Photo services for the AAYBA World Series locations in Texas, Missouri, & Colorado will be offered by GTR Sports Photography. Based on sales from the last several seasons and the feedback from our customers we will be changing our sales program beginning with the 2008 summer season.
Beginning with the 2008 season we will first photograph teams that pre-purchase in advance, we will no longer guarantee to photograph all of the teams participating in the event and we will no longer be offering prints onsite The pre-purchase photo packages will be available on CD's only, those wanting prints and posters can order on the web. By photographing the teams that pre-purchase we will be certain to cover the teams that want photos much better than in the past because we won't be wasting time and money photographing teams that are not interested in our services and miss getting enough photos of the teams that want photos.
It is very apparent that more and more of our customers prefer to purchase their photos on CD which offers many advantages to ordering the actual prints from us.
-
With the photo CD our customers can print in any size and any quantity that they prefer by printing the photos at home on their own photo printer or taking the CD to their local photo lab which nowadays include Walmart, CostCo, Walgreens, Kinko's, etc. The photo printers used today by these companies are equal to those used by the majority of professional photo labs.
-
By obtaining their photos on a CD it enables our customers to email the photos to friends and relatives, upload photos to personal and team websites, to Ipods, to cell phones, to My Space and Spacebook pages, etc.
What we have found in the past is that when teams order photos generally eight parents per team will order at an average sale of right at $50.00 which is equal to two 8x10's or three 5x7's. With our team CD program each player on your roster will receive a CD with every photo we have taken of their team which will be substancially more photos than what your $50 has bought in the past.
We offer two packages:
-
Package one - we will shoot two complete games, though we cannot guarantee the number of action photos we usually get approximately 500 per game for a total of around 1000. If all of the players get into the game, we will guarantee that all players will be photographed. If they don't play there is nothing we can do, we cannot come to another game to photograph those that didn't play. The fee for this package is $350.00 per team which breaks down to $29.17 per parent based on 12 players which is the average number of players rostered per team.
-
Package two - we will shoot one complete game, though we cannot guarantee the number of action photos we usually get approximately 500 per game. As outlined above all of the players get into the game, we will guarantee that all players will be photographed. If they don't play there is nothing we can do, we cannot come to another game to photograph those that didn't play. The fee for this package is $250.00 per team which breaks down to $20.83 per parent based on 12 players which is the average number of players rostered per team.
If time allows we will shoot as many of the remaining teams (that did not pre-purchase a package) as possible, and those photos will be available on the web after the World Series. We generally keep this photos online for 12 months.
Since most parents that purchase as outlined above spend $50 for only 2-3 photos you can see the extraordinary price of our CD packages. All orders must be pre-ordered two weeks in advance of your check-in date. We need this information so we know how many photographers to work. We will not accept orders on-site.
