More than 40 billion video tapes have been manufactured in the United States over the past four decades. Over 10 billion were used for personal video recording. Presently, those video tapes are reaching the extent of their shelf-life. The video quality is deteriorating because the magnetic properties of the video tape itself are demagnetizing. Eventually, those video tapes will become unplayable. Those video memories are fading away.
Despite the deteriorating quality of the video tape, it should also be noted that
video tape players are no longer being manufactured. Refurbished and used electronics markets are the only places where these devices can be found. Eventually, through use and obsolescence, there will be no functioning tape players left to play video tapes!
It is time to encourage your customers to transfer their video memories onto modern digital storage media and gain the accessibility of Internet video streaming services.
Promote the preservation and sharing of family’s favorite video memories and introduce a valuable and necessary addition to your suite of products and services. By providing your customers with video transfer services, you create a vital community service and a new revenue stream for your business.
There are two ways you can provide this service to your community.
As an Authorized Zoovio Agent, Zoovio will perform the video transfer services for you. You collect the video tapes and ship them to our lab. We transcode the video tapes, and optionally, DVDs, and ship them back to you. You collect the fees from your customers and pay us the wholesale rate for the service. You keep the profit!
As an Authorized Zoovio Lab you can generate even more income for your company by performing some or all of the video transfer services yourself. Our equipment and upload package enables you to do the work on-site. This allows a greater level of trust with your customers who might fear losing their favorite family memories should they be shipped to a different location for processing.
