Partnership Provides Low Cost Professional Photography for All Promotional Needs

PROVIDENCE, RI– To help its members gain greater influence through effective promotion, Manufacturing Jewelers and Suppliers of America (MJSA) now offers discounted photographic services for both print and Web formats.

Through JewelServ, a New York City-based firm specializing in jewelry photography, members can order color-corrected digital photography ready for use in catalogs, brochures, and other promotional pieces, as well as on Web sites—all at over 50 percent off the standard rate.

“ Superb photography is one of the keys to any successful promotional effort—customers want to see what they are buying, and products need to be put in the best light,” said MJSA President/CEO James F. Marquart. “Through this new program, companies of all sizes can achieve a sophisticated look at substantial savings. It is just one more example of how MJSA members are truly ‘Stronger Together.’”

For MJSA members photographing fewer than 25 pieces, the cost is as low as $50 per piece. For high-volume orders (25 pieces and above), the cost drops again to as low as $25 per piece. JewelServ supplies both a close-up and full-size digital image of each piece. Customers receive a compact disc containing print-ready Photoshop files and, Web-ready J-PEG images, as well as one printed copy of each piece.

JewelServ is a professional photography company specializing in jewelry photography since 1996. Customers include many jewelry manufacturing and designers such as Charles Winston, Nordstrom.com, Paula DeLuca, and Sony Soap City, to name a few.
