A professional photo album is a wonderful way to preserve any special occasions. While weddings, Mitzvahs, and portraits are traditionally showcased in photo albums, many other events and celebrations should have a physical copy to tell the story of the celebration. In this blog, we will explore the opportunities to offer professional photo albums for charity galas.
Tell The Story
Albums created from gala and philanthropic campaigns can showcase the cause, and provide a lasting memory for attendees, volunteers, and honorees. Professional photo albums can serve as a valuable fundraising tool, a way to thank sponsors and supporters.
Often images from a special event, like an award ceremony or gala, are used in a few social media posts and marketing pieces. Their usage is pretty sparse in relation to the impact of the efforts made to raise funds, create scholarships, and better the lives of others. Having professionally designed photo albums to memorialize the efforts and contributions of donors and stewards makes an excellent gift that can be viewed time and time again.
Creating a unique professional photo album from a charity event not only preserves the memories of the occasion but also provides a tangible way to showcase the charity’s mission. The impact of stewardship can be strategically and emotionally documented through imagery. An album can focus on event highlights, the organization’s work, and how funds impact the ongoing projects.
Many Uses
If you are photographing award ceremonies, galas, or fundraising events, putting together a marketing piece on how albums can accompany photographic services is an excellent way to share the many uses of photo albums. In addition, adding these events to your calendar during slower seasons can find you extra revenue. Feel free to copy-paste these suggestions!
