ScanMyPhotos.com Made TheStreet.com’s 10 Best Gifts For Dads

Posted on June 12, 2015 by

With nearly 180,000 followers on Twitter and millions of daily readers, TheStreet™ is a leading digital financial media company providing financial news, commentary.  TheStreet.com web site is updated in real time, along with investing ideas, trade plans, personal finance tips and lifestyle articles and videos. ScanMyPhotos.com was profiled by TheStreet.com’s Managing Editor, Marlien Cawad for “10 Father’s Day Gifts for 10 Different Types of Dad”

 

Excerpt:

Does dad have thousands of old photos that he keeps in boxes or drawers? And has he been talking about wanting to get them all organized? Here’s an idea.

 

For Father’s Day, you can get dad a prepaid scanning box from ScanMyPhotos.com. The box is $145 and can hold up to 1,800 standard-sized photos. The price includes the cost of scanning and three-way shipping.

 

When dad is done filling up the box, he just needs to ship it out and within five to 10 days, he’ll get a DVD with all his photos. If he’s just getting started on Instagram, this is the easiest way for him to post stuff for #TBT (Throwback Thursday).

 

For a small fee, dad can have his photos saved on a flash drive. ScanMyPhotos.com can also digitize 35mm slides, film negatives, and VHS tapes.

Product Review: ScanMyPhotos.com

Excerpt: from David Friendler, LifeEdited.com

 

 

I still have an emotional attachment to these captured moments, but not a physical attachment to the paper photos themselves. I planned to digitize them long ago, but never got around to it. I finally decided to do it, using ScanMyPhotos.com – the decision based on a post I did about photo digitization.

Scanning the family photo collection

 

Excerpt from Jeri Danski, Unclutterer!

I have boxes and boxes of family photos (some from the 1920s) I’d like to scan in and put on CDs (is that a good way to save them?) and also put on a website where family members can access them and print out what they’d like to keep. How do I even get started? How do I organize the project? I’m overwhelmed just thinking about it.

 

Many people have happily used scanning services. Erin used ScanMyPhotos, as did a recent commenter, L. Charles. The company takes your prints, negatives and/or slides, does the scanning, and ships you back a DVD with those scans (along with your originals).

Save Your Family Photos from Disasters – Digitize Them!

Excerpt from Mom With A Prep:

Scanning Bulk Photos: “This option takes just a bit of faith, but my experience has been awesome, as well as others that I know. You can send a whole shoebox full of photos (of relatively the same size) to a company and have them mass scan them all for you for a single fee. It saves you TONS of time (because your time is valuable). They will send you back your photos plus a DVD of your photos scanned at 300dpi. There are companies like Scanmyphotos.com and many others….”

We partnered with Wells Fargo and asked several small-business owners to share the simple morning habits that help keep them positive and productive all day long.”

 

“Mitch Goldstone, president and CEO of ScanMyPhotos.com, reviews the previous week’s orders and sends flowers to two dozen customers every weekday as both a thank-you gesture and a way of recognizing the memorial services, anniversaries and life milestones that brought them to his site.”
