New Business Guide shows you how to
Start Your Own Video Duplication and Transfer Business
These video services may seem like obvious, but it’s amazing how many producers do not offer them. There’s some real money here. And like many video services, a new customer will often buy other video services from you. It’s good synergy. The equipment needed is inexpensive. You may already own some of it. Transferring photos, slides and film to video opens all kinds of creative possibilities. A photo montage alone can become Keepsake Videos, Memorial Videos and a lot more. Look what Ken Burns did with it!
Four Core Services to Offer
* DVD and CD Duplication
* Home Movie Transfers to DVD
* VHS and Other Video Formats Transfers to DVD
* Photo and Slide Transfers to DVD
The place to start is by building a firm foundation in those four services. We’ll take you through all of it step by step.
You’ll learn how to buy the best equipment for your budget and goals. Learn the best ways to transfer photos, slides and all kinds of film to DVD and video. Forget about trial and error; choose the right equipment, supplies and blank discs right from the start. You’ll learn the techniques and perhaps more importantly what business strategies and policies are proven to work for these services. We’ll look at the film to video transfer process in great depth so you will have the confidence to start that service the right way.
You might think this film transfer business must have run its course by now, but you’d be wrong. The business of transferring film (8mm, super 8 and 16mm) to DVD is much larger than you’d think. That’s why CVS, Walgreen’s and most of the other drug store chains offer those services! And believe me. They’re in it for the money.
You’ll learn the easy way to compete and win against these large impersonal corporations. There are three major chain stores close to my home and yet people come to me with their transfers. Think about it: Would you give your own precious 40 year old home movies to a clerk in a drug store who will send your films out of state to a nameless corporation somewhere? Or would you rather have a trusted neighbor who lives in your same town do a careful transfer? I guess it’s obvious. And that neighbor could be YOU.
Transferring VHS and other formats to DVD can also be a lucrative business especially when you have the right gear. Typically, a customer will bring you, not one or two tapes, but a whole shopping bag of tapes. It’s nice to make a profit on the very first job!
Secrets Of Running A Successful Transfer Business
Offering all of these services at the same time is one of the keys to making it work. Each of the services is related to the others. The customers for one service will often want a second or third service. It’s an ideal synergy. And duplication is a natural add-on to offer anytime you are producing videos whether it’s a Keepsake Video, Memorial Video or anything else. Your customer will want a bunch of copies, sometimes 100 or more. Many video producers don’t even do their own duplication so you’ll also want to offer all these services to other producers in your area.
Selling these services is best done through one primary means which, as you’ll see, is very inexpensive. You can set it up in a couple hours. Then customers will call you every time. It’s simple and easy to do, but most businesses still don’t get it. We’ll show you step-by-step how to win this marketing game.

Sometimes It’s More Profitable To Farm It Out
You’ll see videos reviewing some of the best duplicators in two different classes, but sometimes it’s smarter not to do the work yourself. I just got a call to duplicate 2500 DVDs. Even though I could, this is not something I’d want to do on my equipment. There are some great places to send out a job like this, at a better price than I could do. You’ll learn which companies to call when you get a job like this. They use replication rather than duplication. In the price they charge you, you’ll find there’s plenty of room to mark that price up and still give your customer good value. There are a lots of options to run this business. In one of the videos you’ll see a dupe tower one of our members built. He’s since run thousands of copies.
One videographer we know loves to do photo montages because they are so profitable and lead to other work. We’ve included an article he wrote that explains his niche in detail.
Start Small With Little Or No Investment And Ramp It Up As You Go
