Personal Gift Ideas
Anniversaries: Find or borrow an old wedding
photo ... keep it a surprise. Peak
Experience Imagery has created wonderful paintings from old photos,
color or black & white. Imagine seeing an old wedding photo transformed into a fine-looking painting.
Think of it as a cheap makeover ... lose 30 pounds, gain back the hairline, muscle tone and glow of youth ... sure beats a
silver tea set.
Weddings: Give the couple a card that says their
gift is on the way. After the wedding, select or borrow a photo of the happy couple and
commission a painting. Yes, your gift will received by the couple well
after the wedding. The best is always saved for last! Your gift will
stand out as
being one of the most personal and thoughtful ... and will be the one most likely to become a family
heirloom.
P.S. End those desperate last minute shopping trips to
find that unattainable 'Perfect Gift' for that 'Perfect Couple'. Brides and grooms ... why not commission a painting of
yourselves for your spouse? A painting, wedding, honeymoon or other,
is a very flattering and personal gift that will be remembered for years to come.
Gardens: Here is an unusual idea for you green
thumb types. For those with hard-to-buy-for gardener friends and family, you
will never have to buy an over-priced, tacky garden knick-knack or gadget again!
Floral paintings are nice.... but
imagine a beautiful painting of your garden or flowers! Just think of the
pleasure of admiring it on a dark, cold winter day ... great inspiration for next year's garden. Even a simple window
box or a vase of fresh cut flowers in your living room makes a great subject for a painting.
Take some overall garden photos as well as floral close-ups and photos of
interesting areas. If your green
thumb is better than your shutter finger, get the help of a
photographically skilled friend. Send us a few photos and we can discuss
which are most suitable.
Why not commission a painting every
year! Soon you will have a collection of original paintings of your garden
and flowers for 2004, 2005, etc. Extra copies are perfect gifts for others who can also
enjoy your garden in their own homes! Also, your painting can be used for
your own Custom Art & Gift Cards.
Pet & Horse Owners:
Until now,
having a commissioned painting of a favorite gerbil or champion horse was only
in the reach
of royalty and the wealthy. Even they had no guarantee that they would be
happy with their painting. Very few artists can match Peak Experience Imagery's "We
are not satisfied until you are satisfied' money back guarantee.
Super gift for hard-to-buy-for friends and family.
Everyone
loves their animals. Kids will be amazed when they receive a painting of
their favorite buddy. Breeders, Kennel clubs, Riding Stables ... think of the possibilities!
Vacation Memories: Whether
you glide through the romantic canals of Venice or splash in the backyard
kiddies pool, fun times make for memorable paintings. Even a mediocre vacation
snapshot is a great subject for a painting that will always remind you of the best of
times.
Sports: A simple shot of a young child with their
soccer ball or an extreme action shot of a snowboarder blasting through a narrow
couloir both make great painting subjects. As part of the process
we can eliminate distracting elements (i.e. telephone posts), dramatize
the action (i.e. steeper and deeper) and generally add pizzazz to a ho-hum
photo.
Toys: No, we're not talking Barbie's' or
Lego... we're talking about big toys, expensive toys, definitely
not-for-kids toys! A prized Ferrari, antique MG, beer glass collection
or your ocean-going racing yacht are all perfect subjects for a commissioned
painting. A perfect way to show off your baby when its in the shop ... or repossessed.
A perfect gift to a "Toy" owner.
Homes and Cottages: Mansion or outhouse, we will make
your abode look better than you can imagine. This is also a perfect thank-you gift for someone's hospitality.
Real Estate
agents, check out the Real Estate section below.
Families and Children: What's to say ...
Old Photos: Those old snaps gathering
dust in the attic are just waiting to come to life. We can do black and white,
old style sepia tones or create a 'hand colored' effect. Minor
scratches, tears, stains and folds are wiped out with our restoration
techniques. Call for an estimate for photos in poor shape.

Corporate and Group Gfit Program Ideas from A to Z:
Advertising: Even the best stock shots
and illustrator's talents have a tough time competing for the public's
attention. If a picture is worth a thousand words, what is a
commissioned painting worth?
The Mona Lisa is royalty free but over-used
... how about some new art to grace the magazines, billboards, web sites and
print materials of the world. Creative people ... put your thinking caps
on and dream of commissioned fine art integrated into your advertising
programs ... and your client's boardrooms.
Alumni: Ivy or Little League, even
the smallest Universities, Colleges, High Schools and Kindergartens can
afford to commission a beautiful painting of their hallowed halls,
Jungle Gym or chancellor. Maybe a large painting for the entrance lobby,
smaller
ones for staff and gifts, and art card reproductions to offer a personal touch to
your
thank-you cards and certificates. Just order what you need .. no
large print runs required.
Great fundraiser!
Bed & Breakfasts, Hotels and Resorts:
Your lobby, meeting rooms and guest rooms are filled with fine art
reproductions. Sure they look great (sorry, but they often don't!) ... but do they really reflect the
locale, the history and the ambience of your facility.
Commissioned
paintings of your facilities, your gardens, your
rooms, the view from your rooms,
your
region and your history will impress even the most jaded world
traveler.
Let your guests know that they can purchase any painting, framed or unframed. Keep extra copies
either framed or in tubes at the gift shop
and front desk. They are easy to mail or take home .... beats a
sweatshirt and offers great promotional value for you. Of
course we are always happy to negotiate a site visit to best capture the look
and feel of your piece of paradise!
Client Appreciation: Your organization's
name will be front and center when your gift is prominently displaced in your
client's offices, lobbies and boardrooms.
Engineers, Architects,
Designers ... Let us create a unique project painting with your
corporate logo tastefully displayed. It will have Infinitely better promotional value
than a pen set and is less expensive than a golf outing. Inexpensive copies
for your employees and offices will highlight your achievements and will be appreciated by staff who have undoubtedly
spent long hours to meet your client's objectives.
Charities and Fundraisers: Commission your own
Limited Edition painting; 10, 100, or more... perfect gift for valued
volunteers and benefactors ... just the thing for auctions, tournaments and special events.
Commissioning a Limited Edition of, for example, 100 prints
doesn't mean that you have pay for all of them right
away. Simply order and pay for the number you need immediately. Additional copies at any future date
are inexpensive and just an email and courier away. You will get the
appropriate volume discount on all re-orders. Subject could be a
flower, a hospital or research facility or something symbolic of your
cause. You get to name the painting!
Cruise Ships: Every cruise ship has its usual
complement of photographers. Tap into a captive audience
with something that is unique and memorable. Needless to say, Peak Experience Imagery
will be glad to negotiate appropriate arrangements for on-site services.
Ditto for luxury resorts and heli-skiing operations.
Dance Clubs: All dressed up
and somewhere to go! Work with a
local photographer to capture great action images of dazzling couples dressed
to the nines. Professional Photographers, you know that quality indoor
action shots are difficult to capture without a studio setting which is often impractical. Our painting techniques can turn an average photo into something beautiful,
memorable and very profitable.
Franchise Operators:
Paintings that you have commissioned from photos of local beauty and interest
distinguish your operation from one across the country. Just because
your franchise's food is consistent around the world, doesn't mean the decor can't have a local flavor.
Besides, you can sell the paintings right off the
wall to tourists and local residents who have an interest and pride in your community, city or region.
Funeral Homes: What can be more
tasteful or thoughtful than a memorial painting commissioned of the recently
deceased. A painting can bring back the most positive
emotions and memories.
Golf Courses: You have beautiful
settings on your course that are special to your guests. Why sell
posters of Pebble Beach when you could commission Peak Experience Imagery to create
a painting of your signature hole that you can display
in your clubhouse and sell as gift cards, prints and limited editions.
Consider a painting of each of your Par Three holes.
Give an art card version of the hole to golfers who have shot a hole-in-one on
it. It will be the talk around many office water coolers. A painting of your clubhouse is perfect for
brochures, trade shows and your internet site.
Interior Decorators: Can't find
that perfect, personal item that will add distinction to your client's home or
office decor? Stop shopping and have Peak Experience Imagery create that
perfect touch that will impress even the most finicky patron. Anything from a family portrait,
a garden, or
a western landscape with your client's gas plant or oil well are appropriate subject material.
Even show homes could use a local touch to distinguish them
from the rest of the parade ... and the paintings will be much more saleable to the local
market after the show home closes. Of course an image from The Art and
Photography of Keith Walker is sure to be a perfect fit to your decor, and
unlikely to have been seen elsewhere as is the case with many 'poster'
reproductions.
Prizes: Winners of tournaments,
championships, races, sales quotas, etc. will all be appreciative of a
painting created from photos of the current or past winning performance.
Gift Certificates work well.
Real Estate Agents, Car Dealers: Your
customers have just made one of the largest purchases of their life. Think of the
pleased reaction when you give them a painting of their old (or new) house or their
new sexy sport car.
Just take a photo of the happy customer with their new baby,
preferably with a decent background.
Your logo and a short caption remind the customer of you when
the sports car gets traded for a minivan and the luxury condo is traded for a
4-bedroom split level in suburbia.
Restaurants: Beautiful decor, smartly dressed
couples, wonderful ambience, exquisite food ... the best of times.
Instead of flowers, why not offer your guests the opportunity to have a photograph taken of
themselves and transformed into a beautiful portrait. A point and shoot
camera will work but perhaps arrangements with a local professional photographer may
be a good option. Your restaurant will be talked about every time
the painting is seen .. and you make profits on the sale of the paintings. You
may want to order an inexpensive copy for your restaurant!
Retirements: A painting of the factory, product or
retiree's pet project will be well appreciated.
This is too important an event for a plaque or engraved beer stein.
Another option is for the
retiree's spouse to sneak a suitable photo from the family album and have us
transform it into a memorable painting that is sure to bring tears of joy at
the company function.
Ski Resorts: Same as golf
courses, except for the hole-in-ones. Some resorts have staff or
contract photographers roaming the mountain. With proper arrangements, photos
taken at the start of a ski vacation could be ready by the end ... or they can
easily be mailed or couriered to their homes anywhere in the world. Peak
Experience Imagery does field visits, depending on work loads ... and snow
conditions!
Sports Teams: Amateur or Professional,
Action shot or group photo; perfect for team members, owners, promotions, web
sites, public areas, fan appreciation, etc. Replace those boring
'head shots' with some great action paintings. With a little creativity, even
the over-weight cigar-chomping team owner can be made to look like a sports
legend!
Zoos: Great facilities, well cared for animals
and grounds, professional, friendly staff, tacky souvenirs. Clear
out the plastic hippos! Peak Experience
Imagery can create stunning paintings of your animals at your facility.
Perfect for gift cards, prints, posters, educational literature, Limited Editions,
gifts for benefactors of a particular animal or habitat, fundraisers, silent auctions,
internet sites and decoration of public areas and meeting rooms.
