Magnets can be powerful because of the repeat exposure they generate. And since magnets can be printed in full color, a larger magnet might give you more room to showcase a photo. You can also cut costs and increase the presentation factor by attaching the magnet to a postcard for mailing instead of putting it in an envelope. Plus you can add additional images as part of the postcard artwork. Standing over a wastebasket to open the mail is a good image for anyone doing direct mail to keep in mind.

However when I received useful items such as magnets, return address labels, and calendars, I keep them for a very long time. And, I have used these companies services in the past.

I would like to think some of my photos have actually turned out pretty well and want to try out the idea of seeling them. I was hoping you could give me an insight on how I could go about getting started. My favorite pictures to take are scenic or nature, and in black and white. To me most pictures just look better that way. If you ahd any tips it would be very helpful to me if you would care to share. Thank you!

I agree with you on the postcards. So far in about 700 mailings I've booked a few gigs and received some calls. I've also sent news letters about my non-profit and that has helped.It's always nice to have something in hand!Thanks,Dave Bell Photographer Hi Rohn,

Thank you for the insight. I agree with you on the postcards. So far in about 700 mailings I've booked a few gigs and received some calls. I've also sent news letters about my non-profit and that has helped.

It's always nice to have something in hand!

Thanks,
