Hi,

I'm looking to speak with people who enjoy taking photographs and/or have gone through the process of making a photobook/calendar online, to validate a new business concept I'm working on. It aims at making the process of creating online photobooks and calendars much easier than what is offered today.

I would like to better understand what part of the current process works for you and what frustrates you - or what may have stopped you from making a photobook/calendar online. And then get your feedback and input on my idea about how to make this a LOT easier. If you have the time (about 20 minutes) to meet with me at any coffee shop in Zurich to discuss an interesting new concept - the coffee's on me

Look forward to hearing from you - thanks!

Maike

Hi Maike

Have you had a look at the "Zurich Photoclub" thread under Social Events - Zurich Photoclub.

There are photography enthusiasts of all levels, some of whom may be able to help you with regards to your business idea.

Cheers

Hi Ishaka, good idea I'll post there too - thanks!

I don't know how to make a photo calendar online here in Switz..only in America. What are the sites here? Are any in English?? I've used snapfish and never had any problems.

Hi

I don't know if there are any in CH, so you might actually have a niche there. I've just ordered one from the US and if it wasn't for our beautiful wedding photos the price would've put me off for sure. =)

I thought Hungary was a lot cheaper, so I checked there... and was shocked. These babies are really expensive!

But I did love the platform I used to order from the US, I didn't have to download anything and the suggested designs were really nice, though I ended up changing a lot.

Some things I missed: The leather cover was only available in burgundy and black, while with weddings being far the most profitable events for such companies I would've expected to find white among the colors. Also, sometimes the options for arrangement were not so many, I don't know why a sole pic in a row, for instance, could not be centered. But we still managed to come up with a gorgeous album, though for such a price I wouldn't have ordered anything less.

I hope this helps, if you need the website just PM me. The experience was really good, and I do wish they were CH based or cheaper. =)

Have a nice day.
