Market Your Studio  
How to generate more revenue from your 2008 wedding clients
You’ve booked your 2008 brides, now how can you maximize your earnings? Impress your clients with innovative add-ons such as wedding guest books, filled with engagement pictures and room for guest signing; elegant cards perfect for save-the-dates, rehearsal dinner invitations, bridal shower invitations, and more; and large-scale prints which can be utilized for reception display prints and parents gifts. Find out how your studio can profit from products your clients will love.

Albums, Guest Books
Impress your clients with a beautiful wedding guest book, with images from their engagement shoot on the left side and faded parchment paper on the right for guest signing. We offer several customizable options - including numerous color choices and embossing.

Collages.net's guest book collection is part of our album line, which features excellent lay-flat properties and a minimal page seam. See Samples.

Reception Display Prints, Parent Gifts
Start thinking big and your clients will too. Choose your client's best engagement shot and print it with a metallic finish to display at their wedding. Not only will your clients love it, but you will be increasing your exposure, as all of the wedding guests will see and enjoy your work. This is an effective way to increase post-event orders. See Samples.

Save-the-Dates, Rehearsal Dinner Invites

Collages.net's high-end cards are perfect for save-the-dates, rehearsal dinner invitations, and bridal shower invitations. They are available in a variety of styles with images printed on photographic paper and mounted on high-quality fine art papers. Include samples in your studio display for your brides to see. See Samples.


Event Galleries - and the all-new Premium Website
Include an event site with your wedding packages. Your clients will love seeing a webshow of their images complemented by the most beautiful online presentation in the industry. Also, enable your clients to order images directly from the site.

With Collages.net, you can also feature Premium Websites, which includes a full screen webshow, picture chat, playlists, and more. To find out more about how your studio can offer this and to see a sample Premium Website, visit www.collages.net/premium.
Power Marketing E-mail of the Month
This month’s Power Marketing E-mail Award goes to Pete and Liliana Wright of PW Photography, who held a pet portrait-taking event to benefit their local animal league. Within two days of sending out the e-mail, they booked every available appointment and filled their waiting list. Not only has everyone who attended made purchases already, but most of them are scheduling follow-up family portrait sessions with the coupon that Pete and Liliana gave as part of the goodie bag they handed out. They donated over 600 pounds of dog food and much more to the animal league. Read the power marketing e-mail that created such success.
