I am new to the business, but I like to donate to some charities. Lately, I started donating portrait packages for auctions and raffles. The charities end up with a profitable donation, in some cases more than the check I would have written. In the basket, I put a gift certificate for a session, a small photo album and a frame or two. I am going to use your gift wrapping idea to wrap my gift certificate.

The "gift" was nothing more then a well presented and personalized certificate for a free portrait session. We also included a discount coupon for them to use on their next visitAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17534827.post-70488120714549620232009-12-24T17:24:32.018-05:002009-12-24T17:24:32.018-05:00follow-up to my above comment:

It's a quick, painfree gift to pickup because it involves no more effort on the purchaser's behalf than any other gift would entail. The rest is up to the receiving person/family.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09634668832637227170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17534827.post-79638411195470759972009-12-24T17:18:05.237-05:002009-12-24T17:18:05.237-05:00Pretty similar to your idea: you could sell gift c...Pretty similar to your idea: you could sell gift certificates for e.g. a family portrait shoot. The purchaser pays up-front and gets one of these beautiful boxes that they can give to the family they intend it for. Inside it'll say something like 'good for one family portrait session and 1 print at whatever-by-whatever dimensions'. Then when the family comes in to get their shots, and subsequently proof them, you can upsell them on more shots.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09634668832637227170noreply@blogger.com
