2017 Holiday Guide for Photographers
See Our Top 6 Client Gifts for Under $26!
’Tis the season to show appreciation!
Your clients are the reason you get to do what you love for a living. Show them your gratitude and let them know how much you value them! Gifts are an investment in relationships with your ideal clients. Even a small gift makes a big impact in building a strong foundation for a relationship-based business.
Choosing gifts for your clients
As a photographer, you have the ability to offer a highly personalized gift with your clients’ images. Give them a gift that they can’t purchase in any of your packages or easily find elsewhere. Surprise them with something they haven’t seen before, but make sure the gift still speaks your brand.
Client gifts are a great opportunity to test out a new product you’re thinking about offering. If it goes over well, you can consider adding it to your product collections or a la carte options. Or it might just become your annual holiday gift that brings your clients back for a new session each year!

Small Metal Prints
$19 for 5x7" or 6x6" Metal Print with easel back

A small metal print with an easel back makes a striking visual for the home or office. They beautifully enhance classic black and whites along with vividly displaying bright, dramatic colors. Metal Prints are lightweight and slim, making them a modern alternative to a framed photo print.
