button think pink

It’s no big secret what keeps y’all coming back for more… The guest posts with the pretty, pretty packaging! And as luck would have it, that’s just what I’m about to serve up… Prepare to be blown away by the gorgeous stylings of courtney jade photography!

What would cake be without the icing? Well, it would still be quite delicious, however it wouldn’t be quite as beautiful. The details are so important to me, and beautiful photos deserve beautiful packaging. From the luscious chocolate brown boxes, to the pop of the pink ribbon, nothing goes un-prettied! I’ve recently updated and upgraded my packaging, and so far everyone has loved it!

First of all, I’ve switched from putting my digital images on CDs and DVDs, and now clients will get their images on a USB Flash drive. I’ve decided to do this for a few reasons. 1) Most importantly, the images will be safer for a longer period of time. As time goes by, DVDs and CDs can lose data due to deterioration. 2) USB Drives can be re-used, recycled. If a client prefers, they can back up their USB Drive, and use it for other things. 3) They look nicer. It may be my personal preference, but USB Drives are compact, sleek, and sexy! Here’s a peek at what you’ll get when you purchase digital images from me.

Print orders will come in luscious chocolate boxes adorn with pretty pink bows!

Inside, your precious prints are wrapped in matching pink tissue! All prints are packaged in clear plastic bags inside for protection and easy handling.

Another new thing I am doing for clients is creating “referral cards”. This is a complimentary gift with any print order. Most of my clients are referrals, so what better way to get my name out there, than to give my clients miniature photos from their session with my contact information on it?! Everyone loves a wallet-sized photo to hand out to friends and family, so far my clients love this!!

I’ve also been working on updating all of my client materials. I’m not quite finished yet, but I have a feeling that in this field, there will always be more that I want to create! Here is a taste of materials that I’ve had printed to hand out to my clients and possible clients.

There are still more fabulous materials on the way, but for now I feel like my brand is established, and will only grow from here.

I am so excited to be able to be a guest on Paperie Boutique! I love this blog, and I look to it for inspiration and ideas on a very regular basis. Robyn has been an inspiration to me for years now, and I am so excited to see this blog blossom and grow! Thank you Robyn, and thanks to everyone who reads and participates in this community!

    I love these! Hot pink is my signature colour too. I particularly love the print boxes, gorgeous.

    Thank you for sharing Courtney! I was wondering if you would mind sharing where you purchase your items like boxes, stickers, referral cards, client materials and Thank you cards.

    I love the colors and the idea of putting the images on a thumb drive. Great post!

    Thank you everyone! :)
    Kelly- all of my printed materials- postcards, price list, client forms, etc are printed through mediamothership.com
    The stickers are through Print Runner, although my experience with them left MUCH to be desired…
    The tissue is from the Associated Bag Company, and the boxes are from DNL. I order the referral cards through WHCC along with the print orders :) oh, and the bags I put my prints in are from clearbags.com.

    I’m so glad you all like them! Your feedback means a lot to me! Originally I wasn’t meaning for there to be sooo much hot pink, but it kind of turned out that way. Luckily so far no one’s complaining! :)

    Your packaging is just gorgeous! Am I correct in assuming then that since you are using WHCC instead of MOO, that all of the cards you order are the same. Do you give them 50 referral cards per order then?
