ScanDigital, the premier photo and home movie transfer
service, announced a partnership with Memory Makers, a
popular scrapbooking franchise featuring a print
publication, books, digital media and events. Through the
partnership, scrapbook designers whose work will be featured
in Memory Makers magazine will utilize ScanDigital's
services to convert physical scrapbook designs into digital
format. Using a custom console designed for Memory Makers,
designers will now send ScanDigital their creations for
print-quality digital conversion. As the exclusive provider
of scanning services, ScanDigital will convert the pages by
scanning, retouching, and optimizing the digital copy of the
design. The digital versions will then be sent to Memory
Makers for inclusion in upcoming issues as a way to inspire
their readers with creative new design ideas.
This is a natural partnership as both Memory Makers and
ScanDigital are in the business of encouraging people to
enjoy their family's memories and history. ScanDigital
brings the past alive by converting analog material to
digital format for preservation and organization. Through
its scrapbooking shows and publications, Memory Makers
encourages the sharing of memories, showcased in beautifully
designed scrapbook layouts. ScanDigital's services are ideal
for scrapbookers as a way to make ancestry books without
using the precious originals, preserve their artwork, print
copies for loved ones, show off their creations in the
online gallery, and use old photos in digital scrapbooking.
"Memory Makers is a premier brand within the scrapbooking
community, and our services are ideal for scrapbooking
enthusiasts," says Anderson Schoenrock, ScanDigital CEO. "We
are thrilled to have structured a partnership to provide
content for their publication."
"Partnering with ScanDigital allows us to streamline the
layout submission process for our 70+ contributors in each
issue, and it ensures quality uniformity in presentation,
all while ensuring that each layout is treated with the care
it deserves," says Beth Williams, Executive Editor, Memory
Makers.

One
of the discussions I have most often with retailers deals with carrying too much
inventory and how to get rid of it. In many ways the discussion is always very
interesting as I listen to retailers who are at war with retailing. I know it
sounds strange but really it’s true. Let me share with you some of the dialog
that I often have.
