Make the most of your Santa photo events with custom paper picture frames.
The Christmas season seems to start earlier each year, and it’s easy to understand why. Christmas is a big part of our culture and a holiday that many people look forward to.
Every November Santa cheerfully shows up at malls, stores, town squares, tree lighting ceremonies, and holiday parties. He even shows up at restaurants for special “Breakfast with Santa” events (or even dinner with Santa!), which attract the whole family for a morning of fun, food, and festivities.
All of these Santa events share one thing in common: photos.
It is no surprise that many people make it a family tradition to visit Mr. Claus and his elves for their holiday picture. His image is iconic, and having that special photo of the kids on Santa’s lap is priceless.
These events draw hundreds, even thousands of people to businesses nationwide, making this an excellent opportunity to connect with customers, neighbors, and friends during the holiday season.
Some businesses offer the holiday photos as a complimentary service to their customers. Other venues may charge for a printed photo, often times donating the proceeds to a local food pantry or charity in the spirit of the season. In fact, photos with Santa have become a popular fundraiser activity for many organizations.
So if you’re taking pictures with Santa at your event, we have some inexpensive Christmas giveaway ideas for you.
Protect Your Photos with Santa Visit Photo Holders
Presenting photos with Santa in an inexpensive paper or cardboard photo frame protects the photos from fingerprints and accidental rips. It’s also a great way to market your business or event because you can personalize them with your event info or company logo, making these Santa picture souvenirs not just practical for holding event photos, but also effective marketing tools.
There are three main styles of card stock Santa visit photo holders.
Christmas Photo Insert Cards & Holiday Photo Frame Cards
Photo frame Christmas greeting cards make an instant, stylish frame for your 4×6 prints. Just slide your photo under the window frame border—no glue or tape needed!
Archival-quality and acid-free, your photographs are protected and can be used in scrapbooks and photo albums. These Christmas photo cards can even be inserted into a traditional 5″ x 7″ picture frame. The paper border acts as an instant mat for your photo.
Studio Style has two photo frame card options for your visit with Santa pictures: Christmas photo insert cards or blank photo insert cards.
Paper Photo Folders
Santa photo folders hold your picture on the inside, and the cover protects the print from dust, fingerprints, and creases.
Photo folders are especially nice when the customer is going to be carrying the photo home, as photo folders protect their pictures better than photo insert cards might. These Santa photo folders also stand up on a desk for easy display.
Studio Style has dozens of Christmas photo folder designs to choose from. From a jolly Santa to yummy peppermint candies, we’re sure you can find a design to coordinate with your event décor.
But we have a little something extra for you: you can add your own personalization to these folders. We can print or foil stamp your company logo, event branding, or special message.
Designer tip: Are you sponsoring a Santa visit event? Consider ordering printed Christmas photo folders. Personalization on these designs is free, and we can add your logo to the back cover if the front cover is filled with the event branding.
Cardboard Picture Frames
These look much like your traditional picture frame, but are made of heavy paperstock, smooth cardstock, sturdy cardboard, or thick mat board. All of our photo frames has some sort of easel back so you can easily display your event photos on your desk, mantel, or end table.
All of our frames are available blank. Want something unique to your event? Add your Santa visit event details or logo in beautiful metallic foil. Or, if you need to go all-out with your event branding, we have full-color, custom printed paper picture frames.
Paper photo frames make an affordable yet upscale giveaway option for the holiday season. We even have Instax, Instax Mini, Instax Square, and Polaroid frames for your Christmas event.
Do I need Santa visit photo holders?
If you’re hiring an event photographer or printing pictures onsite, your guests will appreciate having something to get their photos home in. Here’s why:
Sliding an event photo into a paper frame or folder creates an instant photo souvenir. With your logo or event name on it, this photo holder also becomes a reminder of your business or event. What a great promotional product giveaway for the holiday season!
Photo folders protect from fingerprints, dust, food smudges… and they fit in a large purse. Whether you’re running the photo booth or are an event photographer printing photos onsite, give event guests an easy way to get their photos safely home.
