NEW - Glacier Albums
A great classic album!
Glacier

This classic album style comes to you with all the same features as our Mosaic, Tuscany and Echo albums. The Glacier Album collection features a clear acrylic cover that displays your image on the front. Images are framed with a durable, black leather-like finish that wraps around to the back and spine.

Glacier Albums come in either a full front image or a slim vertical image at no extra charge. The choice is up to you!

All Glacier Albums include our standard flush mounted lay flat pages on the inside and include these standard options:
  • Choice of Luster or Metallic Paper
  • Panoramas look great across our industry leading 1mm gutter
  • Tight rounded corners are perfect for protection from damage without sacrificing design space
  • Optional square page corners
  • Album spreads lay flat when opened
  • Premiere Album Box included
For more information about our Glacier Albums please visit our website.

Using Album Manager to its Fullest Potential

I know that time is precious so I wanted to take just a few moments to go over some tips on using the Album Manager site to your best advantage. Hopefully, these tips will help you to save time in the long run.

The Album Manager is not only for posting your album orders online for your clients; it is a resource for managing your album orders. Each event has a work order number which is displayed on the My Albums section of the Album Manager but naming each event will help with organization.

I'm sure it's challenging to set down and design an entire album from start to finish at one time so I encourage you to take advantage of the ability to upload your pages to the Album Manager site as they're completed rather than holding them in the software. When you're ready to send additional pages, simply click the option on the Review Order screen of the software that says "Add Pages to Existing Event" and enter the work order number as you see it on the Album Manager site.

The Album Manager is the only ordering tool that will allow you to order multiple album or book products from the same images. Reorders orders are made simple as each event is stored online for six months from the original creation date. Simply log back in any time during that time frame and add a new cover and check out or post online for approval. Parent albums may require a few edits, check out for the bride's family, make a few more changes and check out for the groom's family.  

Ordering a sample album? Be sure to post it for viewing at www.approvemyalbum.com as well.  You can post it without a password and use it as an online display of your work to compliment the album you've just shown them. 

When you need to know if your client has approved the order, or you need to recall information about a past order from the event, simply log in, choose Album Set Up and you'll see Event Data on the left hand side. This will display a listing of any orders that were checked out from the Album Manager site or approved through www.approvemyalbum.com. Clicking the Details option will show you who approved the order as well as all ordering details.

There are many advantages to using the Album Manager and I hope this has been a valuable use of your time. Let us know in Customer Service if we can be of any assistance!
