Sell these unique video books in their retail-ready packaging right off the shelf for customer DIY, in bulk to offer your pro photographers for a value add to a wedding package, or as a completed wholesale product, delivered to the customer. Retail-ready books are sold in sets of 26.
Wholesale-Filled Video Books
Your customer places the order for a 10, 20 or 60 minute book in 5 or 7 inch viewer size and chooses a cover design. They check out through your Photo Finale site, then receive a link to follow to compile their video. The video creation site is hosted by Heirloom, and is easy and intuitive, and allows users to pull images or video from desktop and/or mobile. Heirloom creates the book and ships it off to the customer (or to your store if you do not offer shipping).
Retail-Ready Books
You can also sell these popular books right in your store. Choose 5 or 7 inch, 20 minute books each packaged in a plain kraft box, or opt for the 5-inch books in retail-ready packaging that comes with an instruction card for users to create and load their own videos directly to the book. The book sets itself up as a drive when you plug it in with the included USB-C cable. The books are sold in boxes of 26. 7 inch books are all plain white, while the 5 inch books offer dealers a choice of 16 cover designs, which they can mix in a box.

Dealer Setup:
Here is an FAQ on how to load the books manually.**
**That said, by far the easiest and best method of loading our video books is to visit a special area of our video book builder: https://sendheirloom.com/load-my-book
It can be challenging for customers or dealers to convert videos to the correct format for our books. Even more complex, if a video book has its screen oriented vertically, the video needs to be rotated so it plays correctly. The easiest way to handle these issues is to use our loader site, which automatically converts files, prepares a video ready for transfer to the book, and provides clear instructions for the transfer process.
