I totaled everything up last night. 19 teams, ~220 kids total (I will have to go back through the order forms for a more exact number). We had a few freebies in there...mainly close family members and people instrumental in getting us in with the leagues. Plus a complimentary 5x7 team photo for each coach (32) and 8x10 team photo for each team sponsor (19).
The baseball teams spent $3298.50 ($15/kid average); the league will get a $200 "Fundraising Donation" (a percentage of packages sold); and we will profit just shy of $2,000. Costs besides printing/shipping pictures were: fuel/mileage, printing order forms, bags to package/deliver in.
We sold 179 packages (4 choices), 111 additional prints (wallets, 4x5, 5x7, 8x10), 37 additional buttons, and 30 additional products (Magazine Covers, Memory Mates, and Trader Cards).
We shot 12 teams on a Saturday, 2 more that Sunday, 4 the following Thursday, and 1 that Friday. We would have had all of them there the original weekend, but were waiting on their t-shirts to be printed.
All in all it was a pretty good deal. I landed two more sports leagues out of it, so I can't complain. Pictures will be packaged and returned within the three week (from shoot date) time period established in the bid.
I am looking forward to next season!
