Our background is youth sports photography.  We've learned what sells and doesn't sell by years of trial and error. We have found the 12" x 18" posters series to be single biggest action sellers in our business. We started out by offering posters in the more common 16" x 20" and  20" x 30" sizes to help advertise and sell our standard photos. They looked great -but to make a fair profit (after paying the lab bill) we priced ourselves beyond most of our customer's reach. Life would great if every action parent spent $69 and up - but we simply found by experience that there were less of these customers and more that would be interested in our work in the $29-$59 range. We set off to find totally new products that would meet their demands and still make us the profits we were seeking in action photography. Because we sought to offer something unique in design and size we commissioned Artistic Action to help make us a set of borders that we now offer our youth sports parents. We built a product line that is totally unique in shape, design, sizing  and display as it dominates our sales tent onsite.  What started out as an add-on product, we now feature our posters in our advetising and make them the lead (buy-in) product that we sell. We use our sample posters to pre-sell our "best" customers who "commission" us to shoot a poster of their player. We no longer have to shoot all players on speculation, instead we can save labor, time and proofs by only shooting those players who pre-purchase one of our designs. Since shooting this way our profits soared because we concentrate only on the pre-paid customers. By not shooting the entire field, we are able to get better pictures of just the selected athletes and make "mini portfolios" to offer them. Since adopting these sales techniques our action sales have increased and our profits have doubled. Our average sale has gone from $20 to over $50 per customer. We sell more prints and mini portfolio CD's than ever before because we have more (and better) pictures to offer the very parents who are most interested in them.  The truth is that the action posters we offer are now just a starting point rather than the final sale. We use the same templates that you can buy to help grab your parents' attention and draw them into your booth. Our poster designs are proven and now we can help you by offering to do the your printing .- you can simply send them to us for printing after they've been shot and sold at your event. We have taken an old marketing trick of buying 2 and giving1 free to our cutomers and watch as more than half choose to upgrade to purchase 3 posters!  We found that all the work, effort and expense goes into making the first  shot. We market our action and "locker poster" series to be shared- one for the school locker- one for home and one to be given away or displayed at dad's office.  Parents can see the value in having (3) action posters of their player and we make it easier for them to purchase by bundling them in 3's at a great price. We feel so strongly that our marketing will work for you that we will pass along the same deal we make to our parents...Buy 2 and get the 3rd for free! You'll be able to bundle your posters too in 3's and watch as your average sales ticket increases too. We print our posters on "real" photo paper. Our prints have the giant photo look and feel that parents can't get on their own. Our products are unique, customized by color and built with variable text fields to help increase our sales.  Our business model gives you the tools to call your products "posters" rather than "photos."  With the adition of our of magzine covers, trading cards, and unique locker posters we stand out beyond the other photographers who just market "photos". Let us help you build your sports business . After finding out too many hard ways to make money -we can provide you the same products that we found sell themselves. In doing so we make one commitment to you- we'll treat your customers as our own. In quality and service we'll partner with you to back your business as our own. Give us a try.
