MAY 2012

We’re launching custom iPhone Cases this week and they’re going to revolutionize your business! This is a product with an appeal that covers every client base. They’re perfect for bridal party gifts. Imagine covers with all the bridesmaids or that great shot from the engagement party! They’re a must-have item for every senior as well as every parent and grandparent. Add them to your sports packages, so parents can show off their all star every time they whip out their phone! Images are created with the sublimation transfer process that is used for our metal prints, so iPhone Case images will have that same quality luminescent look your clients love. Cases are made of a soft silicone and available in black or white. This is going to be a year round favorite!

Weddings, graduations, the big team win, are all celebrations of life and we’re proud to play a small part in yours and your customer's. There are other celebrations that, while, sad, are still celebrations of life. We’re proud to play a part in those with you as well. Recently Darren received an email from long time customer, Jim Tibbetts, that we would like to share with you, because it really is a celebration of life and of memory. We are fortunate to be uniquely qualified to have contributed to this life.

“Once again, I thank you for going over the top for one of my customers. A local high school freshman drowned over the last weekend. His classmates were stunned. Earlier this year, I had shot the school photos for the school, but this child could not afford photos. Through your generosity (and of course Pounds) the family now has in their possession several photos of their son, grandson, cousin, brother and nephew, probably the last professional photo that he had taken. All students in the small school have a wallet photo to remember him by.

My only regret for you, Darren, is that you do not get a chance to see the eyes of the people that this act of kindness has made moist. On the other hand, I do get to see them, and it affects me deeply. Please know that this act is appreciated by more folks than me.

God bless both you and Pounds for offering your time and talents, in this time of need for families that you have never met."
