Greetings!

Good things come in Threes - and our latest special is no exception. Big savings when you order 16x20, 20x24 or 20x30 Lumira prints in sets of three. Read below to find out more...

In our last newsletter, we said we'd like to feature YOU in our twice monthly e-letters. Unfortunately, we linked to an incorrect email address. So, if you'd like me to interview you for a feature in our newsletter, please contact me - either by phone (800.777.1141) or email. We'll run the first interview in our next newsletter. In the meantime, we'd like to introduce you to the vice-president of Fine Print Imaging, Linda Helm.

The Big Three

January 16-31!
No, not Harvard, Princeton and Yale. And not Truman, Stalin and Churchill. Not even Larry, Curly and Mo. No, much, much better than that - it's the Lumira Big Three! Choose your trio and SAVE up to $48 off our regular pricing:

Buy three 16x20's and pay only $57!
 

Buy three 20x24's and pay only $72!
 

Buy three 20x30's and pay only $87!

You can pick three of the same image, or three different images, BUT, you have to print them all the same size and same paper surface (gloss, matte or luster). You can take full advantage of the special pricing and order sets of three in all three sizes!

Offer good on previously printed Lumira prints only. New images must be proofed first (at our regular price) or sent in ready-to-print.  

Orders must be placed between January 16 and January 31 to take advantage of this special!

Call in your order during our regular business hours OR use our new, easy online order form and order when it is convenient for YOU!

Cannot be combined with any other special, coupon or offer.

"Conversations Equal Sales" by Kate Dardine
Kate headshotMy last post was all about getting people to come to your site, wander around and look at all the beautiful images. Now, how do you turn lookers into buyers?

According to Clint Watson, creator of the Fine Art Studio Online websites, the only way you sell art is through "connecting with real people and having conversations with them."

You know the old saying - when there is a will, there is a way? Assuming you have the will, here are a few ways to engage in "conversation" with the viewers on your website.

Meet the Staff:
Linda Helm Linda Helm,
Vice President of Fine Print Imaging


As a partner to Mark Lukes in life and in business, Linda's role has evolved over the years and now includes fiscal oversight, strategic planning and all HR related concerns.  She is well suited to the role having come from a management background in the human services arena.

When asked about the challenges and high points of her work at Fine Print, Linda states, "The challenges involve the many technological changes in the photography industry in the last decade, the retooling of our business and our staff based on those changes and the learning required to hold it all together in a rapidly changing market and a floundering economy.  It is both intimidating and exhilarating to be in business today.

The high points for me all have to do with people. The folks that we share our days (and some nights) with here at Fine Print are, without exception, some of the best people I know.  They are creative, giving, funny, weird, exacting, dedicated and loyal.  And then there is the diverse group of customers who trust us to articulate their artistic vision..."
