If you haven't already digitized your printed business photos, you need to move this to the top of your to-do list! Most people think photo scanning is just for personal photos. However, most businesses have a collection of photos—past projects, product samples, and photos of historical significance, for instance. If your business photos are in a printed format, there are many advantages to having them digitized. Here are 5 reasons you need to digitize your business photos TODAY.

1. Space

All those old albums or boxes of photos take up valuable real estate in the conference room or storage spaces. How many times do you have to physically move the photo library? Digital photos take up a significantly smaller amount of space (and weigh a lot less!).

2. Protection

Printed photos are at a greater risk of damage from the elements (dust, mold, critters) and disasters (fire, flood, tornado, etc.). We ensure your digital photos are backed up to multiple places, so you will forever have access to them.

3. Time

Find the picture you are looking for or need quickly. It is unlikely that you will dig through old boxes or files to find the perfect photo for your upcoming business anniversary. What about that product you would like to feature on social media? In other words, stop wasting time digging through old boxes or trying to remember where the photos are stored.

4. Health

Printed photos are more likely to be a breeding ground for mold and dust, and critters love to chew on photo paper and old paper photo albums, as well. Photos that are stored in cardboard boxes are likely to attract spiders and collect dust. Yuck! Therefore, photos should be stored in a climate-controlled space and should not be a health hazard for the employee dealing with them.

5. Convenience

Would you like to have all of your photos in one location, easily accessible from any device? Would you like your marketing department to utilize old photos or current product photos for marketing efforts and social media posts? Lastly, if your company history is important to you and you would like to share photos of any kind, you need to have digital copies readily available.

You may be asking yourself: why hire a company to do this when I have employees that I already pay?

• For most people, organizing photos is not a strength. Just ask them how their own photos are organized! To clarify, employees aren’t as invested in organizing photos properly and consistently.
• In addition, do you want their focus taken away from the day-to-day operations of the business? Employees who are organizing photos are not returning calls to important clients. Use your resources to pay employees to do IPA (income producing activities). Employees feel bogged down when asked to do tasks outside of their skill set. Outsource the tasks that bog them down.

In summary, our photo organizing experts have extensive experience with handling, scanning (digitizing), and organizing photos. One organizer who will see the project through will be assigned to your project—no stopping and starting with a different person. Consistency is key. This is what we do.
