PROOF or PRE-PAY, IT'S
YOUR CHOICE...
CHOOSE FROM PORTRAIT PROGRAMS
CUSTOM DESIGNED WITH YOUR SCHOOL IN MIND! |
We are pleased
to offer daycares and preschools a choice of traditional Pre-Pay portraits as well as our exciting
new digital proof program which allows parents to view photos before ordering
them.
PRE-PAY (Single Pose)
PROOF (Multi-Pose)
Each program option has its own unique
merits, some of which are outlined below for your review and consideration. We
will be happy to discuss and further explain the different options available in
detail with you and help find which would be the best match for your particular
preschool or daycare photography needs - please ask us!

PROOF
(Multi-Pose) |
|
With this system that is growing in
popularity and favor with parents more each year, every child in the school
is photographed on picture day with a standard yearbook-friendly head &
shoulders pose, PLUS another different pose that parents may choose to order
also. Shortly following photo day, we return the school special individual
student order forms with TWO different small low-resolution proof pictures
on it per student, sorted by classroom. Teachers then distribute these proof
forms to all the individual students in their class who bring them home for
parents to review and return them to the class one week later with payment
and order selection's marked. Teachers gather all proof forms from every
student (whether they are buying portraits or not, ALL proofs MUST
be returned) and place them in a class order envelope and return it to the
school office. Once all teachers have turned in their classes proof order
forms, the school calls our studio to request a pick-up. We then sort, enter,
and process all package orders and final portraits are delivered back to the
school sorted by classroom for easy delivery a few weeks later and the school is provided a detailed accounting
report showing what was ordered and all monies collected. The
school is issued their commission check when final portraits are returned to
the school.
|
PROS:
 |
We take more than one pose of each
student - we do the traditional yearbook portrait and then another
different style pose that many parents prefer to order. |
 |
Parents love being able to preview the
actual images before ordering and often decide to order both poses. |
 |
Very highest order average of any of our
programs, which means more money collected and more commissions paid
to your school over the other program choices. |
|
CONS:
 |
Photography takes slightly longer per
class with an extra pose - usually 5-10 minutes extra per class.
|
 |
More time and labor intensive for school
staff as teachers track and collect all proof order forms back from
students by a deadline day and parents are often "forgetful" about
returning proofs and may require teachers to send multiple reminder
notices home. |
 |
Increased accounting tasks as school
office must be sure ALL proof order forms are returned whether parents
order or not and then collect and assemble all class order envelopes for
return. |
 |
Chance of order forms or money being
misplaced or stolen as there are usually large amounts of money collected
once proofs are returned to teachers and school office. Some schools are
uncomfortable being responsible for large amounts of cash in their care or
school building. |
 |
Final portraits take longer to come back
to the school than pre-pay orders due to the time required to collect
proof order forms back from parents before orders are placed with the lab. |
|
We look forward to
exploring your photography needs with you
and helping you plan your best photo
experience ever.
