Snow globes for Agents Giving

Snow globes for Agents Giving

The Doctor Photo team have joined forces with Agents Giving to raise money this Christmas!

From today, agents and developers can send DCTR their exterior property photos to be transformed into a snow globe - either as a photo or animated. Perfect for social media, email campaigns, Christmas cards & window displays.

Nearly two years ago, DCTR raised over £2,000 for the homeless charity Shelter with our COVID crisis campaign ‘Paint the Portals with Rainbows’. This year, we want to raise money a little closer to home, supporting the official charity for the property industry! Every year we get asked by tonnes of agents and developers to transform their property pics into a Christmas scene. Traditionally we’ve just added snow and Christmas decorations but this year we’re launching snow globes in partnership with Agents Giving – donating half of all associated revenue to the charity.
