Return Address Imprinting on Envelopes.
In last month's newsletter we introduced 5x7 folded greeting cards. We received a tremendous response and based on your feedback we're now offering return address imprinting on the envelope flaps. The cost is just $2.50/25 envelopes, an unbelievable bargain!
Update on “My Notes”
A few newsletters back we introduced “My Notes”. The first photographers to offer this unique product have received rave reviews! Joan Genest of Storytellers Photography in North Haven, CT, is using “My Notes” as a bonus to Seniors who reach a certain sales level.
“Everyone loves them. Moms and daughters are fighting over them. It’s nice to get people excited about sharing their photos with their friends and family. These notebooks are starting a buzz about our studio.”
“My Notes” are great for family portraiture as well and make great gifts for the holidays.
To receive a FREE sample of the small notebook, please respond to this email and type “Free Sample Notebook.” Be sure to include your mailing address.
