Thursday, April 9th, 2009 Subscribe To Our Feed

A website, a photo printer and a few friends that can help you with distributions and you have an online photo laboratory. Advertising will circulate as a gossip at first, and before you know it you are full of orders and clients. Incredible?

It’s a known fact that most people gave up the classic film photo cameras and orientated very fast towards digital cameras. Over a four year period, the sells amount for digital cameras has gone from 1 million USD to 30 millions USD, and they expect next years’ sales to reach 50 million USD. Even the classical labs that were equipped to develop films now need to print pictures from digital cameras, because this is what people want. There are some modern digital photo printing laboratories that are located online and offer the possibility of printing images from your camera. They work very easy: the customers leave an order, uploads his own photos onto the online photo laboratory and within two days to one weeks he gets the printed pictures at home

If deciding to open such a business, remember that the price you can ask for a photo copy in an online environment should be lower than the priced charged at ordinary photo labs. If you are already hooked, just remember that you will need to make some investments before starting, and the outcome might be a number around 12.000 euros, if you want the professional devices, because only the printer costs 10.000 euros alone.

Make sure you can be technical available at all time. At first, you should expect a few month of inactivity, but once they pass, clients will flourish on your website that’s it must always be online, without technical problems that you are not aware of. People that first stumble across your website in searches and find it offline will never return again, so they can be counted as lost customers. We line in a digitalized world, so paying from home is a must. Make sure you can offer the possibility of online payments because no one will order the prints and send the money through bank transfers if they have to go all the way to the bank and do that. Paying from home for digital prints makes all the difference. snapfish
