| Earn Money Back with Collages.net Rewards! |
Collages.net's Rewards Program is now giving photographers money back, every month, for purchasing our best-in-class products! Additionally, Rewards Members receive an enhanced version of Collages.net's award-winning site - the Premium Website.
The rewards and benefits you receive depend on your monthly print product volume – the more products you purchase in one calendar month, the more your online service fee will decrease. Print product volume is based on print products - albums, press printed books, prints, high-end cards, and gallery wraps. On the 15th of each month, we will send you a check for the difference. To see the corresponding rates, view the chart listed below.

These features include a full screen webshow, which gives your customers the ability to see your images bigger than ever before, shared favorites folders, picture chat, additional music with playlists, and more!
The Premium Website for Collages.net Rewards Members will launch April 1, 2008. Check your e-mail throughout March for more details. For more information on Premium websites, click here. For more information on the Collages.net Rewards Program, click here.

| Make Proof Books from Your Event Sites |
 You can now post your images online, and create a proof book - all with one upload. Simply upload your images to an event site, and afterward, log in to our proof book ordering system. Choose our 8x11 option with six or nine images per page, and then easily order your proof book - without uploading your images again. Our proof books are available in our soft cover, perfect bound or hard cover hand-sewn styles.
We also are excited to announce that we are now offering press printed books with full-bleed pages! This new enhancement provides professional photographers with complete control over the design and customization of their press printed books. With this additional option, photographers have the opportunity to use Collages.net's press printed book collection for wedding albums, parent albums, and portrait albums.
We offer over 25 cover color choices and a variety of convenient sizes. The online order form is extremely user-friendly and is available to both PC and Mac users. To check out this new full-bleed page option, visit www.collages.net/books and place an order today!
