foamnumbers.com vendor giveaway

This week's featured vendor is Foam Numbers & Photography Props.  What a great little shop!!  I didn't even know this company existed until I was doing a search for number sets that were cheaper than the big name companies without skimping on quality and durability.





Here is a little about the company:  

Our products were designed for the professional photographer who wants to give their customers a great way to capture birthdays and graduations with our various numbers and to capture names and events with our letters. They can be painted with a waterbased paint to fit your needs.

FoamNumbers.com offers a large variety of large numbers as well as smaller numbers - perfect for any size photography studio. We also offer a set of foam letters (A-Z) which are great when spelling out kids names! In addition to the numbers and letters, we also have specialty graduation props!!

FoamNumbers.com can also make custom shapes. Please contact us for more information regarding our foam prop design service.

More ways to contact our featured vendor:  website OR email

Welcome!

I just want to take a minute to say thank you to all of my new fans!!!  I appreciate each and every one of you.  If it weren't for you then SSS wouldn't be nearly as successful as it has been in such a short period of time.  Of course, entering my business into a couple great giveaways has certainly helped to increase my fan base and sales.  That is why I have started my own giveaways.  A couple businesses took a chance with my business when I had less than 20 fans!!!  I want to return the favor.

Our first vendor giveaway is Nicole Ferrante of Shutter Designs by Moms.  Nicole has graciously donated a fringe blanket prop valued at $70!  The winner of this contest will receive their own custom prop made especially for them.  To learn more about this giveaway please check it out here.  Be sure to enter soon because the giveaway ends Sun 8/7 at 8pm CT. 

Five more wonderful vendors have joined the weekly vendor giveaway!  A new vendor will be featured every Sunday immediately following the close of the current week's giveaway and winner announcement.  I hope to keep this going as long as possible to help fellow photographers build up their prop stash for FREE and help fellow business owners connect with more customers/fans!  So if you, or someone you know, has a business they would like to have featured in our weekly giveaways, please send me a private email with a link to your page, what you would like to donate, and a brief explanation of your business and I will send you more information on what is required and needed from you in order to participate.  I am looking for lots of variety and mostly photography oriented vendors ...of course if you have something that would make a photographer's life easier or make them feel beautiful then please do not hesitate to contact me. 

Again, thank you followers, fans, & customers for making SSS such a success!  <3
