Do you offer Studio Sample discounts?
Yes, we offer sample discounts on most products. The discount amount is either 25% or 40% off, depending on the product type.
What is considered a Studio Sample?
A Studio Sample is a sample product which a photographer keeps to show their clients. It is intended to help with your in-person sales sessions, in showing your beautiful images paired with our top-notch quality firsthand. Studio Samples are NOT for sale to your clients.
Do you watermark Studio Samples?
For our Albums, an imprint or watermark reading "Sample Album" will be added to the back cover, at the bottom. If the cover material on the back cannot accept imprinting, the imprint will be added to the inside back cover. We ask that album samples be limited to one cover style per type of album, per year.
When ordering Gallery Blocks through Bay ROES, the Options section has a checkbox for the sample discount. Checking this box will apply the discount in the Cart, and will also display the sample watermark on the front face. No exceptions can be made to remove the sample watermark.
