We’re looking for 250 Mumsnetters to try CEWE’s new True Matte finish photo book.

Here’s what CEWE say, “The CEWE PHOTOBOOK is Europe’s no. 1 photo book and recently was rated the UK’s best. With more sizes and formats to choose from than any other, the CEWE PHOTOBOOK offers a solution for everyone for all occasions.
“With our easy-to-use free software, you can create your very own personal book capturing forever those precious moments. You design the book yourself adding text, maps, clip art and even video alongside your images.

“Just recently we have launched our brand new True Matte CEWE PHOTOBOOK. True Matte is unique in the photo book market and offers a luxurious finish to bring out the very best of your photos.

“Whether you want to chart the early years of your little ones or capture this summer’s fantastic family holiday, there is no better way to display and share your wonderful photographs. We are proud to provide the personal touch with a professional finish, giving you a True Matte CEWE PHOTOBOOK to treasure forever.”

This product test is open to all UK Mumsnetters.

Testers will receive a voucher to order a True Matte CEWE PHOTOBOOK, Large Landscape (consisting of up to 42 pages) (RRP from £37.99). Selected testers will have to use CEWE’s software to design their own photo book which they will then be able to order online.

Testers will be required to add feedback to a thread onsite as well as complete a short survey. Testers who complete both forms of feedback will be entered into a prize draw to win a Nikon Coolpix S5300 Digital Camera (RRP £169.99).

If you’re interested please sign up here.

Thanks and good luck,

MNHQ

Received an E-Mail yesterday night welcoming me to "CEWE Photobooks". I don't remember signing me up!.. Is it through Mumsnet then!? There were no special voucher codes though.. Only the codes available on the site itself...:)

YoMrWhite · 10/10/2014 12:51

Has anyone received their email yet?

Pulledapart · 12/10/2014 14:23

No email yet Sad

lottietiger · 13/10/2014 23:17

I also got an email saying welcome from CEWE but nothing from mumsnet and no voucher codes.. Confused.. And not sure whether to be excited ??!

DurhamDurham · 14/10/2014 16:28

I just got an email but haven't reacted to it yet, hoping I don't need to commit to anything or sign up using debit card details etc.

I'll sit tight until I know more Smile

Blowninonabreeze · 14/10/2014 16:59

I've had an email and a voucher code. Just downloading the app onto my ipad. Looking forward to getting started.

Pulledapart · 14/10/2014 17:15

I got an email with a voucher code also. Haven't started downloading the app yet will do later tonight I think once the little one is in bed.

durhamdurham I do hope it doesn't ask for debit card details Shock won't be signing up if that is the case.

DurhamDurham · 14/10/2014 17:42

I sat and created a book with my two teen girls, we had fun. However once I had entered the code on the website it only deducted the £4.95 postage and said I still needed to pay for the cost of the book. What am I doing wrong?

supermariossister · 14/10/2014 20:24

done mine came to 48 pound and the cost was all covered by the voucher have you followed the instructions fully? if so then possibly email them.I found the initial set up abit confusing so swapped from doing it all myself to having the advisor and it got a bit easier. would of like more variety in the clip art but overall it was easy to do just time consuming.

supermariossister · 14/10/2014 20:25

oh and I chose PayPal as my payment option and clicked next, the voucher code page was next so I didn't end up putting in any details for PayPal because the Balance was 0.00

ChaffinchOfMegalolz · 14/10/2014 20:42

my voucher code only removes postage and packing. Sad

it would be a lovely thing but I can't afford to pay for it

ChaffinchOfMegalolz · 14/10/2014 20:45

Tried the paypal way and still 30 quids to pay gah.

ChaffinchOfMegalolz · 14/10/2014 21:29

AHA! solved it.
it has to be ''true matte'' LOL

supermariossister · 14/10/2014 21:36

glad you sorted it Smile.

DurhamDurham · 14/10/2014 21:39

I on the ipad version and I can't find the true matt, it doesn't give me that option. Any tips from you lovely helpful,people? Smile

supermariossister · 15/10/2014 08:16

I did mine on the desktop and once I'd installed the software had to make sure I'd selected true matte which was underneath the photobook header I think. then large landscape which showed on the full page. think mine ended at 26 pages,6 additional pages and the postage on the cost breakdown. Ill download the app and have a look

trikken · 15/10/2014 08:20

Yay been picked. The kids are going to love having our disneyland hol picks to look at. I love photobooks but they are usually well out of my price range, seriously chuffed!

trikken · 15/10/2014 08:22

Pics* it's too early to write correctly.

MichelleMumsnet · 15/10/2014 09:56

Allisgood1 · 15/10/2014 14:53

Argh. This is not straightforward. Trying to make my book but can't figure out probably need to read the instructions but so far proving very annoying!!

trikken · 15/10/2014 21:56

del2929 · 16/10/2014 11:07

aaaah. finally made mine. it has to be in true matte and 42pages. i found this out the hard way lol.
hope everyone manages to do it one way or the other.

supermariossister · 16/10/2014 11:13

daisyhollydilly · 16/10/2014 11:29
