cinq.

Recently I was asked to preview two new products from Color Inc Pro Lab – the Press Print Calendars and the Full Wrap Soft Cover Press Print Book from the Keepsakes Collection.

Since Buttons and Bows Photography is about to celebrate it’s fifth year in business this spring, I thought it would be the perfect time to put together a small retrospective.

From Color Inc: Check out our NEW Press Print Calendars and Keepsake Soft Cover Books! These Press Print Books and Calendars are a great addition to our Press Print Product line, both of which allow you to share your special memories of a wedding, vacation, or photographic portfolio with the flip of a page!

Press Printed Calendars are a great way to personalize a years worth of memories and provide a great way to spruce up any wall, refrigerator or door! Opening to a full 11×17, Press Printed Calendars offer plenty of room to jot down appointments, notes and reminders on 3 unique grid designs ranging from classic solid colors to bold and modern patterns. Printed on durable 110lb. card stock, Press Printed Calendars will easily withstand everyday use complete with acid-free paper to ensure the quality of your images for years to come.

Keepsake Soft Cover Books are a great new way to offer customizable photo books your customers are sure to love! With custom printed soft photo covers on the same 100lb archival paper found in the Keepsake Hard Cover collection, these beautiful, affordable books are perfect for parents and friends, or as handy brag books for sharing the joy of a newborn or family pet.




Review by Robyn: I’m always looking for the perfect client thank you gift or client “stocking stuffer”, and both of these fit the bill! The color and quality are excellent, and the size of the soft cover book is great for that little “something extra”. Here – see for yourself!

Client calendars are the perfect way to make sure your client thinks of you and your business every day. Just add your logo to the front and back cover (and even on each page inside!) and it’s a year-long gift full of their memories and your branding. I think the soft cover books would be particularly cute as a storybook for a toddler or young child session – it could be designed as “the story of you”, and its soft cover and price-point are both perfect for ending up in tiny little hands. They would also make nice brag albums as an add-on to identical hard cover albums.

And as luck would have it, if you place your Color Inc order today you might just get it for FREE! There’s one winner every hour! (Valid on orders placed from 2:00 pm EST 03/23/2011 until 2:00 pm EST 03/24/2011.)
