Marathon’s preproduced marketing materials are cost effective and easy to launch. They feature high-quality stock images carefully chosen to reflect the type of work that qualified independent photographers typically produce for their clients. They are appropriate for use when they reflect the type of work your studio offers to the public. Preproduced products are especially useful when cost is a consideration, you need to launch a promotion quickly, and when you wish to test the value and performance of a new photographic product line.
Most preproduced materials are adapted from tested and proven studio promotions and sales-support pieces. ZIP Code protection is available on many preproduced products. When available, you can protect your market area for 10 months with a minimum order of 500 pieces.
Preprinted products are fast, shipped within 48 hours or 5 working days from final proof approval when imprinted. Many preproduced products can be personalized with your studio imprint for an additional charge. Design your own back copy or allow Marathon’s team of professional designers to create a design from your provided text. Predesigned advertising back-copy versions are also available for most cards.
