How To Promote Your  Services On Every Print
Greetings!,

Late 19th Century, Australia

There are a lot of old-time marketing ideas that still work. The fact is, technology changes but people don't.

Back in the 1890's portrait photographers included their name and studio's address on their printed photographs. It was great advertising for repeat and new business.

Putting photo credits on every print was a good idea then. It's an even better idea now.

Why? Yesterday's street address is today's web site ... and your site is designed to make sales.

New For 2015 - We've added a free text option on our proofs to make it easier for you to get your name "out there" to prospective clients.

You can use either or both of our two text fields to key in any information you want. Include your studio name, your web site or the name of the event.

We've done all the design work for you. Just add text. Then, select your font & type color. Our enhanced type option is free.

Adding text will connect your photography and contact information for anyone ... including clients and their friends & families. Every print is an advertisement for you.





If you don't want text just skip typing in your info. You'll still get beautiful, professional proofs at a great price.


Why Make Proofs?

The trend today is to post pictures online. In theory, that's fine.
 But, proofs have lasting value, where online postings do not.
  • Proofs Offer A Greater Perceived Value
    • Your competitors are offering a client a low or medium resolution DVD. You are giving them hundreds of beautiful prints. Which would have more value to you if you were the client?
  • People Like Prints They Can Hold In Their Hands
    • Most folks can't visualize how a screen image will print as an enlargement. Proofs take the mystery out of that, promoting more profitable enlarging and album orders.
  • Bargain Prices - Our 4" x 6" Economy Proofs (Uncorrected) on Kodak Premier Lustre paper are only 19¢ each. Even if sold to your client with a minimal mark-up they offer an outstanding value.
  • Prints Will Be Shared With Dozens of Future Prospects
    • Facebook is great but temporary. Images get buried in the Timeline.

    • Prints are permanent. They will be shown, saved and given as gifts to family members & friends. So, you'll have hundreds of ad "messages" going to people who will have events of their own.


The Bottom Line - Proofs with text will differentiate you from the competition and bring you future business.
