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.
