    If you get a decent reputation then you could get repeat business on high quality prints from digi cams, but you would have to compete with Boots et al.
    Can you do HD pics to Blu Ray discs or something like that?
    How about offering a posterising option too.
    Obviously you would need to research these as there are other businesses out there doing similar, but they would sit well with what you are currently doing.
    I am not qualified to give the above advice!

    Step back, have a think and adjust my own own attitude from time to time

      Yes there are several options open to expandind, thanks for your comments. To start with though, I need to get the core business up and running, then move to these other areas.

          Get yourself a good lawyer because I imagine Stelios will be on your case before too long (if memory serves he has tried it on before), he might even buy you out if it goes well.

              I have been looking for something like this for ages but never got round to searching for somewhere, you'll be getting an order form from me late September after I've had a chance to fly back to Manchester and collect some stuff. Videos and negatives.

                  congraulations

                  just thinking further into how to make this business even more sustainable,

                  the posters idea was excellent as was home video camera films to digital and photographs

                  and now my two pence....

                  what about value added....


                  printed t shirts, mugs, pens, mouse mats, christmas presents all that malarky


                  and any other ideas that come as a result of thinking about the above


                  I disagree with the rest, I think this is not such a short term business and I think if the business becomes successful, lots of other pieces of the puzzle will fall into place

                  all the best

                  and all the best to everyone with the plan b's - for mine the second loaf of bread will be in the oven soon


                  Milan.

                      No, the first attempt left him with sticky dough all over his hands.
