Saving Money

We all love to save money. Saving money on photo books means you can make more of them! There are some ways to help you reduce your costs. Here are some tips, tricks, and coupon ideas to help.

Saving Money with Photo Book Publishers

Photo book publishers will offer you coupons at different times. Here are some ideas to help take advantage of this.

Be Familiar With what Each Printer Offers

Know what is available with each printer. If you are making a book and it doesn't matter which printer you use then you can take advantage of the printer that is offering the lowest cost. If you have a special reason to use a certain printer due to a background, layout, or book size you can keep an eye out for a coupon with that printer.

Upload Photos to Several Printers

Most photo book publishers offer free prints when you join their site. The membership is free and you receive free prints for your efforts. If you join several different publishers you will get a chance to evaluate the quality of the printing and timeliness of service by ordering your free prints.

Be Flexible

Sometimes there is a sale on a cover that isn't your first choice. If it really doesn't matter, then you can afford to order a second copy. I was able to get some photo books for $10 each this way. If you are flexible with your cover choice or book size you can get some good deals.

Just Do It

If you put off making that special present, you won't have the special present when you need it, and chances are you will end up spending more on something else that you don't really want as much.

Purchase in Bulk

If you want more than one copy of the same book, you can save money by ordering the extra copies at the same time. Try out these discounts:

• Snapfish offers 25% off additional copies of the same book when ordered at the same time
• Shutterfly offers a 25-30% discount when you purchase 10 or more books
• Blurb will give you 10% off a single order of the same book if you order from 10-199 copies.

If you need several copies of the same book this could save you a bundle.
