$200-$300 retail or wholesale?

If you are looking for flush-mount, I can't think of a single company that offers them at a low enough cost to justify a retail price of $200-$300. I'll be thinking it over and come back here if I come up with any that will retail that low.

When it comes to 'the best albums out there' I can think of a few great ones that wholesale for up to 10 times your budget. Good luck with the search, if you find something can you look for me the best car, I've got a budget of about 1000usd, might go to 2000 if you can get me mid engined and Italian.:wink::wink:

The best wedding albums in the world will cost you more than $1000, printed and assembled. I buy dozens of them each year. Remember you have to add a profit margin onto that, or a price for your time, or something, if you want to run a profitable business.

Do you want to sell albums for $300, or buy them yourself for $300? Check out http://www.kisswedding​books.com/ (external link) they're meant to be great quality and good value. Once you register you get prices.

I am not seeing the "like this" that you are referring to but I am assuming that you are talking about the flush mount albums. You can get a pretty nice album to sell at $450-$500. If you are wanting to keep your prices closer to the $300 range I would suggest a coffee table style book. Asukabook has some really nice quality coffeetable albums. You have to reg with the good ones to see the prices but it's worth it.

you can try www.leatheralbumdesign​s.com (external link)

Check out their Youmount album. I get mine cut flush to edge with leather or canvas covers for well under $200. And they're fast!

Good Luck!

You want "the best wedding albums out there" but only want your clients to spend 200-300 bucks? Might as well go to Snapfish and mark their albums up.

Congrats! Were you able to find someone to do leather-bound for that price, or more of a coffee table type book? We are searching as well and having a VERY hard time lol.

Check out http://lenzart.com/ (external link) . They have some great quality stuff for the money. I prefer the KISS albums, but lenzart stuff is a great second choice. Plus they offer a ton of different print options that kiss does not. My best advice though, is to see about getting some samples sent to you, or visiting print shop booths at conventions/ shows because in person is the only way to get a good idea of the true quality of a print shop's work.
