So, for over a year I've had this business idea that I've wanted to start, and I think I'm ready to really get going on it. I want to make wedding albums for people. I figure if they are willing to spend thousands on photography they will spend another $500 on having a custom wedding album. I was playing around this afternoon with making some templates of different "styles". The great thing is that because I'm doing this digitally I can easily alter colours, if someone wants a solid blue contrast colour instead of black I can easily change that on the fly. I'd like to start with 8-10 basic styles and then charge people extra for custom work beyond basic colour changes. As time goes on I could create additional style templates.
The marketing concept would be based on preserving not only your photos but your memories of the day. I could incorporate people's wedding vows, thoughts of the day, the wishes of their family etc. in the copy.
This first picture is a more ornate style..and the cover page of an album.
This is more of a graphic, magazine style look, and is obviously a "bride" page. Once I have more of Erika's photos I will change the bottom ones so that they are all different.
Anyway, I'll give it a go and see what happens. My goal is to be ready for the big spring bridal shows in Edmonton so that I can have a booth there.
p.s. Aren't Erika and Ben so cute!!

Baby, that is an EXCELLENT idea! You clearly have a talent for this - go for it!
Yes!!!
What a great idea and as everyone else has said you have the skill to back it up. Two years ago my sister quit her well paying job and started her own business from home- she now has 4 employees and is making more money than she has ever dreamed of plus she is satisfied and extreamly happy with what she does! I wish you great success- I KNOW you can do it!
Sorry to post twice on this topic but have you thought of showing your work at a baby show as well? You have all the pages made to show and you can design announcement cards, and create a digital memory of the birth. You are so talented your options are limitless.
