Make more money from the sale of digital files…
What is MPP – Order Prints? A way you can make more money from the sale of digital files!
We’ve noticed a gap in the market – the replacement of mini labs with large chain stores that offer substandard prints. There is also the well established trend of the digital image – often not being printed at all. Research shows that consumers do want to print more and they want quality prints! So we’ve created MPP – Order Prints to fill this gap but also provide a service to photographers.
MPP – Order Prints is the retail version of Streets Imaging. All orders go through the exact same professional workflow. It is only the price that differs. Pricing is in line with the large chain stores, which is considerably higher than what you are accustomed to paying as a professional. This allows us to pay you a commission for these sales!
Why should you use it?
Some clients have been wary of sending their clients to their pro lab but felt uncomfortable about sending them to second rate printers like Officeworks etc. With MPP – Order Prints you can feel safe knowing your images will be printed as you intended them. When your clients show their family friends they are showing beautiful, vibrant prints that will last as long as the professional paper allows them (100-200 years).
And one of the best part is… You will also be compensated. All sales that go through with your account number will earn you a commission on the order total and that’s for every order your client puts through – even if they order their holiday snaps or phone camera pics. So you have a financial incentive as well as a quality incentive.
How it works...
When you sell digital files you would include a promotion slip for MPP – Order Prints and strongly recommend it as the best printer to use for your digital images. The promotion slip has your account number, easy instructions and even a promo code for a discount on first orders. All your clients need to do is go to the website supplied, put in your account code and start ordering!
They have access to a simplified version of our product range. We have taken out products that don’t make sense to offer them, renamed some products, removed some warnings and so on.
All paperwork and communication comes from MPP – Order Prints. Turnaround times are roughly the same and orders are not available for pickup. The materials and workflow used are all the same!
Orders are reconciled at the start of the next month and commissions are paid within a few days of this.

MPP – Order Prints is a service for your clients to order the images you provided them digitally through a professional lab. We can supply you with various promo materials to inform your clients and even encourage them to print through MPP. We also recommend putting a link on your website with instructions. From there here is the basic process:
1. You supply your Client with MPP promo materials with your digital files.
2. You inform your Client your MPP account number that is unique to your business. This will be on the MPP materials but you need to emphasize the importance of them using it.
3. Your client downloads the MPP version of our ordering software and enters your account number. They can then select from simplified list of our products that have a more consumer focus.
4. When your Client uses the account number, MPP will pay you a commission of the gross sales of products and services which are produced by MPP (excluding any amounts applied to postage, packaging, shipping and/or freight). This commission includes GST.
5. Your Client’s order will be processed by Streets Imaging with the same care and professional colour management process as your own work and within our normal timelines.
6. Your client will receive paperwork (receipts) with MPP branding (Not Streets Imaging)
• The commission will be based on all purchases by the Client regardless of whether the images have been produced by you or from another source so long as your Client uses the MPP account number you supplied them.
• Any commission due, will be paid within 5 working days of the end of the month.
• You agree that neither you, nor MPP has any control over whether your Client uses the account number given by you. The Client may use an account number supplied by another party or the default account number.
• In this instance where your supplied MPP account number is not used, no commission will be paid to you on products and services supplied.
• You agree to add links to DVD’s, USB’s, emails and other devices that supply files to the client. These links will direct Clients to the MPP website and /or online facility.

How to sell MPP to your Clients...
Here’s some of the techniques our most successful MPP users employ to encourage their Clients to use MPP to order their photo prints and products:
Give them the flyer
You can’t win the lotto without buying a ticket! Give all of your digital file clients a flyer and tell them about MyProPhoto. We can print you plenty so if you run out just let us know and we can send more ASAP.
Follow up with your Clients
If so, drop the question in conversation if they’ve printed copies of their photos yet. It’s for your benefit too; I’m always reminded I am overdue for a new photo shoot when I see the prints on my fridge for the last one – out of sight, out of mind!
Have samples printed
When you are telling your Clients about MPP show them a sample of the difference in quality between our professional printing and a big chain store print. Also, have a look at the price list while you are there. Your Clients would be surprised to find that all of our enlargement prices are the same if not cheaper than those big chain stores.
It's not limited to professional photos
They can get whatever they like printed along with their professional images and use the service time and time again! (Remember you still get the commission on these too, you’ve earned it)
Use the promocodes
Giving Clients a small window of opportunity to redeem a promotion will encourage them to order their images as soon as possible which will discourage a ‘when I get around to it’ attitude.
Talk up our products
They are guaranteed to last – We use genuine high end professional papers, chemicals, inks, everything! So give them the confidence their photos will last generations.
