Bonjour and good Tuesday to you all, dear BP4U-uers. Today’s featured vendor is Kotori, the only handmade photo jewelry company created exclusively for professional photographers. The company was started by Tonya, a creative mother of two.
About Tonya: “Tonya is a work-at-home mom with two kids who loves all things creative. Her love for family and her passion for art & photography is how Kotori was born. She became interested in photo jewelry as a way to carry photos of her two children with her. Unfortunately, everything available at the time would quickly fade or yellow, so she set off to find her own way to make high-quality heirloom jewelry designed to last.
After attending a photography workshop with Kimberly Wylie & Laura Novak and hearing stories of bad customer service and quality from other retail based jewelry vendors, Tonya decided to move Kotori strictly to selling wholesale to photographers. She changed to policies, structure, and production process to meet the specific needs of the professional photographer and has never looked back. We love working exclusively with our photographer clients.”
About Kotori Products
Kotori is the only handmade photo jewelry company that exists exclusively for professional photographers. What does that mean and why is it important? For starters, Kotori does not sell their products to the general public, so you can feel free to charge clients what you feel is appropriate for your business. Absolutely no prices are visible online without a wholesale login.
The Jewelry
all images are printed on the highest quality paper at a professional imaging lab and they’re sealed into the handmade jewelry using Kotori’s unique coating process that is totally waterproof, scratch resistant and guaranteed to never turn yellow.
As you can see from the pictures, the quality of Kotori jewelry is top notch. The designs are atypical, thoughtfully created and are sure to earn the wearer plenty of oohs and ahhs.
The Client Gift Concierge Program
Kotori recently created and launched a brand new “Client Gift Concierge” program.
“We know how stressful the busy fall season can be for photographers, so we are making it easy for them to gift their clients with photo jewelry. We take care of every aspect of the gift, including personalized enclosure cards, drop shipping and more.
The best part is that the jewelry is discounted below our regular wholesale pricing. As a photographer, the only thing you have to do is upload your image to us and we take care of the rest. Easy as pie.”
The program is a great easy way for photographers to wow clients with a high quality gift that walks around with them and works as instant referral at a very affordable price.
