When it comes to photo restoration services, most retailers know that there are two basic options: outsource this work or do it in-house.
Choosing to offer an in-house photo restoration and manipulation service requires finding and hiring the right talent, purchasing the appropriate hardware and software, managing the process and maintaining strict quality standards.
Outsourcing this work, however, requires virtually no investment or out-of-pocket costs, and creates an easy and immediate high-profit revenue stream. When selecting a supplier, though, it’s important to consider quality, profitability and turnaround time. One of the few options out there that appears to offer all of these is Onlinephotofix.com.
The company begins with a qualified, experienced staff of artists that work as a team to ensure quality control and complete customer satisfaction. If any of their customers are not 100 percent satisfied they offer a “redo” service where they will do the restoration work again until the client is satisfied.
In addition, every client has the opportunity to provide feedback to Onlinephotofix using the company’s rating system. They boast a 97 percent satisfaction rate over the last few years.
Onlinephotofix also claims they can offer these quality services for less than it costs for most retailers to bring the work in-house. They explain that if a retailer has an employee spend more than two hours handling a photo restoration, it already costs more than sending this work out. Onlinephotofix adds that simple restorations will cost the retailer just $9.95 and more complex restorations might cost up to $34.95, “so we are providing opportunity to create a highly profitable revenue stream through this cost structure,” the company states.
Though the “official” turn-around time is six days, Onlinephotofix tells us they actually return 80 percent of their restoration work within 24 hours of receiving the file. To assure prompt through-put, “Rush Service” is also available. They have found that many customers are more than willing to pay extra for the faster service.
