    I know I'm opening myself up to criticism, I've a plan B (link below) and would like comments please. Good or Bad.

    I've an issue with the form submission as I'd like it to email me when a user fills it in, as at the moment they just print it off. (Question asked about this in the Tech section)

    Here is the web site

    www.easyslidescanning.co.uk

    Thanks !!!
    Good one. You could also add a retouching service to remove scratches etc. There's good money in that too.

    Interesting stuff! Please keep us updated on how it's going - I like your plan B. My plan A is to run my own little co like this (I'm currently on plan B, building a bit of capital to start A )

    Best of luck!

    If you can hit up the libraries etc (as suggested above) then you are made matey, you wont need any more suggestions. Do the decent thing by whoever suggested it.
    Make sure you have the staff and equipment if you start marketting to that lot though, you could end up swamped.

    Thats right, dont forget me

    Hey - what if i advertise locally in my area and sub the work out to you through me will you give me a decent rate?

    U scratch my back i'll scratch yours

    Havent got the time to start up another business right now as baby due in week and a half but i love your idea.

    Website looks nice but could do with more images that are representative of peoples holiday snaps perhaps. Format is a bit narrow.

    Having done a fair bit of neg/slide scanning myself, it's hugely labour intensive. Removing all the dust and crap from old film stock is a nightmare and people will likely complain if they see their images with lots of dust specks.

    Will you be doing this personally or getting someone else to do it?
