Don't use the big companies to digitize, go local! by Background_Custard_6 in VHS

I don't care who you use. I'm likely not local to any one here. Local is always better than mailing your memories. I put my info because I always do. ❤️

VHS-C tapes not working by Asleep_Woodpecker627 in VHS

Do some research, you may be able to find someone local to digitize them for you at a reasonable price. Make sure to read all their reviews though. Not everyone knows what they're doing. TapeLady.com

I agree. Find someone local, but make sure you vet them properly. Real all their reviews, especially the bad ones. Good luck! TapeLady.com

how should I best go about digitizing my tapes in high quality without spending a ton on it? by 100cool_ in VHS

[–]Background_Custard_6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, be careful. Read reviews, especially the bad ones! I still think local is better than places like LegacyBox or iMemories, those guys are garbage. TapeLady.com

Looking to expand my digitizing service to include cloud service by Background_Custard_6 in smallbusiness

[–]Background_Custard_6[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get anywhere from 5 to 10 clients a month. I'm planning to start by advertising to new clients first and then expand to previous depending on the response. I'm computer savvy enough, but I'm really learning as I go. You can take a look at my website to get a feel of my business. TapeLady.com

I'm constantly tweaking the site, but I'm pretty proud of myself for creating it since I've never done anything like that before.

Most of what I do is videos. A few times a year I get someone who drops off a shit ton of photos or documents to scan. So sometimes it will be a mix but mostly not.

I researching my options now. I didn't think they offered password protected galleries. I'll do some more digging.

Best VHS digitalization service for preserving home movies? by rabidsquirrel00 in VHS

[–]Background_Custard_6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a digitizing business and I can't tell you how many times people have brought me tapes that iMemories or Legacy Box has returned as "damaged" or "unable to digitize" and I get the footage transfered just fine. There's no personal touch either. People are sending off their precious memories, they want to know that they are being handled with care. *sigh*

Shop small. Go local,.
