OPUS CLUB Newsletter                          April 2007

I hope you are enjoying printing OPUS albums.    Now it is spring and we are having glorious weather – it’s time to get out and photographing and printing!

Here are some of the benefits from OPUS.  Look at http://www.opusalbums.com/ for more!

Print & Bind going great!

Now with the number of repeat orders it is difficult to track those who have standardised on them from those who haven’t.

For home and casual use at any rate the Print & Bind is very good – quick, easy reliable and very presentable – with strong plastic covers and high quality photo-glossy paper – equally good for both dye and pigment cartridges.  We have used both.

Anybody can use OPUS Print & Bind – you just need a digital camera and an inkjet printer!  --  Introduce us to your friends and a FREE Print & Bind for YOU.  (see below)

OPUS CLUB - Help us – help yourself and your friends.

It is difficult to get the message round though.  We are investing a lot into web marketing, but there is always a slow payoff.  So who better to sell then our satisfied customers.  Indeed the spirit in which we want to help our customers is the spirit behind the OPUS Club.  Yes it helps us too – but that is what win-win means.

So – answer this e-mail and we will send you as a favour a Print & Bind album free.  But I’d like to think that you’d do us a favour too.

Send an e-mail to your friends (we will give you an ad). If they buy OPUS then there is a bonus to you.

1.                 You get £5 (paid quarterly) for every new customer.

2.                 We will send you a Print & Bind album every time that customer orders!

3.                 We will pay you a referral fee of 5% of everything that customer ordered.  (10% till 30 June 2007).

That is provided the customer puts your email address or name in the ‘introduced by’ field when he places his first order.

OPUS GOLD Club benefits have been upgraded.  More on the website

Also – have you a tip? Or a testimonial?  Or something to add to the FAQ’s

Email me daniel@opusalbums.com

I’ll send you a free Print and Bind for every item, story etc.

We want to become ‘the authoritative site’ for albums.  So if you have any good guides or write one it would be welcome.  We will of course give you the credit and a link to your website (if appropriate).  See our FAQ, Testimonial, and Information pages for more.

I’d like articles on “Albums for weddings”,  “Albums for parties”,  “Albums in commerce” etc.

Special Plan for Photo Clubs

OPUS has mounted a special arrangement for Photo Clubs.  Please e-mail me for details:  daniel@opusalbums.com

Register your club and its members can receive up to 15% discount (i.e. Club plus 10%) or the discount can be shared between the member and the club.

This applies both to Photo Art and Print & Bind Albums.

Photo Art Albums – a couple of changes

Until demanded by the market the manufacturer is offering the Album and Scrapbook sizes only in the “Soft Texture Natural White” paper.  It also has not delivered albums with FibaPrint™ paper yet.

However if there is a demand we could offer:

          Other paper types – the full Innova range – some on our site, all on the Innova site – http://www.innovaart.com/

Print Service

We are looking at starting up a print service producing prints (up to A3) and albums on demand.   We can also do some Photoshop editing of the pictures too.

Let me know if you have ideas as to what you would find useful, what price targets and what services you think we should offer.  E-mail me daniel@opusalbums.com

This is great software, but we have been having a bit of a problem finalising the licence arrangements.  There were some management changes and the album manufacturing partner is less sure of the deal.

Apologies if you have not received a licence key.  E-mail me if you need one.

Best wishes – and happy printing!
