Hi Everyone!

I know last you heard from me I was off to a motorcycle race in Monterey and I promised pictures. So here are a couple of my favorites shot with a Nikon D70 with a 70-300mm lens. I don’t think
I did so badly!




Now that I have been back in the office for a while I couldn’t be more excited. We have so many new and exciting things going on here at Albums Inc., I can’t help but share. First of all
I would like to extend a warm welcome to the Wn Albums and Frames customers that are now part of the Albums Inc. family. We are so glad to have you! The merger has meant big things for everyone involved. The teams here in Cleveland as well in Atlanta have all been putting in major hours to help with the increase in business. We are also glad to be bringing Wn customers a variety of new products as well. I know that our catalog can be confusing for new customers and for those who have been working with AI for years but we are here to help. Don’t hesitate to give us a call or drop us an e-mail. We are happy to help in any way that
we can!

I am also very excited about new products coming in 2008! We have been working with some of our vendors to apply what we have heard. I personally have attended about a dozen tradeshows and seminars this year. Everywhere I go I am constantly hearing suggestions
and we love it! We are listening so keep them coming! While we can’t try everything that is suggested we do make an effort to consult with our vendors on what we hear from you, the professional, as to what you need to help your business grow and them implement those suggestions. In the upcoming months you will see new colors and sizes in the self-mount lines, more cost effect CD cases with a contemporary look. New materials will be available
the Renaissance stock line as well as updated versions of old favorites such as the Elan album. Renaissance The Book will also be improving upon the Fine Art album, making the gutter smaller than ever. What’s not to be excited about?

Keep the suggestions coming, my sister Michele and I are familiar faces at trade shows all over the country. So far, 2008 will bring us to 10 tradeshows in about 3 months. Now let me tell you for us that means a lot of hotel rooms, enormous goofy looking suitcases (ours have pink, blue and purple polka-dots and are huge because what girl can bring just one pair of shoes), blow dryers, curling irons, and A LOT of make-up. You can verify with anyone that works
with us, we travel with a lot of “equipment.” We think all of that traveling is worth it just to see what our customers have to say. So if you see us, stop by and say hello! The next show
we will be at will be Photo Plus Expo in New York City, October 18-21. If you are going to the show drop by! See what is new, say hello and even take “the wheel” for a spin. Those of you that are new to AI don’t know what “the wheel” is but for those customers that have been with Albums Inc. since the beginning you will know what I am talking about. You asked for it and it is back and better than ever!


See you in the Big Apple!
