Welcome to Collages.net

www.col lages.net | (877) 638-7468 | customerservice@col lages.net

For over a decade, I have spent my life immersed in the

professional photography industry. As the founding

CEO, I spend my days and nights thinking about how

Collages.net can help the industry and how we can

create new services and products that make studios

more efficient and profitable. As a team, Collages.net

holds frequent company exercises that allow all

employees to build dream products and services for you.

We believe that these exercises and your feedback

represent the cornerstones of our decade−long success.

Because of you, this catalog looks much different than

last year’s version. It is loaded with marketing tips from

many of you who successfully position our products.

The best part – at Collages.net, we all love coming to work every day. We get excited when we hear your

excitement about one of our products that you just

received or about a time−saving workflow improvement

that we helped you implement.

Simply stated, this industry is our passion.

Please continue to pass your visions and ideas to your

workflow consultant, a customer service representative,

or feel free to e−mail me at [email protected].

Thank you again for your business.

Warm Regards,

Design Services Design

Collages.net offers an elegant, yet reasonably priced album and book design service for professional photographers. We understand that today’s studios are constantly looking for ways to save time and find good values. Outsourcing design saves time and money and gives you more time to spend on revenue generating activities: marketing your studio and shooting.

Each Collages.net Album and Book Design is unique. Collages.net's Design Team is dedicated to providing a personalized design that mimics your studio’s design style.

Collages.net event site favorite folders and PictureChat make ordering album and book designs simple. Each online event site you upload contains favorite folders, allowing clients to choose and e-mail their favorite images from the site to be used in their design.

Once you receive your client's favorite image choices, locate the high resolution copies on your computer. When you're ready to place your design order, send your client's favorite images to Collages.net's Designers, who will create the design in the style of your choice.

After the design is complete, Collages.net will post the spreads to a Collages.net Premium Website with full screen display. Once the initial design is posted, you and your client can communicate via PictureChat regarding design revisions. Once you are satisfied with the design, you approve, we build, and then ship the album or book to you or directly to your client. Following your final approval, albums are shipped in two weeks or less. Ordering albums has never been easier or faster with Collages.net.

This style reflects a taste that is timeless and classic. The look of the design is similar to a matted album with solid color black or white pages with the focus on the image itself. This traditional look fits the style of today’s bride who appreciates simplicity and sentiment.

Use Press Printed Cards to Build Your Business

Our press printed cards are affordably priced with quantities as low as 25 and include envelopes. Choose from four paper stocks: standard, watercolor, linen, or pearl. Also add UV coating to the standard paper for added protection and a high gloss look.

Use Collages.net’s Press Printed Cards for baby announcements, high school senior graduation announcements, wedding invitations, thank you cards, holiday greeting cards, and stationery for your studio and your clients.

Many successful photographers sell cards at a lower markup than usual with the goal of selling cards with as many sessions and events as possible. When a studio’s logo and contact information are tastefully displayed on the back of each card, this product turns into a marketing tool.

Design a beautiful first anniversary card from your studio to your wedding clients. Send the card so it arrives a day or two before the couple’s first wedding anniversary. This is an inexpensive way to remind past clients about your services. Whether they recommend your studio to an engaged friend or have you photograph their maternity session, this low cost marketing strategy can have a high return.

Display your images as masterpieces. Gallery wraps are

beautiful, artist-grade canvas prints treated with a

protective coating and wrapped on a 1½-inch wooden

stretcher. The image itself either continues along the

gallery wrap’s edges, or you can have a solid color

border added to the sides. Gallery wraps are typically

hung unframed and add a handsome touch to any

room.

The following benefits are included in the price of our gallery wraps:

Each gallery wrap is printed at exceptional quality color standards and finished with a protective spray.

Hanging hardware is included with each gallery wrap for sturdy, easy hanging.

Build Your BrandCollages.net is committed to providing you with the marketing tools and knowledge you need to build your studio’s business. Our marketing strategies have been developed by studying the techniques of the most profitable studios across the United States for over a decade.

There are countless ways to use Collages.net products to promote your studio’s brand. Your studio’s product line can be one of your most valuable marketing tools. Taking great images is step one. The next step is displaying those images in products that show off your studio’s style and generate revenue.

Use these tips to allow your studio’s exposure – and your profits – to grow.

Maximize Your Products

Upload your studio logo to Collages.net at www.collages.net/logos. We prominently post your studio’s logo at the top left corner of each of your event sites. Your studio logo is also included in every event notification e-mail sent to event guests in order to remind them of the studio behind their images.

Studio Logos

Collages.net helps studios increase their online presence by providing ways to connect social networks with Collages.net event sites. On every event site, instructions are available for linking the event site to a Facebook, MySpace, blog, or website page at no cost to your studio or your clients. Encourage all of your clients, especially your seniors, to link their Collages.net site to their social networking site. It is not uncommon for sites linked to Facebook to enjoy several hundred visits. You can’t purchase better advertising for your studio!

Social Networking

Upload every event or portrait session you photograph to a Full Service Collages.net Event Site. Use online posting as a way to expose your images to a broader audience. With Full Service, online orders are fulfilled automatically for your clients and their guests.

Use event cards to generate excitement about upcoming event sites and introduce your studio to potential clients.

Include studio embossing on every album order. Studio embossing enables you to promote your studio’s brand to anyone who views your clients’ finished albums.

Include high gloss finish books with your high-end packages as economical and revenue-boosting parent albums.

Add studio logo imprinting to every card order you purchase. When clients send cards to their friends and family, they’ll know who to contact for their holiday portraits.
