Another Photo Shoot - High-End Card Gallery Coming Soon

A few days ago, we held yet another photo shoot at the Collages.net studio. This shoot was focused on capturing the unique brilliance of our high-end cards. As each card had its turn in the spotlight, our photography professionals beautifully captured every card in our collection – which includes more than 100 styles.

The finished photographs truly illustrate each card’s fine art papers, exquisite design, and hand-mounted professional photographs. As you can see, we are very excited about this product, and we are sure that you are going to love our high-end cards too. The photographs taken at our recent photo shoot will soon be posted in our online high-end card gallery.

Our sample card albums are ready for ordering. For more information or to order, click here.

A Newsletter to Remember

Today we rolled out yet another collagesNewsletter. For quite a few years now, we have been sending monthly newsletters to our photographers, and each edition always contains an abundance of valuable information, reflective of that month’s growth and innovation. This past newsletter, however, was one to remember – indicative of months of around the clock deliberating, developing, and implementing, as we unveiled several all-new, exciting product lines – albums, high-end cards, press printed books, our full service pro photo lab, and gallery wraps.

In revealing these products, we were so focused on bringing you the highest quality, the best turnaround time, the most competitive pricing, and the easiest, most intuitive ordering systems, that we thought we’d save some of the work for you – naming our products! Also announced in our newsletter is our Product Names Contest. If your idea is chosen, you win that product – completely customized with the images of your choice. This contest is described more thoroughly in the newsletter, and the first round began a few days ago – with an e-mail to you.

If you would like more information on any of our products, please visit our products page, our newsletter, or do not hesitate to let us know. If you have suggestions, ideas, or feedback, as always, we would love to hear from you. And as we continue onward with our product lines, we promise that we will deliver nothing less than the best.

Name That Product…Coming Soon!













We at Collages.net have been working hard to get you the products you’ve been waiting for, and they’re finally almost here. There’s just one problem…they don’t have names yet!

We have decided to let you, our professional photographers, name our products this time because, let’s face it, our all-new product lines are all about YOU and their names should reflect that fact. From beautiful, hand-sewn, hardcover books to luxurious high-end greeting cards, our brand new product offering is unparalleled. Our survey gives you the opportunity to get a sneak preview of these fantastic innovations while you contribute first-hand to their creation, and, just to sweeten the deal, the photographers who suggest the winning names will receive a customized version of the product that they name.

Look for the first part of our “Name That Product” contest, coming early next week. Until then, check out our
products page to get a taste of what we now offer, including gallery wraps and albums. We will be anxiously awaiting the release of all of our new products, and hope that you are as excited about them as we are!

Customer Service Tip – Online Discounts

Today we have a post from one of Collages.net's Customer Service Representatives, Sharon Racine. Sharon offers insight into the advantages of offering special discounts on reprint orders placed on consumer sites.

For all of you collagesDesktop™ users out there – have you tried the discount option yet? By placing a small discount on orders over a specific dollar amount for a limited time, you create a sense of urgency in site visitors. This urgency provides an incentive for them to place larger orders sooner. These small discounts can also serve as deciding factors for folks who aren’t sure if they want to order, because who wants to miss out on a limited-time offer? Essentially, providing limited-time discounts can help you to score more reprint orders and more profit for your studio.
