One of the advantages of running an online advertising agency is that when an idea strikes, you can actually implement it pretty easily.
At Experia Media, we are gradually moving to a direction where we incubate products / service related projects inhouse, apart from doing selected client projects.
The focus is to build stuff which solves a problem faced by folks in India.
Our first project was Finqa – where we are solving the problem of ‘Where should I invest my money safely’ through a guidance based platform.
Presenting our second project – GetPhotos.in
What is GetPhotos ?
GetPhotos is an online service which allows you to order passport photographs online. You just need to send us a photograph of yourself (Taken from your phone or camera against a blank white wall), select the package that you need and we will print and send them to you.
Yep, a pretty simple proposition
Why Getphotos – What are the problems it solves for you ?
1.) Running out of photographs: Do you run out of photographs just when you need them for that application form ? With our package of 50 photographs, it will be a while before you run out of them.
2.) Convenience: No need to tackle traffic, drive to a market and hunt for parking just to get passport photographs
3.) Convenience Again: If you need passport photos for your kids or elderly parents, you don’t need to take them out to a studio.
4.) Saving Time: Saves you a couple of hours if you don’t have to do the above.
5.) Quality: We touch up your photographs so that it has a clean white background and clear skin tones. We also use a Continuous Ink System Epson Photo printer and print on 180gsm photo paper
6.) Cheaper: Most studios charge anywhere between Rs 80-100 for 8 regular sized photographs. If you want different sizes, you need to pay extra. Our value pack costs Rs 250 for 50 photographs across different sizes.
While we were brainstorming this idea, half the team thought this will not work, while the other half thought it’s a promising idea. Ultimately, we decided the only way to find out if it will work is to build it.
So yes, please take a look at GetPhotos.in and let us know what you think- Bouquets and brickbats are welcome 🙂
DEALS: We are also experimenting with a deals section whereby, if clients select to opt for a deal, we send them a gift card. The idea is to offer attractive offers from various consumer companies of significant value so that the passport photos are ultimately free for our clients.
It’s can be a win-win deal for everyone – The advertising company gets a qualified lead while the customer gets the photos for free (offset by the value of the deal). If you are an entrepreneur in the consumer space and would like to offer a deal, please send us an email to info@getphotos.in
