Every sports team, small or big, amateur or professional, has great moments to share with others. Thanks to social media, personal blogs and websites, sharing pictures capturing the victory, anniversary etc. of the team is extremely easy. However, there is an even better way of collecting all those magnificent moments: a photo book. Photo books are the best way to treasure those experiences and share them with friends and relatives, while they are more affordable than ever. With the various benefits and savings sports teams get with these photo book services, it’s easy to sell them to team members and other enthusiasts at a friendly price.
Preparing a photo book starts with collecting the best pictures your team can find. The best solution is to have a dedicated website/page or a social media page/group (Facebook is the most obvious) where those pictures can go. In fact, Shutterfly has a separate solution called Team Share, to which team members can upload and share pictures with each other privately (plus manage event schedules and player availability too). No matter what solution you choose regarding photo storage, there is one major advice to take: in order to be able to select the best pictures out of the bunch, encourage your fans and family members to upload their pictures as well. This way you don’t have to worry about the lack of a professional photographer at your side, because quite often the best pictures are taken by the fans, the spectators and even by team members themselves.
Once the pictures are taken care of, the entire team has to select those which represent them the best way. Goofy pictures are ok if the photo book is intended for team members and their families, but if the book is going to be sold in a professional manner to advertise the team and raise funds therefor, pick more serious/professional-looking photos. Speaking of professionalism, a sports photo book must be simple on the inside: include few photos per page, don’t use clichés for captions, select a fitting background and layout and choose stickers if it goes with the pictures. As for the physical appearance of the book, provide the biggest variety possible: small, medium and large sizes (the latter is optional) with soft- or hardcover. With all these options, your photo book is accessible to all members and fans of the team, regardless of their preferred photo book format and budget.
You’ll find the same flexibility and convenience when it comes to selling and delivering your books. The photo book website takes care of it all: they let you set up a page, or a whole website even, through which you can sell the books. You don’t have to deal with handling the sales of the books, while the delivery of the books is also done by the photo book provider.
The biggest advantage of photo book companies is that you can get team pictures printed on virtually everything. And if your team thinks in advance and wants to fund itself by selling not just photo books, but smaller items as well, this is your chance. Imagine all the possibilities: mugs with team or team member pictures on one side and a quote/another picture/the team’s logo on the other side; key holders; fridge magnets; calendars with highlighted team events; T-shirts, pillows, towels, blankets with pictures; and so on. As you can see: just like in your team’s success, only the sky is the limit regarding your imagination and possibilities.
