Hello Phil,
Good luck on your new adventure!
Having recently found and joined this great group, I hate to self-promote, but, I think it may help you and others.
I started in 1975 and have not only shot many weddings, but, have worked and managed many photo labs in the Boston area. I started a printing side business as I really could not find a service that resembled the old fashioned pro labs of the eighties. Especially a smaller, niche service that gets to know the shooters and becomes in sense, they're partner. I print all the shots personally.
APPROMO14
I look at some of these prices and cannot believe they are much more than quick machine prints. So, I started archival-photos.com. I use Epson printers, paper and ink, and focus on the 16 x X and under sizes. They are pigment inks, and last for generations. A selling point for wedding prints in my opinion, and can provide a niche in your marketing. Yes, they cost more, but, our customers feel it is worth it for those special shots.
We just re-launched the site and are offering a discount of 25% until 12/1/2014. Use promo code APPROMO14. I am working on building in a discount based on the number of images ordered, but, that may take a little bit to work out the bugs.
I appreciate any feedback and suggestions, as well as any questions.
Again, good luck!
Brian
