Friday 27. July 2012 - CG Pro Prints Helps Pro Photographers & Artists Increase their Profits by Providing Wholesale Pricing and High-Quality Canvas Printing Services

CG Pro Prints, a division of Circle Graphics, the world’s largest producer of large-format digital graphics, announced today the winners of the “Canvas Success Strategies” Facebook Contest. Scores of entries were submitted by professional photographers and artists leveraging CG Pro Prints’ breakthrough quality and value to win new clients, sell more prints, and enhance their reputation in their community. CG Pro Prints offers very affordable wholesale services for professional photographers and artists to print their original work, with prices starting at only $12.99 for a 10×10 canvas.
The CG Pro Prints Contest ran on Facebook from July 5-July 11, 2012, with prizes of up to $250 for free canvas wraps awarded for the most creative ideas on how to take advantage of CG Pro Prints’ value for professional photographers to increase their bottom line and/or reach more clients. Contestants were asked: Are you bundling canvas with your photo shoots? Displaying the canvas in your studio? Offering groupings? Partnering with the local coffee shop to display and sell your prints? Share your success strategy and inspire your colleagues!
Three Successful Ways to Increase Sales for Professional Photographers & Artists:
1. Print ’em! – just order the canvas:
At only $22.99 for a 16×20 premium quality Canvas Gallery Wrap through CG Pro Prints, photographers are able to sell canvases to every client. First Place Contest Winner, Danielle Mavrick said, “I’ve found that an amazing way to sell (and only possible through CG Pro Prints because of pricing) is to just order the canvas! I’ll ask the client which image is her favorite, then print it. Sometimes as a 16×20 or maybe even two 11x14s. Once I show it to them (and tell them I’ve ordered it as a sample), they always want it. Works perfectly!”
2. Build from the Bricks You Have – offer to print photos on canvas from a past session:
Second Place Contest Winner Janine Thurston fills in sales lulls by emailing clients with special offers to print photos from past sessions on canvas. “Adding a couple thousand in canvas print sales during a slower period has allowed us to keep a very even stream of cash-flow, and clients have LOVED them,” said Thurston.
3. Wedding Day Gift – gift a canvas to the bride & groom:
Another successful strategy is to gift a canvas to the bride and groom from the wedding shoot to display at the wedding reception. “All of the guests at the reception will see the beautiful canvas sitting on the gift table, which will generate buzz about your business,” said CG Pro Prints’ Contest Third Place Winner Benjamin L. Corey.
“CG Pro Prints is proud to be able to offer our world-class service to photographers to help them build their businesses,” said Evan Brooks, VP New Business Development, CG Pro Prints. “With the low wholesale prices CG Pro Prints offers, professional photographers are finding countless ways to pass on great value to their clients and add to their bottom line.”
