Years ago I did several very large photocopy projects...resized, produced better-than-original images, only occasionally even suggesting restoration because I didn't like the looks of airbrushing and it was a hassle anyway...
I was stupid to charge on a piecework basis: The clients could have afforded much more. I demeaned my skilles by charging $4 for this, $20 for that, even though some billings rose above $1000.
Many potential customer/client families have huge collections of important photos and family-historic documents (old wedding announcements, newspaper articles, letters) and those collections will disperse and eventually be lost unless MULTIPLE sets of copies are printed relatively-archivally, packaged (eg in albums or boxes), and distributed to key family members.
The only way these family archives will exist in 100 years will be if multiple copies are distributed.
The only way future families will care in the least is if these sets are attractive and accompanied by key family information, anecdotes etc.
SO....some of you must already deliver this service...right?
How do you package such services ?
