I remember when this time of year was full of trips to Payless to get school supplies and lunch boxes, to the mall to get school and sport uniforms, fresh haircuts, and arranging for carpools and after school care. It seems like yesterday and a million years ago all at the same time. If you find yourself in the throws of all that, slow down, enjoy and remember you’ll never have the chance to do it over. Your kids will remember it – and so will you.

Whether you’re shopping for kids, heading back to college or just taking advantage of everyone being back in school, keep Adesso Albums in mind for your next event. It’s a sure fire way to make every special occasion even more memorable.

Enjoy the rest of your summer!

UK Distributor On Board!
Adesso Albums has signed a definitive agreement with Instant Forever, Ltd. for exclusive distribution rights in the UK. The founder of Instant Forever, Helen Rankin, used an Adesso Album at her wedding in July and was so enthusiastic about it, she approached us with the idea of servicing the UK market and we couldn’t think of a better person to represent us in the UK!

Trade press o'plenty!
Adesso Albums were recently featured in the two top trade magazines to the stationery and gift markets – Greetings etc. and Paper & Party Retailer. This is the second time the album has been featured in each publication – something we’re quite proud of. Many thanks to Kathy Krassner and Heidi Schmidt for their continued support!

What Are the Advantages of Polaroid vs Digital Photos and Vice Versa?

Let's be honest...you're not going to get a professional grade photo in a Polaroid instant photo. That’s the disadvantage of Polaroids but it’s not the point. Polaroids are fun, easy, completely instant, one of a kind photos that you get to take with you as soon as the event is over. That's the point.

As much as we’d all like it to be, digital photography just plain isn’t instant. Your camera needs to communicate with a printing device, and that can be troublesome, and often time consuming. That said, you can print as many copies as you want, share them with friends and family online, or keep them on the storage card or on your desktop..

So what’s the conclusion? Well, if your intent is to capture the magic of an event while it’s happening and leave with pictures and sentiments of guests in hand, there’s really only one easy, fun and completely instant way to do it – with an Adesso Album for Polaroids!
