Holiday Printing for Photographers: Sell More This Season
The holidays are when clients want something special to hold onto. This is a perfect opportunity for photographers to offer printed products that clients can gift, display, and enjoy all year. Prints add a real, lasting touch to your holiday packages, giving clients something they’ll truly value.
Why Holiday Printing Matters to Clients (And to Your Business)
The holidays are all about family and finding that perfect gift to bring a smile to someone’s face. As a photographer, offering printed products lets your work become part of these moments. Prints like photo books, custom calendars, or sets of your favorite images aren’t just items—they’re gifts that clients can display, enjoy, and use every day. For clients, a custom print shows their loved ones that they’ve put real thought into the gift, making it even more meaningful.
Giving clients something they can hold and see daily adds a personal touch that digital images just can’t. A beautifully made photo book or a calendar filled with favorite memories is something they’ll appreciate all year. These prints become part of their everyday lives, making your work more meaningful and giving clients a reason to stay connected to you.
Holiday prints also let photographers get creative with what they offer. You can put together collections from your own work, like a series of landscapes or wildlife shots, giving clients a variety of unique pieces to choose from. For them, it adds something special; for you, it builds a relationship that keeps them coming back.
One of our clients, Sheila Kliewer, has seen how custom calendars help her stay top-of-mind with clients and even bring in referrals. For more on how Sheila uses holiday printing to connect with clients, check out our blog on Custom Calendars for Building Client Relationships.
Adding printed products to your holiday offerings gives clients memorable gifts and keeps your work front and center, strengthening their connection to you year after year.
