Action-Image is here to help your
budding athlete and encourage their
continued participation in sport.
We are the right choice for your child's
sport association because:
- There is no need for you to purchase photographs of your child in advance of photo day.
- There is no requirement for you to make any purchases unless you are 100% satisfied with the preview images on the order form that is given to you at the time of shooting.
- All photos and photo-gifting products are customized to your child's sport, team colors and logos, age, sex and language.
- Photo excellence is guaranteed. Use of professional photographers, full digital capture, and professional imagery and artwork ensure that only high quality photographs and photo-related products are produced.
- Pricing is competitive.
- If Action-Image is contracted to provide photography services for an entire association, athletes will receive a complimentary customized 4x6 photograph on which their name, jersey number and team logo is present. Coaches will also receive a complimentary team photo.
- Parents wishing to purchase additional photographs can do so with the order form that is produced on site within minutes of the athlete's photo being taken. This order form is customized to the sport, age, sex, league, team and language of the player.
- There is no need for parents to purchase restrictive “Packages.” All products can be purchased in quantities specified by the parent.
- All standard photo products will be available for purchase onsite within minutes of the athlete being photographed. Once an order is placed, photographs and photo-related products (e.g., personalized coffee mugs) will be shipped to the purchaser within five business days.
- Because our image capture, production and sales processes are fully automated, the requirement for coach involvement is minimal. Coaches can therefore remain focused on coaching your child – rather than collecting payment for photo packages, sorting envelopes, etc.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can Action-Image customize artwork templates to include a sports association and/or team’s logo? Absolutely. Artwork templates can be customized for all of Action-Image’s photographs and photo-related products. We design the theme with you based on your corporate identity manual and it is applied consistently across all products.
Is Action-Image able to produce products such as trading cards, magnets, key chains, novelty tickets, calendars, magazine covers, and individual and team photographs? Yes. Action-Image can produce each of these products. Samples of individual/team photographs and photo-related products appear below. All will have a consistent color theme and will be customized for the athlete's sport.
How will your products and services help to promote team spirit and increase familiarity amongst players? Action-Image specializes in producing customized trading photographs. Professional artwork templates can include the association or team’s name, logo and colours, along with the athlete’s name and jersey number. By trading (and autographing) these photographs with other team members, athletes will increase their familiarity with one another, and feel a great sense of pride in being part of the team. These photographs are also a great keepsake for parents and grandparents alike!
What types of packages does Action-Image offer? In an effort to increase flexibility for parents, Action-Image does not offer its products in restrictive packages. All products can be purchased in the quantities you specify.
What is Action-Image’s turnaround time? Once an order is placed, photographs and photo-gifting products will be shipped to you within five business days.
My child is fairly camera shy. How will you ensure that a good image of him/her is captured? We employ a staff of professional photographers that have years of experience eliciting smiles from the faces of children and adults. Full digital capture ensures that high-quality, professional photographs are taken of your child. If necessary, we will continue taking shots of your child until a good image is captured.
What if I’m not satisfied with my child’s photograph? Our system distinguishes itself from other companies because parents can see right away what the final product looks like. An order form like the one below is printed within a minute of the child's photo being taken. They see themselves already mocked-up on the player trading cards, the mouse pads and the coffee mugs and whatever other products your sport association wishes to offer. There are no surprises when the final product arrives.
We ensure that high-quality, professional photographs are taken at image capture. Necessary colour adjustments are made immediately following photograph. If not fully satisfied with the preview images on the paper order form or our website, purchase is not required. If you are not happy with your child’s photograph, you can contact us and we will attempt to re-photograph your child at another scheduled photo shoot.
How do I go about purchasing photographs if sports associations and/or coaches are not required to collect payment? Within minutes of taking an athlete's photograph, they will receive a print-out of their image(s) and a limited of photo and photo-gifting products available for purchase. This print-out will reference our web address and include a unique “Action Code” that you can use to log onto our site. The paper print-out can also be used as an order form if you do not have internet access and/or a credit card. You can also purchase onsite using this paper order form and pay by cash, cheque or credit card.
Note: If Action-Image is contracted to provide photography services for an entire school or association, athletes will receive a customized 4x6 photograph on which their name, jersey number and association logo is present. Coaches will also receive a complimentary team photo.
What if I do not have an internet connection and/or a credit card to view and purchase photographs and photo-gifting products? Those that do not have an internet connection and/or credit card can purchase photographs and photo-gifting products by completing the order form on the back of the print-out provided at the time of photographing. Payment can be made with cash, money order or cheque.
What if I would like to order additional photographs or photo-related products of my child at some point in the future? Action-Image will keep all photos of your child on our database for three months. You will be able to purchase additional photographs and photo-gifting products throughout this time period. If desired, you can change the shipping address so that photographs and photo-gifting products are delivered to a gift recipient.
If ordering online, do I need to place my order during normal business hours? No. You will have access to Action-Image’s online “Shopping Cart” twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week.
If I am able to view photographs of my child online, will others also be able to view these images? Absolutely not! Action-Image protects the security of all images in its possession. Once photographed, each athlete will receive a print-out of his/her image(s) and a sample of photographs and photo-gifting products available for purchase. This print-out will reference our web address and include a unique user ID and password that you can use to log onto our site. Only you will have access to the images taken of your child (and his/her customized photographs and photo-gifting products).
What if my former spouse would also like to order photographs or photo-gifting products of our child? Do we have to share the same User ID and password? No. If you and your former spouse would both like to order photographs or photo-related products of your child, please contact us and we will provide you with a second “Action Code.”
