Photo Buttons, The New Money Maker

Thursday, April 29th, 2010

Historically, photo buttons have been used in every political campaign since the 1870’s. Today, photo buttons are used as wearable portraits along with photo T-shirts, etc. Photo buttons are most popular as a very profitable sales “add-ons” for sports, dance and event photography and come with a pin, magnet or mirror back. For other types of studio photography, photo buttons have great promise to enhance that all too shrinking bottom line. Selling photo buttons is a quick profit builder. At a wholesale price of about $1.50, photographers are selling photo buttons between $4.00 & $8.00. Not shabby for just checking the button box on your ROES lab print order. Note: the lower price is usually an add-on to a package while the higher price is a button sold separately. Size of photo buttons play a big part in demand. Kids really like bigger buttons–3.5 inch diameter. As a refrigerator magnet or mirror, Mom’s also appreciate the 3.5″ button. Seems the larger image size attracts more attention.
