Why We Have a Competitive Edge

Before opening Precious Treasures Photography, we worked with and for some of the leading companies in the portrait fundraising industry. Yes, these companies are reputable, and yes, they do great work. However, while working with these companies, we were not only familiar with their programs, but when working with churches, schools, and other groups, we made several observations as to the likes and dislikes of the coordinators and much more. The goal here is not to "knock" the competition, but what we want to do is show you how we have taken a well-designed program and made it better!

Our 100% Profit Guarantee

Knowing the difference between profit potential and profit guarantee is essential. Yes, we're proud to say that we have a 100% profit guarantee, and simply put, when conducting any of our portrait programs, the $10 donations your group collects belongs to your group. Yes, other companies allow you to keep the entire amount collected, but in some cases, you are required to sell certificates for a higher price and send the difference to those companies. For example, one particular company's certificates may cost each participant $15 for a 10 x 13 portrait, but you may only be allowed to keep $10 from each. On the other hand, some companies say that there is a profit potential of 200% or even 300%. What does this mean? Well, in cases where you keep the entire amount of each certificate or donation and in those cases where you have to submit so much from each certificate, they add the amount of each certificate that you keep to whatever bonus they are offering that you could earn. For these reasons, we simply say that we have a 100% profit guarantee, and because there are additional ways to earn more money, there is no limit to what may be earned.

Our Bonus Structure

Besides our 100% profit guarantee, we offer two types of bonuses which allow you to earn even more money. The first type of bonus is paid for specific numbers of sittings. For example, with our family portrait fundraiser, for having 55 qualified sittings, you would receive a $200 bonus, and the bonuses increase from there. Yes, other companies offer these bonuses, but we are excited to tell you that we have the best bonus structure in the industry! There is more! Though the bonus structure is different for both the family portrait fundraisers and the children's antique portrait fundraisers, when you combine the two programs, you still receive a bonus. Be careful! Some companies may use this as a "loop hole". For example, if you had 47 groups of children who participated in the children's antique portrait program and 49 families who had family portraits taken, some might tell you that you didn't qualify for your bonus, and technically, they can get by with that, but we don't do that. If you want to do a day of antique portraits and a day of family portraits, we have a special bonus structure for that! Also, another requirement some companies may have for paying bonuses is that a certain percentage of participants have to purchase additional portraits. Yes, you may have the sittings you need to earn a great bonus, and yes, these companies will tell you that persons aren't obligated to buy anything extra, but if you read the "fine print" in a contract they may give you, you will see that they can get by with that as well, so don't be mislead! On the other hand, the other bonus we offer is paid in the amount of $100 to your group when another organization is referred to us and that group actually conducts one of our portrait fundraisers. When we say "profitable and rewarding," we mean it!
