purchase. Clients can select images and download released files. Where editing has been agreed, files are provided once finished. The Stripe payment methods offered require your own Stripe account; its fees apply in addition.

How do I win new photoshoot enquiries with ADON?

You book a managed ad campaign from ADON Solutions. We agree your offer and target region with you, create the agreed ad materials and a landing page with an enquiry form, launch your ads after your approval and manage the campaign for 28 days from the ad start. You provide your photos and contact the prospects. The marketing service is booked separately; ad budget is extra. Enquiries are not guaranteed bookings or revenue.

Do I have to book CRM and marketing together?

No. ADON FotoBusiness can be used as a standalone software subscription. Starter and Business Pro can also be booked without the CRM; on request, FotoBusiness is included for the marketing term without an additional base fee. MasterChat integrations remain chargeable. The single campaign, however, requires a paid FotoBusiness subscription; a free trial is not enough. An existing CRM subscription is only replaced when switching packages by explicit agreement. There is no automatic paid CRM continuation after marketing ends.

What costs come on top of the core plan?

The website LiveChat is included. WhatsApp, Instagram and email integrations each cost €8 net per connected account per month; currently one account per channel is supported. Your own third-party accounts, such as Stripe and, where applicable, sevDesk, and their fees apply when used. Marketing services and ad budgets are agreed separately.

Can I use ADON as a solo photographer?

Yes. You can use client management, bookings and galleries on your own. For photography studios with several authorised users, role management, staff scheduling and availability are also available.

Can I export my data and switch?

You can use the available export functions and request a more extensive data export or provider switch. Image files that have already been lawfully deleted cannot be retrieved again. Scope, formats, deadlines and the support required are governed by sections B 9 and 11 of our terms. Statutory earlier termination and switching rights remain unaffected.

Your photo campaigns · managed by ADON Solutions

Plan new photoshoot enquiries
directly from the CRM.

You plan your photoshoot campaigns month by month directly in ADON FotoBusiness – in line with the scope of your marketing package. ADON Solutions creates, launches and manages the campaigns for you.

That way, the first enquiries can reach you within the first few days after launch.

Booked separately. Package price and ad budget are extra.

Your first ad campaign

Our 30-enquiry guarantee

30 qualified photoshoot enquiries. Our clear commitment.

For the first booked marketing campaign of our initial collaboration, we guarantee you at least 30 qualified photoshoot enquiries within 28 calendar days of the actual campaign launch, provided that your booked offer includes this guarantee. Later campaigns, renewals or package changes do not create a new guarantee.

Qualified means a genuine enquiry that matches the advertised campaign, comes from the agreed region and includes a name and reachable contact details. Existing clients can also count. Spam, tests, obviously false details and duplicate enquiries do not count. We guarantee enquiries, not appointments, bookings or revenue.

The guarantee applies to private photoshoots without a shoot or base fee and without any obligation to buy images, for example family, children’s, couple, portrait, pregnancy or pet photoshoots. Images can then be purchased voluntarily. Commercial assignments and event photography are excluded.

How we deliver the campaign together:

  • Your images: You provide 25–35 professional photos relevant to the theme in good time. We can agree on fewer images in text form. You secure the necessary usage rights and consents.
  • Our implementation: We develop the concept and advertising content and handle setup and campaign management. You approve the content and offer before publication. One consolidated revision round is included; statutory rights to remedy defects remain unaffected.
  • Your image prices: You set them yourself. Our recommendations are non-binding.
  • Your advertising budget: In addition to the offer price, you provide at least €20 of usable Meta daily budget, generally paid directly to Meta. This standard budget is agreed with the booking; no additional confirmation is required. It is not a fixed daily spending limit. Once the 30 qualified enquiries have been reached, you can request a budget change. Without a change request, the agreed budget remains in place.
  • Your cooperation: You provide information, access, feedback and approvals on time and handle enquiries yourself.

Documented actual interruptions can extend the measurement period under the guarantee conditions. A mere gap in cooperation does not automatically void the guarantee. ADON’s own errors are not held against you.

What happens if we do not reach 30 enquiries?

Depending on the offer you booked, your protection ranges from early termination of the contract to a full refund of the campaign price and onboarding:

  • With a marketing contract with an ongoing monthly fee, you can terminate the affected contract extraordinarily. We refund a separate onboarding fee actually paid in full. Without a separate onboarding fee, there is no corresponding refund amount.
  • With a one-off campaign booked with a money-back guarantee, we refund the campaign price actually paid and the separate onboarding fee actually paid in full. You can terminate a campaign contract that is still running with immediate effect at the same time.

You must claim the guarantee in text form within 14 calendar days after the end of the measurement period, for example by email to info@adonsolutions.de. If we provide the required evaluation later, the period only begins when you receive it. A termination takes effect when ADON receives it. The respective guarantee refund is made within 14 calendar days after the effective termination or receipt of the valid refund request.

Advertising budget already spent is not refunded under this guarantee. A separate FotoBusiness subscription remains unaffected. For ongoing marketing contracts, fees up to termination and legitimately incurred third-party charges are not refunded; package prepayments for later periods are refunded pro rata.

The full conditions are set out in Terms Part C, section 5, and in your agreed service description. The German version is authoritative. Statutory rights remain unaffected.
