Found a Solid Guide on Custom Photo Magnets (Weddings, Gifts, Biz Promos) – Worth a Read

Quote
Just stumbled on this article about custom photo magnets and figured some of you might actually find it useful. I have been trying to figure out what to do with the fourteen thousand photos on my phone (yes, really) and this broke down the whole magnet thing better than anything else I have read.
It covers pretty much every reason you would actually order them. Weddings and save the dates, baby announcements, holiday gifts, even memorial keepsakes for people who want something small and tangible without it feeling too heavy. There is a section on pet magnets too which honestly got me because half my camera roll is my dog looking confused by various household objects.
What I liked most is that it does not try to oversell. It just explains why photo magnets work as gifts. They are cheap, they are personal, and people actually keep them because they stick to the fridge instead of getting filed in a drawer. The article also touches on using them for business promos, which I had not really thought about. Apparently real estate agents and small shops hand these out instead of flyers because a magnet stays on the fridge for months while a business card disappears into the void.
There is a decent section on how to pick the right photo too. Close ups with good lighting work best, especially for smaller sizes. Group shots are fine but faces need to be visible once everything shrinks down. Simple stuff but easy to forget when you are just uploading whatever looks cute on your phone screen.
If you are curious, the article is over at FreshMagnets. The url is stickermule dot com slash write slash freshmagnets slash custom photo magnets. I am not affiliated with them or anything, just genuinely thought it was a solid read for anyone who has been thinking about turning their camera roll into something physical.
Has anyone here actually ordered custom photo magnets before? Curious if the quality matches what the article claims. I am especially wondering about how well group photos print at smaller sizes. Would love to hear real experiences before I drop money on a bulk order for the holidays.
