I have just finalized an agreement with the Make-A-Wish Foundation® of Idaho to raise funds to help support their wish granting activities. The Make-A-Wish Foundation’s mission is to grant the wishes of children with life threatening medical conditions to enrich the human experience with hope, strength and joy. I personally know of three children who have benefitted from their generosity. One of them is my cousin’s son who passed away after fighting cancer.

I have volunteered to donate twenty percent of the sale price of my prints, excluding taxes, shipping and frames, from March 1, 2011 to August 31, 2011. When I sell framed prints, I factor the price of the frame at my cost.

These donations will apply to all prints sold from Artistblue Gallery in Nampa, Idaho and from my shows at Aaron Brothers in Boise, Idaho.  Sales on the website outside of Idaho will be donated to a local children’s charity.

I will be artist of the month for May at the Artistblue Gallery located in the Karcher Mall next to the Burlington Coat Factory. All my sales at this event will receive a coupon for a discount valid for the purchase of one frame. I have some of my prints hanging there at all times.

I will also be at Aaron Brothers the second Saturday of April, May and June 2011. The exact dates are April 9, 2011, May 14, 2011 and June 11, 2011. I will be at Aaron Brothers on those dates between noon and 4:00 p.m.  Anyone purchasing one of my prints, will receive a coupon for a discount on the purchase of one frame.

All my prints and canvases are printed with archival quality materials which will assure that you will be able to enjoy them for years to come.

I also guarantee your satisfaction, in other words if there are any problems with one of my images on paper or canvas, I will gladly replace it. If you order a print online and you are not completely satisfied, return the print to me and I will refund the price of the print to you within 30 days.

Photographs appear very differently when displayed in an internet browser compared to actual prints. For this reason, I also offer 4×5.5 sample prints at a cost of $10.00 USD each to give you an idea of the quality of my prints. If you place an order for regular prints after ordering sample prints, I will return the price of up to three sample prints for each regular print with your order.

If you wish to purchase prints from my website, you can either purchase them directly from my website using PayPal or any Credit or ATM card. If you are using a Credit or ATM card, choose PayPal and you will be given the option to use your card by pressing where it says “Don’t have a PayPal account”. You can also place the order with me via an email or by telephone. My email address is marc@marcplouffephotography.com and my telephone number is (208)921-0900. If you call me, I would appreciate it if you call between 8:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. Mountain time. All prints purchased from my website will be shipped within two weeks of the receipt of the payment.
