When you upgrade to Gold at a participating school, Pixown celebrates your achievement by providing gift certificates to local restaurants, shops, and services. You save more on photos AND get rewards from your community. This is what celebrating together looks like.
Is Bravo Gold available at my school?
Not every school offers Bravo Gold, it's optional. Bravo Gold is the bonus—a way to turn your graduation into a community-wide celebration. Check your access code email—if Bravo Gold is offered at your school, it will be mentioned there.
How does it work?
When you upgrade to Gold tier, Pixown purchases a gift certificate on your behalf. You'll receive your gift certificate via email or physical card, depending on the business you select. Gift certificate values vary by school and will be clearly stated in our email to you.
For Businesses
Why should my business participate?
Bravo Gold connects you directly with graduating students and their families right when they're celebrating. You gain direct access to graduating families and guaranteed revenue from certificates purchased by Pixown.
You’re not offering discounts, you're being paid full value to welcome graduates. Pixown buys the certificates from you, ensuring your participation is profitable from day one.
Turn first-time visitors into repeat customers. Build brand loyalty with families at a major milestone. Position yourself as a community champion. Create word-of-mouth marketing among celebrating families. This is customer acquisition that feels good.
What will participation cost?
Businesses pay a participation fee to join Bravo Gold. This fee covers program administration and varies based on the schools you're supporting and the structure of their Pixown partnership.
Pixown acts as the purchaser. We buy the gift certificates directly from you at the agreed-upon value. When a graduate walks into your business, they aren't using a coupon—they are using a pre-paid certificate funded by Pixown. You’ve already been paid; your only job is to welcome them.
All agreements are between you and Pixown—schools are not involved in business selection, terms, or agreements.

For Schools
Why should we offer Bravo Gold?
Bravo Gold transforms graduation from a transaction into a community celebration—at zero cost to your school. We handle business recruitment. Pixown provides your graduates with tangible rewards to spend at businesses in their community. We invest in the local economy to honor your students' success.
Do schools pay to use Bravo Gold?
No. Bravo Gold is completely free to schools. Your school simply approves the program. No setup fees, no ongoing costs, no administrative burden.
All business relationships are between Pixown and participating businesses. Your school is not party to any commercial agreements, business endorsements, or vendor relationships.
This protects your school from any appearance of commercial partnerships or compliance concerns. Your role is simply to approve Bravo Gold as a feature of the Pixown experience for your graduates.
How do we get started?
If your school uses Pixown, contact us to add Bravo Gold. We'll handle business recruitment in your community and launch when sufficient partners are secured.
If you're not a Pixown school, contact us to discuss switching providers. We'll explain the Pixown model and recruit businesses to participate for your next graduating class.
The Bigger Picture
Traditional photography companies operate on a simple principle: capture graduates, eliminate choice, maximize profit. Forced packages. Inflated pricing. Take it or leave it.
Pixown puts graduates back in control with transparent tiered pricing. But we didn't stop there. Bravo Gold proves that a photography company can be a community investor. By re-investing in local businesses to reward graduates, Pixown proves that graduation photography can create value beyond the transaction.
That's why Bravo Gold matters.
Individually, we are moments.
Together, we are a celebration.
