It's tax season and just thinking about the gathering, organizing and storing of these little pesky pieces of paper, called receipts, shoeboxed sounds like a small business owners dream come true. Minimizes the stacks of binders and boxes I have full of receipts in my garage and I can finally park my car in there or put my clothes away where it rightfully belongs. And, a wonderful way to stop receipts from fading. Have you ever noticed how those "fade proof" papers happen to fade faster than any other receipts you have. Thanks shoeboxed for creating this service for unorganized small home based businesses like myself. And, for $20 to $60 a month, gosh, that beats paying a book keeper or a college student to keep my books in order. Saves me a lot of money and time. This is a no brainer. My question, are there any other programs like this available besides shoeboxed.com? Just wondering.

]]> Comment on Ward Bergan: Strides by David Black http://www.kendallschoenrock.com/blog/2007/03/27/ward-bergan-strides/#comment-30884 David Black Sun, 23 Aug 2009 02:22:48 +0000 http://www.kendallschoenrock.com/blog/index.php/2007/03/27/ward-bergan-strides/#comment-30884 Personally, I think films shots entirely in front of a green or blue screen are rather cheesy. That's correct, I'm not a fan of high concept Hollywood popcorn flicks, either. Kendall, you know "Ward Bergan" is really Ted Betz trying to be pretentious by reinventing himself with another name. Ted was always very expert at playing the role of a filmmaker, in love with the very idea of it all. But really, he should take daddy's money and just make a gritty low budget drama along the lines of a Dogme 95 film, free of all the bullshit like special effects and CGI. Ted, stop trying to be another Michael Bay, for God's sake. Personally, I think films shots entirely in front of a green or blue screen are rather cheesy.

I immediately thought of Ted Betz's movie "Strides". If you haven't watched Strides, I would highly recommend it!

Replying to the previous comment, consumers are interested in the technical functionality (the "how") unless that's what you're selling. Consumers are interested in the benefit that will be derived from using the service - centralized organization of receipts, no more taking paper receipts home, ease of use.

According to studies, there are an estimated 1 trillion photos in the world. For every 1% of these that is converted to digital through a service, it represents $5 billion in revenues. Assuming the average price of $0.50 per image, this market could easily be a $1-2 billion market per year over the next 10 years. There are over 2700 photographs taken every second around the world, adding up to well over 80 billion new images a year taken on over 3 billion rolls of film, according to estimates published by the United States Department of Commerce (in 2000) - this number has likely gone down but still billions of images being added on film per year. These statistics only account for photographic material and do not even touch video or reel to reel film conversion. As you see, ScanDigital provides a service that has huge a potential market size. I hope that was helpful. I'm happy to answer any other questions your readers may have. Anderson Thanks for your question about potential market size.

I know I have a shoebox full of pictures tucked away somewhere and I simply never thought anything would become of them. If I have a shoebox, I could imagine others have amassed thousands, perhaps even hundreds of thousands of pictures simply tucked away. Well done, I think you're in the right place at the right time and doing the right thing. This sounds like a really great idea!
