Drew Frank of Meadow Lane Photography shares how his studio is successfully incorporating Collages.net's new products into its offerings and how pleased he is with the results.

High Quality Products

"I can’t tell you how happy I have been with all of Collages.net’s new products. Not only have they been well-received by me - my customers absolutely love them. I had one bride with whom I recently interviewed, and she couldn’t take her eyes off of the hand-sewn proof book. Her mother-in-law to-be excitedly grabbed it out of her hands, and then someone else grasped it… I almost had to stop the interview so they could salivate over Collages.net’s products.

Partnering with Collages.net has been incredible; they offer the highest quality products, and they deliver more than they promise. I had a bride who was leaving for the military two weeks after her wedding, and her parents wanted to give her a surprise wedding album before she left. They called me with this special need, wondering if there was any way it could be done. I was able to put the spreads together, and Collages.net, of course, was able to deliver. It was amazing. For me to be able to say “yes” to that family was huge. Consequently, almost within a day of seeing the flush mount album, I had already received a referral from one of their family members. Because of Collages.net, I was able to help a family with a special need and also build my business.

I have also found tremendous success in studio samples – I keep one wedding proof book and one senior proof book in my studio. Everyone that has seen these books has absolutely loved them. They give a beautiful, high-end presentation, which is becoming huge at my studio. Studio samples are extremely valuable; trying to describe a product is one thing, but when a client can actually put their hands on it, see and feel the quality, and flip through the pages at their own pace, the product speaks for itself. I always have brides saying “Can I get that with my wedding?”

The gallery wrapped canvas prints are awesome – the quality, price and delivery are remarkable. I have four or five hanging in my studio, and they are the very first thing that people comment on. I have brides clearing more wall space just so they can order more. Gallery wraps have been a huge addition to my studio. Furthermore, they were very easy to order, and the lab technicians are awesome – very helpful and dedicated to producing a perfect print.

Another aspect of all of these new products that has elevated my studio is being able to go back to my old customers and show them my new products. Old customers and new customers are all very excited. All of the brides are awed by the canvas prints and simply love the hand-sewn proof books. I just ordered my sample high-end card album, and I already have clients inquiring about save the dates and thank you cards.

The online modules are very easy to use, the quality is the best, and the turnaround time is incredible; however, what has impressed me most about Collages.net is their constant commitment to quality, delivery, and customer support. Collages.net's product solution provides me with a streamlined workflow and makes me look great to my customers. Everything they say they will deliver, they do, and everything is of the utmost quality – I am just so amazed. It’s almost like I am dealing with a company that has been doing this for years and years. I just can’t get beyond how impressive it is."
