Cheap photo albums?

12 years 3 weeks ago #222968 by Foggy
Let me say very quickly this isn't my question. I had a message from a client today asking for 3 cheap photo albums for an upcoming family BBQ I'm photographing for them. I have yet to call them back, but will make my recommendations on albums. Honestly I don't know any 'cheap' ones. I wouldn't want to sell any thing that was branded as 'cheap'.

I'll deal with this tomorrow, my head hurts.

A quick Google search will yield all the 'cheap' album companies you could ever want. I had a client go that route before and seriously it was only 3 months or so before she called and said the pages were pealing and the pages were falling out. She wanted a replacement, so we went with a album from Finao. At the end of the day, her cutting the wrong corner cost her more.

I get a kick when people use that work 'cheap'. You get what you pay for!

Maybe what they're looking at is that they want some family photos as keepsakes but don't want to put the money into it that people do for weddings etc. Maybe there would be something smaller that's made for maybe 5x7's instead of traditional sized albums that would be more affordable but still good quality.

Take a look at Mpix they have coffee table books starting at $20 and photo albums starting at $80 each. I don't think you are going to find much lower than that: www.mpix.com/products/photobooks

Depending on their wants, there are many quality albums that are reasonably priced. I will invite you to browse at www.midwestphotographic.com .

There are a lot of the self-adhesive albums that are very good quality, but there are also some very nice slip in style albums as well.
