The Digital Insider

There are a few new things that we are happy to introduce this month to our customers. We are always in the process of developing new ways to improve our service on all ends to offer the best digitization services on the market.

Large Flatbed Scans – ScanDigital is now offering scans up to 12.2”x17.2” in either 300dpi or 600dpi. By adding this service ScanDigital will be able to offer high quality full scans of large photos, newspaper clippings, artwork, album pages and scrapbooks. By capturing the entire image in one scan the quality is far superior to having to “stitch” different images together in an editing program. The pricing at 300dpi and 600dpi is $1.88 and $2.88 respectively and is relatively inexpensive when considering that elsewhere the price is upwards of $6.00 a scan. For those of you who scrapbook this option is a great way to protect and share your cherished hard work.

Capzles Partnership – ScanDigital is proud to announce that we have partnered with Capzles.com, an innovative new photo and video sharing site that lets users design their own timelines. Capzles’ amazing new flash technology allows for users to fully customize their timelines and seamlessly integrate photos, videos and blog entries. Check them out at www.capzles.com.

ScanDigital Growth – Over the past year ScanDigital has added more than 15 new employees to our skilled and dedicated team. Our experienced and highly trained team has been integral in helping ScanDigital become the industry leader in both quality and turnaround time. Each new member brings with them ideas and experience that have helped us improve all aspects of our business. By adding our great team members we are able to meet the ever increasing demand for our services while maintaining the quickest turnaround time. Also, you can rest assured that all their materials are being handled with the upmost care by trained professionals who are dedicated to providing you with the best possible images.

ScanDigital has recently been working with many home organizers in the effort to help simplify the lives of their clients. Most of us have a system of storing our photos, slides and negatives that is somewhat similar; partially labeled and piled up in a closet somewhere. You may be the only one who is even able to decipher what is where. Now, with the help of ScanDigital you can store those images away neatly and have full access to your images on disc and online anywhere in the world (even organized into folders no less!).

When sending their collection of images and movies into ScanDigital, customers can label there rolls of film, carousels of slides and photo albums so that those same names and groupings appear when viewing them on your computer. ScanDigital’s scanning service means no more searching for twenty minutes to find those photographs from that great vacation 10 years ago. After sending them to ScanDigital they will be right at your fingertips, in high quality and digitally enhanced.

Along with the digitally organized images ScanDigital offers a digital photo frame that we will preload for the customer with their newly scanned images. These photo frames look great and are good space savers as you can rotate through many images on the same frame. The photo frames also make perfect gifts for loved ones.

I recently took a large bin of images out of my parent’s house and had them processed at our El Segundo facility. Because of our great turnaround time I was able to put the bin back before my mom even noticed it was missing. When I gave her the DVD loaded with all the images in labeled folders she was thrilled. It was great to see her reaction as she was amazed that our slide scanning and editing restored old slides that she was sure were faded beyond repair.  She had forgotten what was even in the bin in the first place and now she is enjoying her images and the bin has been put into storage!

A few months ago I received an email from Richard Derks, the co-founder of a new company called Respectance, seeking a partnership with ScanDigital. At that time I had not heard of Respectance, but as I came to understand the company and the service it was providing I was thoroughly impressed.

Respectance is a company that allows its users to generate online tributes to deceased relatives, friends, idols and mentors, basically anyone you might want to pay a tribute to. Respectance has been called “the myspace for the deceased”, while this is a somewhat grim way of describing it, the point is that respectance provides an online social space for individuals to pay tribute to their loved ones. I think it is a fantastic service and a touching way to remember those you love in this digital age. The digital age in which we live is really about using digital technologies to enhance our lives. The ability to be able to access those old photos and fond comments about a loved one instantly from anywhere on your computer is such a step forward from having to dig out an old photo album in a box somewhere to relive these memories.

The company is the first to use the combination of rich media combined with relevant content, to provide an outlet for emotional expression. With emo-social media, Respectance has created a dedicated venue for sharing emotions and memories online, unlike all-purpose social networking sites like MySpace or Facebook, that are inappropriate for personalized tributes. As Derks describes the company:

“Respectance is establishing a new tradition for sharing memories of loved ones. Finally, there is an appropriate outlet for sharing emotions and memories of loved ones for all to appreciate, enjoy and contribute to.”

Respectance contacted us about a potential affiliate partnership because they were finding that many of their users were in need of a quality photo scanning service that could provide the fastest turnaround in the industry and they were particularly intrigued by our online gallery and ability to provide a web-based version of photos to their users. I am very proud to associate the ScanDigital name and brand with companies like Respectance.

In addition to adding Respectance as an affiliate partner, we have recently launched an official program to pursue these type of affiliate relationships. We have built a system from the ground up which allows our affiliates to track users coming to our site through their site and share in the success generated by these customers.

From time to time, I plan to highlight some of our Affiliates that I believe would be of interest to our customers.
