5 Innovative Opportunities
We've all heard the term 'value
added' but how does it affect sales
 and
profits? The value could be
intriging, useful, or even
surprising. Simply put, when a
product or service has an added
touch or feature that improves that
product - value is added. It
differentiates one photographer from
another as well as the price a
product can bring.
By listening and responding to
photographers input, Bullock
continues to raise the
bar by innovating creative features
and products that will certainly
add value to the services
offered by your studio.
Custom Cover Jackets
A great way to add a special
touch to Bullock

coffee table books.

Photographer's Comment
"...the sample photocards
that you've been sending with orders
have been a wonderful marketing tool for
us. The minute I give the order to our

same day to order the photocards.
Thanks for the great ideas in helping
our business market themselves."

'Originals'
In BPRocs, simply check the
location where you'd like your
logo to be placed and choose an
appropriate color for the
image. (4x5, 4x6, & 5x7
standard sizes)
All Wallets as
well as enlargements can be
tastefully branded with the
Studio Logo
Studio logo watermark
should be placed across
all images in online eCommerce.
This not only makes it difficult
for viewers to copy, but places
your studio name in the
forefront.
On your website
your studio's logo should be
branded at the top of every web
page
Stationary, notes,
newsletters, and
advertisements
should all include your
studio's brand logo in a
visible location

Logo Setup Information
Before ordering your studio logo on your
photographs, it needs to be setup in our lab
systems.
The logo must be solid black on a white
background which can be easily created in
Photoshop.
Save the image as a .tif file at 300dpi (4x5
size is fine).

New Designer Tools and Features!
The BPRocs 'Designer'
gives you the ability to create and
customize your own templates. Designer
is now more flexible and powerful than
ever, with new tools and features:
-
Select All
- Right-click on a
node box and choose Select All
to select all nodes on your layout.
-
Flip Horizontal/Flip
Vertical -
Flips the node bounds. You can use
the "Select All" feature, then "Flip
Horizontal" or "Flip Vertical" to
easily create mirrored layouts (ex:
facing pages in Riviera albums).
-
Copy and
Paste -
Right-click on selected nodes and
select Copy, then choose
another product of any size from the
Sizes Palette and right-click to
Paste. Nodes will be automatically
scaled to the new print size.
-
Fonts Button
-
You can now use your own fonts in
Designer-enabled text nodes by
clicking on the new FONTS button in
the Designer Tools Palette. When
your order is sent to Bullock
Professional, the text is rendered
as a graphic, so the text appears on
the final product exactly the way
you added it. Please note, because
text is rendered as a graphic, we
cannot make changes to the text on
the lab end--what you see on your
screen is what will end up on the
final print.
-
New! Add drop shadows to
lab-created nodes via
the Designer Shadows button.
Previously, only nodes created by
the customer could be shadowed.
-
Remember to backup your
templates.xml.enc file! To
avoid accidental loss of
your Designer template designs,
remember to periodically copy and
paste the file called
templates.xml.enc to another
location on your hard drive. This
file can be found in your .BullockPro
folder. For help locating your .BullockPro
folder, visit our
BPRocs FAQ.
