Secure the Best Ornament Pricing Before It’s Gone
Treasured Scenes early‑order pricing delivers your lowest cost, your highest profit, and a stress‑free end‑of‑year rollout — but only if you act before April 30.
Every spring, as winter finally lets go, something meaningful sparks to life at Keystone: the Treasured Scenes Glass Ball & Ceramic Ornament early‑order season. For decades, this window has energized some of the most successful fundraisers for schools, churches, historical societies, and Chambers of Commerce across the country.
A well‑timed early order doesn’t just save money — it sets the pace for a smooth, stress‑free holiday season. It gives your organization room to plan, promote, and build excitement. But in recent years, many groups have shifted toward late‑season ordering, missing the best pricing of the year and unintentionally cutting into their own fundraising margins.

Why Early Ordering Matters More Than Ever
Treasured Scenes ornaments have been a beloved fundraising tradition since 1988. They’re meaningful, collectible, and deeply tied to community identity. And the timing of your order makes all the difference.
When you order before April 30, you unlock:
- The lowest pricing of 2026
- The highest fundraising profit margin
- Priority artwork and production scheduling
It’s simple:
Early ordering = maximum savings + maximum success.
Here is a pricing example for an imprinted glass ball:
⭐Order Now, Ship Later — The Advantage Most People Forget
One of the biggest benefits of the Treasured Scenes program is also the most overlooked:
You can place your order now and schedule delivery for October or November.
That means:
This single feature can make or break a fundraiser’s profitability.
And because glass ball ornament colors are limited each season, early ordering also guarantees you get the color you want. Popular colors (like Gloss Red, Gloss Green, and Satin White) routinely sell out as the year progresses — but early‑order customers secure their inventory before shortages happen.

⭐Expert-Guided = Lower Risk (and Fewer Surprises)
Creating a custom ornament isn’t an upload‑and‑print task — it’s a curated process involving art selection, historical accuracy, color choices, proofing, and deadlines.
With Treasured Scenes, you’re not left to guess. You’re working with specialists who’ve guided thousands of groups through this exact process since 1988. We:
- Anticipate questions before they’re asked (from photo quality to production timelines)
- Flag issues early so nothing derails your schedule
- Protect your budget and timeline with clear steps and proactive communication
- Secure your preferred ornament color early, before seasonal inventory tightens.
- Coordinate your future delivery date so you launch right on time
Think of us as your consultant, not just a vendor — a partner who makes the decision feel safe and the outcome look great.
