Professional Photographer Benefits Program
Overview & Qualifications
Pros must schedule an appointment for a review of receipts to qualify for the program & appropriate tier. A tax exempt form or copy of your business license must be presented and kept on file as the entry qualification into our program. Haven’t gotten a business license or tax ID yet? The Pennsylvania Open for Business website has all the information you need to get started.
Pros will then qualify for one of three tiers based on lab volume with Dan’s: Platinum (highest), Gold (mid), and Silver (entry level). Dollar amounts will not be published for privacy. Once you've qualified for the program, you will need to follow our print ordering guidelines to receive Dan's Professional Tiered Pricing.
Sales volume is based on previous year’s spending on lab services at Dan’s. Volume must be maintained to stay in each tier. Sales volume will be evaluated twice a year.
