SAN FRANCISCO–()–In spite of a bad economy, Americans are finding value in preserving their past for the future: sales at GoPhoto.com, the fastest-growing U.S. provider of slide, negative and photo scanning services, have enabled the company to more than double their American workforce.
“We entered this business with a pretty important goal: let’s help people preserve and share their memories, while making sure that every interaction they have with us honors the trust that they’ve put in us”
With over 2 million images scanned in their first year of business, GoPhoto feels that their customer-forward attitude is the key to maintaining this level of growth.
“We entered this business with a pretty important goal: let’s help people preserve and share their memories, while making sure that every interaction they have with us honors the trust that they’ve put in us,” said Sean Ryan, CEO and Co-Founder. “And if in doing that we can also create jobs here in America, we’ve got a really interesting cycle wherein the preservation of one person’s past is directly benefitting the present and future of another. And we take that pretty seriously.”
This customer-facing approach is reflected in the GoPhoto No-Risk Promise: you only pay for the scans you keep, and there is no deletion cap. So if you have a shoebox full of mystery slides, don’t worry: GoPhoto will do the slide scanning, put the images into online albums for review, and you can sort through and delete the scans you don’t want. The scans you keep are already online, and ready for sharing via email and social networking sites.
Almost everyone over the age of 30 has at least some photos, slides or negatives that need to be transferred to digital. As the Internet has matured and an explosion of social networking sites have facilitated personal sharing, digitizing old photos has become a necessity – not just to preserve old memories, but to enjoy and share them as well.
This holiday season, GoPhoto has high hopes that gift cards will encourage people to help their loved ones recapture their pasts. Says Ryan, “The most personal, unique gift you can give someone is the ability to enjoy their memories. I guess you could say that the past is the perfect present.”
Based in San Francisco, CA, GoPhoto is the fastest-growing U.S. provider of photo, negative and slide scanning services. GoPhoto offers expert, hi-res photo, negative and slide scanning for consumers, professional photographers and businesses looking to archive and preserve their images to online albums and DVD.
