long time coming! Whew! I’m so sick of jewel cases I could SCREAM! My clients deserve so much better than that! I would attend WPPI and see beautiful packaging but when I was in college and trying to plan my own wedding… there was no time to figure out custom packaging that perfectly matched “my brand”. I’m actually kicking myself for not getting this done sooner because Professional Photographer magazine just did an article about my branding and I didn’t have my stuff together!! UGH! Come on Katelyn! If I had gotten my stuff together just a few months earlier, I could have sent them my new packaging that I LOVE!
Thanks to H-B Photo, I now have custom designed DVD cases to mail to my wedding clients, along with a thank you note and a little To & From tag on the front! (The To & From tag was definitely not necessary but it adds so much!). Engagement sessions receive the same treatment, just without the bow!:) I’m thrilled with WHCC’s ornate boutique cards and I’m so excited to package up Chase and Sharon’s wedding from last weekend! Custom packaging is a little pricy, however, when you consider the investment the client is making, a little packaging cost is nothing. If you’re a photographer, I would encourage you to get creative with your DVD presentation. I was boring for WAY too long. My clients deserve more and I really needed to start representing my brand in a more cohesive way! So thanks WHCC and B-H Photo from making my DVD’s look amazing!! Also thanks to my nice UPS and who delivers all of these wonderful little packages that make me happy! I seriously put those guys to work the last few weeks! Enjoy your weekend and pray for me! I’ve got my first double wedding weekend this year! Woohoo!
Did I order custom stamps? Yes, yes I did. They are totally unnecessary but I love them!
Thanks for reading!
