What Happens During Your Just Digitize Consultation?

During your Just Digitize consultation, we focus on understanding your specific needs and guiding you through our simple, secure process for digitizing your old memories. It's an opportunity for us to listen, answer your questions, and provide a clear plan forward.

Welcome and Introduction

Your consultation begins with a warm welcome. We introduce ourselves and will likely ask for a brief rundown of the kind of project that you are bringing in. This initial conversation is about making you feel comfortable and understood.

We love hearing about the treasures you've unearthed, whether it's a box of old photos from childhood, a collection of family VHS tapes, or forgotten 8mm movie reels. We encourage you to share the stories behind these items; it helps us appreciate their value to you.

Sharing Your Memory Treasures

We invite you to bring in a sample of your old media during your Just Digitize consultation, if possible, so we can see exactly what you're working with. This hands-on approach helps us understand the condition and format of your items.

It's perfectly fine if you can't bring everything in right away. A detailed description of what you have, including types (VHS, MiniDV, 8mm, slides, negatives, prints) and approximate quantities, is incredibly helpful. This allows us to accurately assess the scope of your project.

Discussing Your Vision for Digital Memories

We want to know what you envision for your newly digitized memories. Do you want to share them with distant relatives, create a digital archive for your children, or simply relive forgotten moments?

Understanding your end goal helps us tailor our service. We'll discuss preferred digital formats, storage solutions, and how you plan to use and enjoy your memories once they're digitized. This ensures the output meets your expectations perfectly.

How Does Just Digitize Ensure Your Memories Stay Safe?

Just Digitize ensures your memories stay completely safe by performing all digitization work entirely in-house, meaning your original items never leave our secure facility.

What Happens After Your Just Digitize Consultation?

Also, if you haven't before your appointment, we will ask you to fill out the Drop Off Form before officially dropping off your memories. If anything confuses you, we are always here to answer any questions that you might have.

Receiving Your Personalized Plan and Quote

Based on our conversation, we'll provide a detailed, easy-to-understand plan and a transparent quote. This proposal will itemize the digitization services required for your specific media types and quantities.

Preparing for Your Just Digitize Consultation

To make your Just Digitize consultation as productive as possible, gather your old media, consider how you want to use the digital files, and list any questions you might have. A little preparation goes a long way in ensuring we can best serve your needs.

What to Bring (If Possible)

Bringing a small sample of the types of media you wish to digitize can be very helpful. This might include a VHS tape, a few photos, a slide, or a short film reel. This allows us to inspect the condition and discuss specific challenges.

If bringing samples isn't feasible, don't worry. A detailed list of what you have (e.g., "20 VHS tapes, 5 boxes of slides, 3 small movie reels") is perfectly adequate. The more information you can provide, the better we can prepare a plan for your Just Digitize consultation.

Think About Your Desired Outcome

Before your Just Digitize consultation, take a moment to think about what you want to achieve with your digitized memories. Do you want to share them on social media, create a digital photo album, or simply have a backup?

Considering your desired outcome helps us recommend the best digital formats, storage solutions, and any potential editing services. This ensures the end product aligns perfectly with how you envision enjoying your family's history.

Think About Questions

It's completely normal to have questions about digitizing old media. Asking us whatever questions you may have helps us to better understand the digitizing project we are taking in. Some frequently asked ones that we get are about turnaround time, repairs, and other extra services that we may be able to provide!

We're here to provide clear, direct answers and make sure you feel completely comfortable with the process. Your Just Digitize consultation is your opportunity to gain clarity and confidence in preserving your treasured memories.
