PARENT ALBUMS: Finao has your answer!

Mom Heart Tattoo

Many of you can say that you have had no bigger fans in your life than your parents (even though sometimes they show it by embarrassing you in front of all your peers LOL).  How many people in your life can you think of that would be beaming with joy to pass around photos of your milestones to friends and strangers alike?  Not many is my guess; but parents, that’s a different story!

From a photographer/business-owner point of view, these proud parents make fantastic marketers for your brand!  And what new bride or new mother wouldn’t want to provide their own parents with the gift of sharing in their most special moments?  Parent books are key, and being able to offer an affordable parent book option that doesn’t compromise quality will put you heads above the rest.

The Finao playBOOK is the perfect parent album solution!  Press printed books have been the standard on the market for too long.  Now you can offer a higher quality book photographic album with a much more substantial feel for prices that would shock you!  The playBOOK is priced* the same as or less than most lesser quality press books on the market!

*Finao strictly services professionals in the industry and you must have a valid account in order to view pricing information.

The playBOOK features real photographic prints, just like the flush mount ONE which would typically act as your main album.

The same high quality, professional prints your clients expect in their main album are also in the parent albums, rather than lesser quality press prints which have inherent limitations to color and clarity. Also, unlike the fast delivery books on the market that are not coated, we take the time to coat your prints and ensure that your getting the quality that best represents your brand.

The playBOOK also beats the other books with it’s cover options!  Gone are the days of “photo cover only”.  People want choice, and parents and grandparents would love to display a beautiful fabric bound book on their coffee tables. By offering the largest array of gorgeous silks and linens, fine woven fabrics, faux leathers and tantalizing textures you are able to offer parent albums that coordinate with your client’s main album.  Coordinating or complimentary colors and textures will add that extra polish and sophistication to your packages. (and speaking of fabrics….watch for a special announcement soon! ;)  Of course, photo wrap covers are also available, and at no additional cost!

Comparison: Finao Metal Album Covers

Erotika Metal Cover by Finao Albums.

Finao’s endless material and cover design options allow you to create totally unique and custom looks for each client.  We seek out anything that’s different, edgy, fashion forward and modern so that you can present your clients with the most stylish choices in the industry.  With so many choices, I am often asked to compare the differences between some of our offerings, most commonly, the metal upgrade options offered for the Finao ONE and artONE flush mount albums.

We absolutely love the look of metal, and offer three different metal cover options for your Finao ONE and artONE flush mount albums: Bullet, Armour and Erotika.  Let’s take a look at what makes each of them unique; a little comparison and contrast, if you will….

Photo depicting the three metal upgrade optoins offered with the Finao ONE and artONE flush mount albums. Bullet: a plain brushed metal cover, Armour: a laminated metallic print on metal base, and Erotika: laid ink on metal where highlights are dropped and metal shows through.

Finao offers 3 distinct metal cover options for the flush mount ONE and artONE album lines.

Bullet: Simple and sleek, this brushed metal front cover panel is accompanied by your choice of leather.  This is a plain cover with no printed image, however, etching is available in a selection of fonts that can be viewed here.  Bullet is available on flush mount ONE and artONE books sized 8×10 and larger.

Armour: A printed metallic emulsion mounted to a thick metal base and then coated for protection from scratches and added durability.  The metals in the print give your photo a very fine shimmer that just adds beauty to this stunning cover option.  Since this is an image cover, any text or personalization that you may want to include can be designed directly into your cover image.  Armour is available on flush mount ONE and artONE books sized 8×10 and larger.  Free sizing templates are available at www.finao.com.

Erotika: Your custom cover image is laid onto a brushed metal base-cover using inks.  Erotika couldn’t just be left like that, however; we take it a step further and drop out the highlights so that the sleek, sexy metal peeks through.  You can actually feel the different levels of ink on the metal as you run your fingers across its surface.  Erotika is perfect for images with high-key or blown-out areas and can also create a very cool effect on black and white images.  Like the Armour and other specialty image covers, simply include any personalization into the cover image.  Erotika is available on flush mount ONE and artONE books sized 8×10 and larger.  Free sizing templates are available at www.finao.com.

ALL specialty front cover panels including these and the ICE, Canvas Panel, Magical Mystery Glass and Bebbalicious need to be paired with one of Finao’s amazing leathers for the spine and back.  The faux and fabric materials won’t do the trick, so luckily Finao offers more leathers than anyone!  Make sure you stay up to date with your swatches and also stay tuned for some more tasty custom Finao materials that we’re developing now!
