Pixel2Canvas - What's Up Duck?

CRAZY CHEAP Canvas Deals!

2011-03-15T13:41:00.000-07:00

We've all seen those "Group Coupons" flooding the market. We wanted to give OUR customers the same kind of great offer - especially those who have registered, but haven't purchased yet.

There is no reason to wait. Price is not an issue any more.

For the rest of March, every 48 hours we will launch the Pixel2Canvas Deal2Day. It will be an outrageous deal on ONE SIZE OF CANVAS ONLY. Buy as many as you want, with or without presales.

When you redeem your presales, they will be available for the size you purchased ONLY. So if you buy five 16x20's and then four 20x24's next week, that's EXACTLY what you will redeem.

You can order one, or a bunch, and pass the savings on to your clients. (Personally, I'd buy a few and create my own sale. Yep. That's where I would play.)

Sorry - ya gotta log in to the site to see the deal....or sign up for the newsletter!

If you don't order, you can't win!

EACH AND EVERY DAY through the end of March, we will choose a daily winner for an iPod Shuffle!

But if you don't order, you can't win!

Yes - I said every day!!!

Quit reading, click on the links, and get your Deal2Day!

This deal ends at Midnight PST on Thursday March 17th ('cause it came out late today - I'll give you a few extra hours...)

Canvas and Wall Riders and GeoMetrix - OH MY!

2011-03-10T21:44:00.000-08:00

We've been getting them all the time - maybe from the neon lights of Las Vegas, or just because we're different and we THINK DIFFERENTLY - but no matter WHY, we want to share them with you!

From now till Friday, March 11th at Midnight we are running our "Sprint Into Innovation" Special and unveiling to you just what we have had under wraps these last several months.

Here at Pixel2Canvas we pride ourselves on our innovative thinking and radical approach to providing you with products that are constantly leaps and bounds ahead of other companies in our field. During WPPI We had the opportunity to show many of you the stark difference between our product and theirs. The response was overwhelming, and we were humbled by your comments.

"I am blown away by the quality and thickness of your canvas. This doesn't even compare to my current lab. I am a P2C Convert." Steve - Texas

"The color is so much brighter and the texture of the canvas gives P2C a luxurious feel that my current canvas product doesn't. And besides, they don't have GeoMetrix " Jeff- California

"What will you think of next?" Kenny Kim - Chicago

"I want a Wall Rider with Wheels!" Joe Barnet - Costa Mesa

"Wow - a skate deck - really? NOBODY else has done anything like it! I want to be the leader of the street team!" Amy C. California

"You make wicked products , and you Love Canadians! I love pimping P2C!"
Nikki MacArthur - Canada

"My students are going to flip over these products.These are incredible!" Miss Jackson - Japan

"You use a textured backing that give my work the artistic feel I want them to, I hate that plain paper that my current lab uses and I won't ever go back." Matt - Seattle

"OMG I have to have one! Please can I just take this now? I can't leave with out this!"
Stephanie - San Francisco

Evolve or Perish - It's the New Black

We've been hinting about releasing a few extraordinary things for some time now - and here they are!

INNOVATION - REINVENTION - CREATION
EVOLVE OR PERISH

Wall Riders - our new line of custom Skate Decks and GeoMetrix - canvas isn't just square any more!

NOBODY has ever seen anything like it!

"Wall Riders are no joke! We already have one in our studio and it is kick @$$. You wanna jump start some sales? These guys will hijack your sales and be the talk of the town!" -Sal Cincotta

You don't want to miss out on this movement - Purchase your Launch Kit till friday for $60.00! TONS of your WPPI pals did - so don't miss out!

Includes the Board, 1 Template Design & Shipping - SHUT THE FRONT DOOR!

Don't stop at just one! Hang them side by side and post them on your blog like San Diego Photographer Jeff Davidson did - and see what response YOU get!

Canvas Isn't Just For Squares Any More!

Here's another example of our innovation - our new GeoMetrix line!

These Hex Shaped Canvas Prints make designing a wall grouping fun and easy. And for certain, your customer's will have never seen anything like it anywhere.

Because of the flexibility in design, these pieces can be grouped vertically, horizontally, or in organic designs that will fit any wall area.

PLEASE NOTE the sizes below are PER SIDE and as such, these pieces are larger than a square of the same dimensions. PLEASE SKIP the P2See editor and use the templates in the Download Section of the Pixel2Canvas website.

Sizes are 8", 10", 12", 14" and 16" - starting at just $75. Can you imagine the awesome wall grouping? These can grow as your customer's family grows!

From TODAY through Friday March 11 at MIDNIGHT PST (that's 3 AM for you East Coast night owls) take 30% off ALL CANVAS AND FINE ART PRINTS.

...Yes. It includes the new GeoMetrix canvases!!

Your duckie won't be this big though...

Can you BELIEVE this!?

1. IS THERE A TIME LIMIT ON USING THE PLACEHOLDERS?
NO - there is no time limit to redeem the canvas(es) or products. We have your money, and assume that eventually you'll want your stuff. We'll call you on occasion to nag you if you don't upload your images in a few months.

2. HOW DO I USE A PLACEHOLDER?
Copy any of the lovely graphics on this newsletter - like any of the images here (The Fresh Prince, or Easy 123) or just use something that you KNOW WE WON'T PRINT. Upload THAT instead of an image when you place your order. When you're ready, email us your image with the order number and BOOYAH! Your order will be on the way!

3. CAN I APPLY MY ARTIST DISCOUNT TO THE SALE?
Ummmmm.... no.

C'mon baby! Mamma needs a new iMac!

Easy! Upload your ENTIRE order WITHOUT those lovely placeholders, and you'll be in the running for a $200 Apple Gift Card. The winner will be announced on Monday January 24th.

Click on the lovely sign above to get the deets!

While we've been attending WPPI for the past few years, throwing some parties (one which is legendary - or so I've heard) sponsoring awesome photogs and meeting with our customers, we've never had a booth.

Until now.

I mean seriously - P2C has MOVED lock stock and barrel to Las Vegas, the show is right in our backyard (front yard??) so we'd be crazy not to have a rockin' booth! And have a rockin' booth we shall.

We are going to unveil some CRAZY AWESOME new products - so you'll have to come by! Plus - you never know who you'll see in the booth when you drop by. Not just me and CB and Caity and Danielle - make sure you're following me on Twitter 'cause I'll be tweeting fun stuff like mad.

Haven't registered yet? Have I got a contest for YOU - We have 5 FULL REGISTRATION passes to hand out!

Come back tomorrow AM to see the contest - and make sure you come see us in Booth 1260 in the MGM Grand Marquee Ballroom - right next to Jolie Wraps. We LOVE our friends Stan & Jeanette Liu of Jolie Wraps.

Food Coma Friday!

Share with http://mim.io/51597

It's the day after Thanksgiving. Have your significant other or the kids find the remote under the couch cushions while you get in on this sale - because it's only for one day, and like leftovers, the best parts will be going quickly!

We'll be taking down the larger sizes first - so make sure you get your placeholders or images in first thing! The sales lasts from MIDNIGHT NOVEMBER 25 to MIDNIGHT NOVEMBER 26....

NO COUPON CODES REQUIRED!! Just log in to your account, choose Products/Canvas and start saving. We're making it REALLY easy for you, because who needs to really do any mental heavy lifting the day after Thanksgiving, right?

All Canvases Are Legacy, 1.5"

2. HOW DO I USE A PLACEHOLDER?
Copy any of the lovely graphics on this newsletter - like any of the images here, like my sleepy son up there or just use something that you KNOW WE WON'T PRINT. Upload THAT instead of an image when you place your order. When you're ready, email us your image with the order number and BOOYAH! Your order will be on the way!

3. CAN I APPLY MY ARTIST DISCOUNT TO THE SALE?
Ummmmm.... no. I can't pay my employees with pumpkin pie and stuffing. My Uncle Fred, yes.

To ensure timely Holiday delivery without a rush fee, please have your orders placed by Midnight Wednesday December 8th.

This means we MUST HAVE IMAGES - not placeholders by the 8th.

Orders after the 8th will require a Holiday Rush Fee. The tighter you cut it, the higher it goes. I'm just sayin'.

Caity and Dani would LOVE to talk with you and either ease your fears about ordering canvas for the first time, or work out a wicked new wall display you've had banging around in your noggin for a while.

That's why we're here - we're your parters.
You shoot the hotness, we print the amazing canvas/ metals/ fine art papers.

...and of course, the rubber duck. *snerk*

All items (except 8x10 metals) are discounted in their regular category. You don't have to participate in the sale to get these discounts.

Can I Use This With Other Discount Codes or Coupons?

Canvas Collections and Wall Gallery Templates - SALE

It's about as easy as herding cats or nailing Jello to a tree, right? And your customers, while they nod politely, pretty much stare at you and have NO idea what you're talking about.

We are SO excited to bring you a great offer from Ariana Falerni - 25% off her amazing Wall Guides! These easy to use guides will take all the guesswork out of your canvas sales! And yes - FINALLY you'll be able to show your clients just how small an 8x10 canvas is above their couch. Really really.

Pixel2Canvas, Me Ra Koh, and The Nate Berkus Show

2010-09-15T11:20:00.000-07:00

Yes. He IS amazingly hot!

I've known about this for a while now, and am now able to tell you about this incredible story with my dear friend Me Ra Koh and Nate Berkus!

BUT FIRST - Tune in TOMORROW, THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 16 on NBC and watch Me Ra with Nate! You'll see a gorgeous canvas as well!

I've known Me Ra for a few years now - right as she was getting signed on with Sony - just before her rise to stardom began!

We were blessed to work with Me Ra when Nate did the "Nate Builds A Dream House" episode for Oprah. The Hale-Jos' story is amazing - click here to see the videos.

When the house was done, there was one huge element tying the kitchen and living area together - a huge 4 foot by 6 foot canvas of the four children. It was Nate's favorite photo in the whole house, and we were honored to provide it for them. Click here for the link to Me Ra's site where she talks a bit about the show. It was certainly surreal to see our canvas on Oprah!

I can't tell you much about tomorrow's show, except that you WILL see a canvas from yours truly. You've just GOT to watch! Me Ra was MADE to be in front of a TV camera, teaching women how to shoot and capture those incredible life moments. And the way she interacts with Nate is awesome - huge chemistry!

You have GOT to watch!

We'll have another newsletter on Friday to celebrate the show - and of course you get the presents!

After you watch the show, please come back here and post your comments! We'd love to hear your thoughts!

A Hole In One!

2010-09-10T10:51:00.000-07:00

I LOVE getting emails with images of people with their canvases, metals, etc. Here's one I got today that I was SUPER excited for!

It's from Susan Austin, of Austin Images - here's what she had to say:

"Hey P2C team!

My husband, Gary, is between a 2 & a 4 handicap golfer.

Earlier this year he ventured to Palm Desert with 3 of his buddies for an annual golf trip

where he got his first "Hole In One" EVER!

The day before he actually got his hole in one, while waiting for the golfers ahead of them

to leave the green...he photographed the very hole from the tee box.

Our 12th anniversary is 9/11 and this gorgeous, 10x20 metal reminder of that moment arrived the day before! (This was on the white aluminum satin...so yummy!)

Thank you so much for all you do!

Susan Austin

Austin Images Photography

CONGRATULATIONS to Jenne Dunham - Jenne Dunham Photography of Petaluma CA - she's won the $200 Apple Gift Card from our Back to School Sale!

Back To School Sale - And An Apple For You!

2010-08-27T07:38:00.000-07:00

Here's the deal. Now through Monday August 30th enjoy 30% off ALL CANVAS and FINE ART prints from Pixel2Canvas.

Use Coupon Code SCHOOL30 upon checkout.

While you can certainly purchase Metals and ChromaLuxe panels during the sale, they do not qualify for the discount. They're already at a ridiculously low price!

Retro? Yea. But I love it!

Here's a fun twist to our sale:

Place your ENTIRE order using actual images - not placeholders - and you'll be put in the running for a $200 Apple Gift Card!

The winner will be announced on
Thursday, September 2nd.

The Apple Store - one of my FAV places!

1. CAN I USE A PLACEOLDER?
YES - you can ALWAYS use a placeholder with our sales.

2. IS THERE A TIME LIMIT ON USING THE PLACEHOLDERS?
NO - there is no time limit to redeem the canvas(es) or products. We have your money, and assume that eventually you'll want your stuff. We'll call you on occasion to nag you if you don't upload your images in a few months.

3. HOW DO I USE A PLACEHOLDER?
Copy any of the lovely Apple graphics on this newsletter, or just use something that you KNOW WE WON'T PRINT. Upload THAT instead of an image when you place your order. When you're ready, email us your image with the order number and BOOYAH! Your order will be on the way!

4. CAN I APPLY MY ARTIST DISCOUNT TO THE SALE?
Ummmmm.... no. I can't pay my employees with gummi bears. My kids, now THAT is a different story. *snerk*

Do. Not. Click. Here. Do Not Pass Go. Do Not Collect $200. *snerk*

Questions? Comments? Need to know stuff like if plaids go with stripes? Give us a call!!

Bathroom Canvas

I just ADORE my partner photogs.

Today we got this email from Willow Meitus of Willow Dawn Photography.

It was titled, "You Still Rock"

"Not that I'm surprised or anything. But I just wanted to share a pic of my latest canvas that your team knocked out of the park for me. My husband (who rarely notices when I add/change things) sent me an email -

"The picture over the toilet in the bathroom is most excellent... that's one of my favorite rooms in the house... :o) "

Thanks for doing what you do, the way you do it!

Thank you SO MUCH Willow! You made my day!

SuperSize Me Sale!

2010-08-11T11:48:00.000-07:00

I LOVE Monty Python. I HAD to do it!

Of course, since my brain in just wired differently than most people (must be why I was born on April Fool's Day) when I needed an image for our SuperSize Me Sale, I thought of Mr. Creosote, the Restaurant Critic from Monty Python's Meaning of Life. Honestly - if he doesn't define supersize, I don't know what does!

Today - RIGHT NOW - through Midnight PST on Saturday, August 14, enjoy HUGE savings on the following canvases:

20x30, 24x36, 30x40 and 40x60 Gallery Wraps.

...and don't forget to get your FREE GIFT when you order! What is it you ask?

You can get a 5x7 ChromaLuxe Panel w/Easel

Like my Doggie Template? Let me know and I'll share it!

OR you can get an 8x10 Metal Panel - choose your finish from Sheer Gloss or Satin, or White Gloss or Satin

Just LOOK at how CRISP the backs of our canvases are!

Did I mention in our last newsletter that Pixel2Canvas DOES NOT CHARGE for:

Backing Paper
Hanging Hardware
Cloning for Image Wraps
Extra Photoshop work
Adding Borders - colored or patterns
The most AWESOME corners on the planet
EXCELLENT customer service - and of course - the ducks!

If you're currently using another vendor because they're "cheaper" - look into the hidden costs. You'll be quite surprised.

The OTHER Guys...

Now WHO doesn't love a pretty light blue box!

We LOVE our partner photographers - and to show our appreciation, we're giving you
a Gift with Purchase!

They're also great to put in your product line - I'm sure MANY parents and grandparents would love seeing these under the tree!

Here are a couple of images of the 5x7 ChromaLuxe Panel with easel - it's a collage I made of our dog Koda. The images in the collage were taken by my dear friend Carey Schumacher of San Diego Barefoot Memories - if you're ever near San Diego and need a family shot, she's AMAZING! Tell her I sent you.

These are FANTASTIC gifts - and isn't he adorable?

And the Metal Panels - just LOVELY!

For the 8x10 metals, you need to purchase the ice block, frosted frame or

wood hanging blocks separately. You can also add your logo on the back if you wish!

This is the Damask background - with Kristen's logo, and it's sitting on an Ice Block

Our 4 sizes of Ice Blocks - 8", 10", 11" and 14"

Wood Mounting Blocks for the Metal Panels

There are 4 types of Metal Panels - please specify in your notes which you prefer:
