It’s been another busy month in Customer Support with plenty of calls and emails to keep us working hard.

This month we welcomed a new Customer Support Manager, Chrissy, to the team. Chrissy has worked in Customer Service her whole life and is very dedicated to creating a great customer experience. We look forward to the knowledge and experience she brings to the role.

Our team continue to work from home and have adjusted to this new life style with ease. Most are loving not having to commute to and from work every day!

We have seen an increase in customers using our Online Chat feature which is great to see. If you haven’t used our Chat feature before, it can be accessed through our Help Desk by clicking on the ‘Live Support Online’ button. We have team members online to chat with you from 9:00am to 9:00pm weekdays and 10:00am to 5:00pm on Saturdays. It’s a great way to get the answer you need quickly without having to send an email or pick up the phone.

This month the team will be heading to the beach for a team activity to celebrate a year of very hard work.

We are always looking to improve our customer’s experience so if there is anything you think we could be doing better please let us know by emailing business@photobookshop.com.au .

We can’t believe it’s March already! Most of us are still trying to wrap our heads around last March!

It’s been another busy month in Production with lots of new and exciting changes happening.

We have welcomed a new Production Manager, Amy, who has been working with us for 3 years and is now taking over this leadership role. Amy has a wealth of knowledge and experience in our products and processes and we look forward to the positive changes she will bring to the team.

We’ve also introduced two new printers with a really amazing print quality which we are very excited to begin using for our Photobooks. These new printers will allow us to provide more paper and printing options so stay tuned for more announcements!

Our Photobook binding machine now has a sister so we are looking forward to being able to produce more Photobooks in a shorter amount of time.

We have also spent some time rearranging a few areas in Production to allow for an easier work flow and some more space.

This month we will be having a team dinner to celebrate a great start to the year and surviving a third lockdown in Melbourne!

Looking forward to another busy month!

What's New?!

This month we have been working on a few new things for you!

PROPOSAL GIFTS - Choosing a Godparent, Bridesmaid or Bestman is so important. We have created some thoughtful proposal designs to ask that special question. Choose from a puzzle, bottle opener or mug! 

PHOTOBOOKS - We have made it much easier for you to navigate your Photobook creations and get an overview of your projects, by adding ‘live page preview thumbnails’. View at a glance, which layout you have used on each page.

WOODPRINT STANDS - We have added 12 new LOVE designs to our Woodprint Stand collection, use your own photo as a keepsake for that special someone or create a beautiful wedding or anniversary gift.

When you have finalised your project, you now have the option to purchase a ‘Thank you’ gift card to go with your gift for any occasion with over 20 styles available.

December was a busy month for us in Production. This meant increasing the number of staff and of course increasing our production hours. We were lucky enough to be able to hire 10 new staff members who worked very hard along with our existing team to have all of the Christmas orders sent out in time. We hope that everyone was very happy with their Christmas presents.

We also saw the introduction of a few new machines which has reduced the production time for a couple of products including a second binding machine in our Pro Photobook area and another machine in our canvas wrapping department.

We built a new, temperature controlled area in the warehouse which is now home to our Pro Photobooks. Along with this new area, we also installed air conditioning in the warehouse which will make those hot summer days much nicer to work in! Lucky us!

The team celebrated our Christmas Party in the warehouse this year (Covid style)! We had a lot of fun with Secret Santa, a raffle and a Mexican food truck!

As always, we continue to work on our Production processes and procedures to work towards faster production times and high quality products.

We look forward to another year in Production!
