We love Accordion Books. No matter what kind of photography you shoot, this fun and versatile photo-sharing product can work for you. Why exactly do we love them so? Let us count the ways…

• Like an album but easier to design – just a front and back panoramic layout
• Ability to include multiple images from a session
• Variety of uses suitable for all types of photography

Add an Accordion Book to existing packages or use as a thank you gift to clients. Whichever way you choose to use it, there is no doubt it will be loved. What are the most popular ways to use the Accordion Book? We’re glad you asked.

• Senior rep programs – Give your senior reps a cool, easy-to-carry-and-share book featuring a number of your best images. Seniors fall in love with this unique product, making it easy for them to sell their friends on it.
• Children and family sessions – Families go gaga over this alternative to an album. It’s affordable and avoids making them choose between only a few images to share. Sell to parents as a keepsake and as a gift for grandparents and other family members.
• Weddings – Use in a plethora of ways for the bride and groom. Give as a client gift for purchasing at a certain level or sell as a carry-and-share book in addition to an upscale album.
• Boudoir sessions – A great way to package these intimate photos. Design one side as a centerfold featuring one large image in all its glory, then design the flip side with several smaller images, giving you the best of several worlds.

Personalize your Accordion Books with a number of different options, including our linen and pearl press papers and a custom image satin or metallic cover. What’s another way to get more from this product? Add an image to the book’s inside flap. Plus, find a number of chic templates on Miller’s Design Market to make your job a little easier.

Here comes the bride… and groom! Wedding season is in full swing. Make sure you have all the products needed in your arsenal to make this a successful season. Add the below products to upgrade existing packages or use select items as gifts to add a special touch to each client experience.

DVD Cases – If you sell the rights to your digital files, a custom DVD case is the professional way to deliver your images. Design the exterior of the case and chose from the single or double-sided option to create yet another keepsake for your couple to treasure. Add high-quality Custom Printed DVD/CD to carry your vision through.

Luxe Card Invitations – Give clients an elegant invitation option that will stand out above the rest. Luxe Cards come as flat and folded in a number of shapes and sizes to ensure clients have ample choices to meet their style and needs.

Custom Image Boxes – Use this classy product in a number of ways. Sell the Custom Image Box as a contemporary choice to an album or sell it as a proof box. You may also get a CD holder on 5×7 boxes if you sell the digital files for an elegant way to present their images and prints in one package.

Luxe Frames – Use as a surprise gift or as a package addition. A black, white or espresso Luxe Frame, with its ornate details and whimsical aura, exudes that magical feeling you hope every client gets on their wedding day. Plus, the print and mount is included.

Layflat Books – A modern alternative to an album, Layflat Books also make a great client gift. Build the price of the book into your session fee to ensure every client walks away with images in hand. Another fun idea is to design the book as a wedding guest book using clients’ engagement images.

Spring is in the air, flowers are in bloom and your spring sessions have begun. It’s a time when clients are looking for a fresh new look for their appearance, their wardrobe, their home. Take advantage of spring fever with a little revamping of your own.

Professional photographers Breanne Schaap, Dale Benfield and Laura Winslow share their favorite, trendiest styling tricks for spring.

Bree’s Styling Trick: Unexpected Genre and Color Pairings

“I love to pair together trendy elements with classic genre’s. I am drawn toward unexpected color mixtures, it’s my signature touch. For this photo shoot I decided to marry my two favorite styles: classic prep + modern flair. I have this little guy wearing a classic school boy blazer and tie with pops of color in his tangerine shorts and bright green gazelle tennis shoes (mixing bright pops of color is so hot this spring). This combination keeps things classic and familiar with a modern twist. I love to collaborate with my clients’ clothing style and always opt for a pop of color because that’s what I love to work with the most.”

Dale’s Styling Trick: Let the Sun Be Your Boss

“When we schedule shoots in the spring, we want to get that yummy golden light, so we let the sunset times dictate our shoot. Our sessions usually last about 90 minutes, so if the sun sets at 7:30 pm, we start at 6 pm. Unfortunately, that only lets us shoot one session per day in the perfectly wonderful light, but when you’re a wedding photographer, that’s enough! If you’re a portrait photographer, you could add a sunrise shoot time. Then plan your quicker shoots for the early slot, as sunrises go a lot faster than sunsets. It has almost become a signature Benfield Photography look to have delicious golden light in our photos, and we like it that way!”

Laura’s Styling Trick: Color, The Perfect Spring Accent

“Don’t be afraid to use color to accentuate the gorgeous shades of spring! Adding in color is easy and achievable in a multitude of ways, from patterns on a dress to funky ties, hair accessories and breezy scarves. My favorite way to add pops of color to spring sessions is by far the easiest: I love to use the greenery or flowers naturally found at our outdoor locations. Place a flower behind mom’s ear, create a crown of daisies, have a teen hold a bunch of wildflowers or place a giggling child in a sea of blooms and shoot down on them. The possibilities are endless when you use your imagination and the beauty of nature, which can add gorgeous color and a natural, organic feel to your already rockin’ sessions!”

Spring is in the air, flowers are in bloom and your spring sessions have begun. It’s a time when clients are looking for a fresh new look for their appearance, their wardrobe, their home. Take advantage of spring fever with a little revamping of your own.

Professional photographers Breanne Schaap, Dale Benfield and Laura Winslow share their favorite, most successful product tips for spring.

Bree’s Product Pick: Accordion Mini

“I like to surprise my clients. One week after our session, I have MpixPro send my clients a little package in the mail with a sweet Accordion Mini hidden inside. The experience of getting a gift in the mail when you least expect it is the perfect gesture. It gets my clients excited to place their orders and the Accordion Mini quickly turns into a ‘brag book’ that they take with them everywhere. At just the right size, it is the perfect teaser gift for my clients.”

Dale’s Product Pick: Gallery Wrap

“All year round, we sell Gallery Wraps like they’re going out of style (but they never do!). They are my favorite product, and my clients love seeing their image on the high-quality wrap. It sets me up for success because it portrays my art as… well… ART!”

Laura’s Product Pick: Print Wrap

“I love print wraps on metallic paper so much and find them to be a modern and sleek offering for my clients. They show off the colors and emotion of my images in a unique and whimsical way. The quality is amazing and the way it stands off of the wall is so intriguing to my clients.”

Incorporate one of the above products into your spring sessions and make it your own to increase sales and to give clients another reason to get excited about your photography. To find your perfect product mix for the season, view the catalog and let your creativity go!

When’s the last time you stopped to evaluate your studio offerings? Are you passionate about the products you sell to clients? Giving attention to the products you carry or perhaps reinventing the products you already use is an important aspect of business that too often gets put on the back burner. Need some suggestions? We’re here to help.

Deidre Lynn, wedding photographer based in Peoria, Illinois, and star of our most recent ad, shares with us her favorite MpixPro products to save you time and help you sell more. Deidre truly loves weddings but her second photo-related love is landscape photography. Her other worldly loves include a fantastic husband, three kiddos (of the cat variety) and popcorn. Now, let the creative juices flow…

Framed Prints – A classic favorite. Upsell an individual print or use for special pieces of work, and get everything from the print to the frame in one place.

“I can’t say enough good things about the framing options offered. I mainly use framed prints as gifts and for my fine art print work (travel, landscapes, etc.),” Deidre says. “The quality is amazing and saves me a trip and the expense of going to a custom framing shop.”

Custom Printed DVD’s – Great for branding and saves you the time and a hassle of trying to create your own labels.

“These are my ‘most purchased item,’ as all of my clients who purchase ownership of their files receive a printed disc. These little gems look lovely in a clear case and are of excellent quality,” Deidre says.

Print Wraps – Give clients a contemporary, gallery-quality way to feature their favorite images, or do the same within your own studio. Once a client sees one on your wall, they’ll be sold.

“Everyone needs to fill their walls with these babies. They are beautiful! I love the soft beveled edge and unique gallery quality these offer,” Deidre says.

Layflat Books – Another way to upsell a current package, Deidre says:

“I offer these beautiful books mainly as guest books to my couples. The 10×10 or 12×8 size is perfect for most weddings and the quality is phenomenal. Such wonderful keepsakes!”

What a great time we had in Las Vegas for WPPI. Because of you, our second show of the  convention season was a huge success. Did you enjoy WPPI as well? We relish the chance to meet and get feedback from our customers and want to thank you for stopping by our booth. We know there was a lot to see and do at the show, though, so here’s a photo recap of the three day event in case you missed anything.

Luxe Frames, which are coming soon, made their debut, as well as a new overall look and feel for the booth itself. We received great positive feedback on both. Plus, our speaker team rocked the stage and drew large crowds with their informative talks.

Visitors also took time to touch and feel our papers and all the products on display. As we hear over and over again, this is one of the best things about going to a tradeshow like WPPI – the chance to interact with products you’ve never had the chance to see in person.

Overall this was a great show full of wonderful people and we’re so glad we had the chance to meet those that came. Have yet to sign up for an account?
