We are gearing up for our 4th annual birthday party in mid-July and we’d love to have you be a part of it all!

“I’ve received triple the amount of traffic from your site than any other site I’m advertising on! I’m so pleased with choosing to advertise with you!” -Kathy, boudoirbusinessboutique.com

“Anybody wanting to advertise really should. I love browsing your ads to find new vendors and resources.” -Kim, momtriedit.net

“I can’t tell you how many people we have advertised with that pretty much ignore our requests (or so we feel). We will be staying with you as long as we are still in business!” -Lori, prairiesweet.com

what’s the deal?

Like everyone else in North America, Paperie is switching gears from summer to fall / winter. This means shorter days, longer shooting schedules as the holidays approach, and giveaways galore!

In a few weeks we’ll be announcing the exciting details for the second annual “best packaging contest“. Remember how much bigger / better this year’s second birthday celebration was? Well the next packaging contest will be no different! One vendor has already kicked in a $500.00 gift certificate!

What does all this mean to photography-related vendors? There’s never been a better time to advertise on Paperie! During our birthday celebration in July we logged well over 7 million unique hits and over 450,000 page views. We’ve followed that up with over 10 million unique hits from early August – mid September! Those numbers are only guaranteed to climb as the holidays and the annual packaging contest approach!

The current CPQ location, built in 1993, encompasses 47,000 square feet and houses a full-service lab (both optical and digital) that serves clients from all over the United States.

In addition to deep-discounts on our normal ad rates, we are also going to include each new vendor (that signs up between Monday, July 18th thru Tuesday, July 26th) in a blog entry for better Google indexing through text links! So take one of our most-recent ad renewals for example… This is what your entry would look like:

Paperie Boutique is proud to announce a recent addition to our vendor family – Florabella Collection! “Florabella Textures” are .jpg or .png images that you apply as a layer on top of your image…you change the texture’s opacity and blending mode to achieve the desired result.

Textures can do so much for an image: they can make it look vintage, nostalgic, dreamy, shabby, etc. They can add warmth and depth, or just increase the overall wow factor. With the click of a mouse, an entire series of post processing steps will be applied to your image.”
