Great Holiday Ideas!

2009-11-19T15:05:00.007-05:00

Hi everyone!

We have been quite busy getting ready for the holidays and launching some new products! If you've been a follower, you may also notice that we've completely redone our blog!! We hope you like it!

We wanted to let you know that we've launched 2 very exciting new

products just in time for the holidays! If you're interested in either of them (or any of our other products) just email us at info@wecraftforyou.com and we'll gladly answer any questions you may have!

Our VIRTUAL HOLIDAY CARDS are the perfect way to affordably spread some holiday cheer while "staying green!" We have recently posted some samples, which you can find here! They have become very popular and we are selling 2 versions:

:30 virtual card is $12

:60 virtual card is $15

You send us a few pictures, choose your holiday music and we'll send you a customized mini-montage that you can email out to your friends and family to spread the holiday cheer! They are also great to post onto social networking sites like Facebook and/or your website/blogs!

They are very affordable and better yet, don't take up any of your time! Just email us a few pictures and then forward on the file. You won't spend anytime addressing envelopes and they won't get thrown away at the end of the season! Better yet, you pay 1 price and email out to as many people as you'd like!!

You can order as early or as late in the holiday season as you want - since they are emailed - there is no worrying about shipping charges/times!

Our UNIQUE PHOTO CALENDARS are our newest products that we're offering! Typical photo calendars are created at one time and therefore the pictures become outdated...fast! We have created calendars that fix that!

These calendars are 8.5" x 11" double sided fill color bi-monthly calendars printed on 61 lb photo supreme matte paper. We use a special printer to ensure photo quality is superb. When you place an order for one of these calendars, we will immediately get started on creating your first 2 months. Then, we will send you an email every other month reminding you to email us a few pictures for the next 2 months. So, the pictures are always current!

These calendars are durable but light enough to tack up at the office and/or display on the fridge. Since it's only piece of paper, you won't ever have a problem keeping it up!

They can be customized however you'd like so feel free to provide as much or as little insight as you desire!

These calendars are currently being sold for $60 for the year (just $5/month) but we're running a holiday special for just $48 (just $4/month). Shipping costs are included and a 7% sales tax will only be applied if you live in NJ.

We'd love to hear your thoughts on these 2 new products! Contact us to get yours today! Be sure to stop by our website and see what else we have to offer: http://www.wecraftforyou.com

Dylan's First Year

2009-10-05T21:55:00.006-04:00

Hi Ricki!

Here is the video that we created to capture Dylan's 1st Year. We hope you like it! If you have any questions, let us know. If anything is mislabled or you want something adjusted, let us know so we can adjust in time to get it out for his party.

Our watermark is located on the bottom right corner and will be removed before we burn to DVD.

Enjoy!

An update!

2009-09-23T16:39:00.002-04:00

Hi everyone!

We just wanted to take a few minutes to update everyone on what we've been up to. Things are starting to pick up and we're very excited about that! Word of Mouth is working well and we're starting to get referral orders which are the best!

In the past few weeks, we've had the pleasure of creating numerous montages for different people/occasions. We're so happy to have the opportunity to create these special montages for people so that they can look back on the special times in their lives for years to come!

We've created an anniversary montage, a baby's 1st year montage, a promotional video for a Scrapbooking Company, a montage for a couple's wedding and even created a cute little montage of someone's cute little puppies! We had our first order for a photo book and it came out great!We love hearing all the comments from the recipients - how happy they are with their products and that makes us happy!

As you may be aware, we're also looking to work with schools, organizations and charities to help them raise money. We recently had the opportunity to attend the Food Allergy walk in Long Branch and are currently working on video that they will proudly display on their website. Additionally, we are also going to make the video available on DVD for people to buy and we're going to be donating a portion of the proceeds to FAAN!

We're also currently hosting a fundraiser at My Gym Children's Fitness Center in Manalapan where we're raffling off 2 of our services. So far, we've heard great things from the owners - people are buying tickets and we're happy to be able to help raise money for the My Gym Foundation. 100% of the proceeds will go to the foundation.

Additionally, we're in talks with some other organizations/foundations to create montages for them and are hopeful that we can help them raise some money for their causes!

If that isn't enough, we're in talks with a school to create a video yearbook for them! Keep your fingers crossed that all the details are worked out and we get the "job." And we're planning on attending a scrapbook weekend convention in October where we will be a vendor! We'll be on site taking orders and creating montages for those in attendance - we can't wait!

We can go on and on about all the things that we have cooking up but we really should get back to work! If we can be of help to you in anyway - let us know!

Keep making memories!
The We Craft For You Team!

Hi everyone!

We wanted to share this montage we created for a couple's 9th Wedding Anniversary. Believe it or not, it was the husband who got all the pictures to us as a present for his wife! Is she not the luckiest girl in the world?!

Enjoy!

A day in NYC!

2009-09-16T21:02:00.012-04:00

Yesterday, I had the pleasure of going into the city (NYC) for the day with my son, to visit some old friends and family. We had a blast! I created this short montage to share what a great time we had and to show how a montage by We Craft For You can really capture the memories of any occasion - even a short day trip!

Thank you to everyone we saw yesterday - love and miss you all!

Sample Montage played at a Bridal Shower

2009-08-31T20:03:00.010-04:00

Below is a sample montage played at a bridal shower. This was a surprise to the bride as her mom worked with us to create this montage.

This was created before we were using our new, professional software, so there are no effects. This version is still available though, should you not be interested in our other options.

Here is a testimonial from the bride herself:

I received a video montage for my bridal shower. We showed it at the shower and it was all everyone could talk about. The montage was so personalized and captured all the special moments of my life. The music songs that were chosen were ideal and added so much. I know this is a video I will watch for years to come. I decided after that to create a montage for my mom's birthday. Once again, the video turned out to be amazing. We Craft For You really took the time to make the montages personal and brought my photos to life!

If you are interested in having us create a montage for either yourself or a friend, send us an email and we'll be glad to work with you! Email: info@wecraftforyou.com

Check out our website for more information: http://www.wecraftforyou.com

FAAN (Food Allergy & Anaphylaxis Network) and the Allergy Awareness/Nut Free Baseball Game with the Lakewood Blueclaws!

2009-08-12T07:39:00.014-04:00

We wanted to share this great montage we created on behalf of FAAN, an organization with a mission to raise public awareness, to provide advocacy and education, and to advance research on behalf of all those affected by food allergies and anaphylaxis.

Like any other foundation, they hold events to raise money for their cause and recently had a great time with the Lakewood Blueclaws in Lakewood, NJ. Together, with the Blueclaws, FAAN and all their supporters attended the Allergy Awareness and Nut Free Baseball game on August 4th 2009 where the stadium agreed to suspend the sales of any nuts at the game! They even cleaned down the seats for them and really made the event safe for everyone with food allergies!

Did you know how common food allergies in America is?

More than 12 million Americans (1 in ever 25, have food allergies)

Of that 12 million, 3.1 million are children!

The number has doubled in the US over the past 10 years and scientists do not know why!

Food allergies are very serious can be more than just hives - an allergic reaction can be deadly!

As you'll see from the video, everyone had a great time at the game and they are now looking forward to their annual Walk for Food Allergies which will be held on September 12th 2009 in Long Branch, NJ. Be sure to check out their website for more information - and please make a donation - every penny counts!

http://www.foodallergywalk.org/longbranch_nj

If you are a part of an organization and are looking to raise money, please contact us as we've just launched our 2 charitable causes: We Craft Cares and We Craft Supports! We are here to help raise money by sponsoring raffles, drives and even providing our services *free of charge.

Check out our website for more info: http://www.wecraftforyou.com

The Launch of We Craft Cares!

2009-07-30T16:29:00.002-04:00

We're extremely excited to introduce We Craft Cares! We Craft For You has decided to team up with charities and organizations around the nation to help raise awareness and money!

We're looking to work with charities around the country to hold raffles where people will enter for a chance to win a free montage! A portion of the proceeds will be donated to the charity!

Additionally, we're looking to do the same thing in schools across the country to help raise money for the school. Camps, leagues, offices and other such organizations can also hold these types of raffles to raise money for their organization as well. Or, if they wish - the money can be donated to a charity of their choice!

Another way for schools, camps and other large organizations to raise money is to "hire" We Craft For You to create photo/video montages for them. We will not be charging and fee for our services and will create a photo/video montage for anything you'd like: end of the year gifts, digital yearbooks, sports teams, clubs etc. The montages will be burned to DVD and sold to parents/members for a nominal fee and a portion of these proceeds will be given to the organization.

If you like what you see and are interested, send us an email at info@wecraftforyou.com and be sure to check out our website We Craft For You and our We Craft Cares page for more information!

Every penny counts and we're hoping that with our help we can one day find a cure for some of these terrible diseases!!!

Our Products/Services

2009-07-14T14:54:00.013-04:00

With all the expanding we've done lately, we wanted to make sure that everyone was aware of all our services! In this blog, we're going to outline all our services and then will be sure to do specific product blogs in the coming days that detail the products/services.

Video Montages/Photo Slideshows:

Our video montages/photo slideshows are great gifts for any occasion you can think of:

- Birthdays

- New Arrivals

- Religious Events/Milestones

- Graduations

- Mother's Day/Father's Day

- Holidays

- Year in Review

- Bridal/Baby Showers

- Engagements

- Proposals

- Memorials/Honors

The list goes on and on. A video montage is way for you to capture memories from a specific moment in time. Your pictures/videos are set to music and create a beautiful way for you to remember the special times. Photo slideshows are similar, though video can not be included.

Video to DVD Conversion

We take your precious memories from VHS tapes and convert them to DVD so that you can continue to relive the special times over and over again with your loved ones. We can convert the footage straight onto DVD or edit it as you wish creating an interactive menu where you select the scene in which you'd like to view.

They are great ways to capture the memories of important events such as the birth of a baby. We have a variety of sizes and formats to choose from. We can do all the work or if you wish, we can help you create your own. It's all up to you!

Our First Bridal Expo - a HUGE success!

2009-07-14T14:39:00.011-04:00

On June 24, 2009, We Craft For You attended it's first bridal expo. We had our very own table sandwiched between a DJ and a catering venue. For our first time out, we didn't know what to expect, but came away pleasantly surprised!

All in all, the event was a huge success. Even though it rained, we still had over 100 brides attend with their fiances, parents, sisters and friends. We had a great turnout!

Not knowing what to expect, we planned as best we could all the while knowing it would be a great learning experience if nothing else.

We had our very own banner draped across the table so that people knew who were were when they approached us. A computer sat in the middle of the table, as the focal point, playing a continuous loop of montage samples. Surrounding the computer, we had placed DVD case samples, our price list and offerings, and our brochures. Our invitation books were set on the side for people to look through. We had a bowl of candy which ended up being a very useful networking tool and our raffle bowl.

Not realizing that the event was holding its own raffle, we brought a bowl for ourselves to do a raffle. In the end, we ended up raffling off 2 prizes:

Bridal Shower Montage (10 minute video with up to 100 pictures: retail value of $60)

$25 Gift Card to be used towards any of our services

Being a WAHM, this event was huge! Being able to get out there and talk to people about our services and get their feedback was amazing. We received a lot of great feedback from people who were interested in using us in the future and also received some great tips on new ideas.

We positioned ourselves first and foremost as an affordable alternative to a videographer. Now a days, people don't have the money to spend an extra $3,000 - $5,000 (on top of their photographer) to pay for a videographer. So we're offering to create montages that we burn to DVD from their pictures/videos that they send us. We're able to provide a huge savings since we're not attending their wedding to take pictures/videos.

Our 3 wedding packages are as follows:

Short & Sweet Package: 30 minutes; 250 pictures: $375

All the Good Stuff Recap Package: 45 minutes, 400 pictures, $475

Remember it All Recap Package: 60 minutes, 500 pictures, $575

Each of the wedding packages come with 3 copies on DVD. Additionally, we have a shorter "Bridal Shower Package" which is 10 minutes long and includes up to 100 pictures. It is sold for $59.95. Any of our montages can easily include video if available.

All in all, this event was a huge success and we can't wait to attend the next one! We will be sure to post a calendar on where you can come see us, should you be in the area!

Till next time!

Kicking off our new blog!

2009-07-14T13:57:00.023-04:00

Welcome to our newly revamped blog! We're so glad you've found us!

We Craft For You is a business that started back in September 2008 from a passion for photographs and memories. We began creating customized video montages and photo slideshows for all occasions and quickly saw that our service was a unique one. True, we're not the only ones out there who create montages, but we're the only ones who have our exceptional customer service and passion for what we're doing.

We have very affordable prices because we know that these are

tough economic times, so we are also offering FREE SHIPPING on our montages and slideshows (some restrictions apply.)

In the Spring of 2009 we expanded our services to include

video to DVD conversion and photo books. We now can take your old VHS tapes and convert your memories to DVD so that you will can relive the "good ole days!" Our photo books are one of a kind. You can tell an entire story in any of our customized photo books.

And most recently, in the Summer of 2009, we branched out even further to offer Invitations, Save the Dates, Thank You cards, Announcements, and Favors for various occasions. While this service is certainly not unique, we felt that by including it

we could offer people additional discounts, again offering savings in this terrible economy.

And now that our website is almost complete, we've begun to work on updating our blog. We will continue to talk about what we're up to but will also look to provide you with other great sites out there. We also are planning to hold some online contests/giveaways as we gain more exposure...so stay tuned! We're in for what we hope to be an exciting ride!
