If you're like most serious photographers, you've often found yourself looking at the photo greeting cards in your stores with the thought, "Hey, my photos would look as good as these, and they would probably sell, too!" Unfortunately, high printing costs and big quantity demands usually make testing that theory impossible.

Ancient Images has removed those hurdles and lets you make your favorite photographs into professional cards in reasonable quantities, and without a budget-breaking price tag.

As a participant in Ancient Images' test marketing program, you can publish your photographs on high quality 5" x 7" note cards at an unbelievably low cost and, if your card is successful, earn a royalty in addition!

Here's how it works: Each of your photographs will be printed on 2,000 cards. You will receive 1,000 each of your cards to use for your own purposes:

• Promote your photography.
• Retail at art fairs or club events.
• Fund raising for high school projects or local charities.
• Announcements, invitations, or holiday greetings for your business or personal use, etc.

Ancient Images will market the remaining 1,000 of each card through our network of manufacturers representatives and retail outlets giving your work national exposure.

Your Favorite Photographs On Beautiful Greeting cards

MORE DETAILS

If your card is successful in the retail market, Ancient Images will add it to our next production run, and you'll be paid a royalty of $125 for a reprint run of 2,000 cards. Royalties are paid each time your card is reprinted. If you don't wish to be a part of the Test Marketing Program, you can still participate in the group printing and take advantage of the low cost.

• To participate in the Test Marketing Program, submit several of your photographs that you would most like to publish. This gives Ancient Images some choice in order to avoid duplicating subject matter. (If you are not interested in the test marketing, you may send any photo you wish to publish.)

• Ancient images will make final selections from your submission. (Test marketing participants only.)

• The Ancient Images logo and a UPC code will be added to the back of your card (test marketing participants). The photo caption and description will be determined by you. We will help you with final wording. You may also include your brief biography. Of course, your photo ID and copyright are included.

Your cards will be added to Ancient Images' full-color catalog, which is mailed to all stores nation wide that carry Ancient images cards, to sales reps and to distributors.
