4x6 and 5x7 are my best sellers... I wanted to remove 4x6 from the site, as they really look bad compared to the 5x7 when side-by-side (So small), but the demand is there, so they will remain!

Consider that 5x7 albums are a lot less common compared to 4x6. Last time I went looking for a 5x7 album each store had 10 or 20 4x6 albums for every 1 5x7.

Scrapbooking is the main reason from what I can tell. So many families are using the smaller prints for scrapbooking rather than hanging an 8x10 glossy on the wall.

My percent profit on a 4x6 is great and I have no problem filling an order of 20 -4x6's rather than a couple 8x10's.

I've found that usually it's the stuff that I hate shooting that sells the most.
Team, posed, li'l Timmy with his trophy pics.
Doesn't matter whether it's parents or editors, it's always "did you get the presentation?" or "where's the team shot?"
Give me some pain or passion any day.
Size wise, I try to push 'em as large as possible. Up to 30x40 if I can ;)

There has been a great response. Thanks to everyone. I noticed that there was not a lot mentioned about CD's. I know there are other threads about it, just interesting that it didn't come much on this topic.

Possibly because in your OP you asked what print size sells the best?
