Dear [contact_attribute:firstname]

Last week my laboratory exhibited our print products at the Florida Professional Photographers' Convention in Orlando.

The biggest "hit" in our booth...by far...were our models' comp cards.

We did a direct comparison of our double-sided comp cards...printed on Kodak photographic paper...to the laser-printed cards that are the current industry "standard."

To say that photographers were impressed would be an understatement.

The word we kept hearing from one pro after another was "Wow!"

Their excitement wasn't just because of our quality difference compared to laser copies.

Rather, it was because these pros immediately recognized a simple way that they could create a new profit center for their studios.

In this newsletter I'd like to give you an opportunity to use the best comp cards in the U.S.A. to grow your business.

 Offering Comp Cards Can Improve Your Portrait Business

Courtney Ortiz (courtneyortiz.com) uses our comp cards as an add-on to her portrait packages.

 

Courtney's specialty is shooting beautiful, on-location family portraits.

 

    Many of Courtney's families have children or teenagers who are aspiring models. So, comp cards are a natural addition to Courtney's services.

     

    The Scissors family wanted comp cards for their daughter, Avery.

    So, on Thursday morning Courtney visited our ROES site and accessed our Model's Head Shots & Comp Cards catalog to design Avery's card.

     

    Courtney's design time, using one of our templates, was a matter of minutes...and the family could see and approve an online proof of their card instantly.

     

    Courtney submitted her order online on Thursday. Her completed comp cards were ready on Friday morning. (Turn-around time would have been days waiting for an online proof from her traditional printer.)

    Courtney said that our cards' color consistency and quality was better than she'd ever had from her previous company...and the family was thrilled.

    What Courtney realized...as you should...is that you don't have to be shooting only fashion models to profit from comp cards and head shots. These products can bring in extra dollars for both portrait and event photographers and studios. They can also lead to lots of other professional shooting opportunities.
    We'll Help You Create A Profitable New Business!

    Comp cards have been around for years. Every model or want-to-be model needs them.

    So, the potential market is already in place. The key to success is bringing something new that you can offer to prospective models.

    Our comp cards are very much like Apple's iPad. The iPad's superior performance and features made all other computer tablets irrelevant.

    Revolutionary Quality. Online Simplicity.

    Our comp cards are printed on quality Kodak Endura photographic paper...not
    dull-looking laser-printed card stock.

    With this quality difference you can clearly differentiate your studio and make easy sales.

    Give us 10 minutes and 10 bucks. We'll give you a turn-key business!

    You can't sell a card you can't show. So, here's what we'll do to get you started:

    We'll print ten (10) sample model comp cards, designed by you from your own photographs, for just $10.

    But wait...there's more! If you want to offer head shots request a sample kit of 11 - 8" x 10" Head Shots (our pictures) so that you can show your clients our various styles.
