Hello All,
I'm sure this has probably been asked a million times before, but i did have a flick through and couldn't find anything.
I'm in charge of Media for a large Scout and Guide camp in 2013, and one of the things i'd like to implement this time round is some sort of photo sales capacity.
The event is a week long, and has approx 5000 on site - certainly in previous years, a large quantity of photos have been taken, uploaded to the web and remained there slightly stagnant.
I think both campers and management would welcome the ability for photos to be able to be purchased.
There are 3 main hurdles i can see here:
1. photos would be available to buy on-site, and take home, and we'd like the facility for people to order them afterwards.
On site would probably lend itself to the hire of a decent dye-sub unit, but i'm unsure of how to handle post-event sales.
Ideally, a system where people can order and the photo is automatically printed and dispatched would be great.
2. cost - On the camp, the cost would probably be low, as there would be high volume sales and we want to capture the pocket money market. I understand that post-event sales would probably cost more due to p&p, outside printing etc.
3. cataloguing - my media team will be taking photos throughout the week and uploading to a central server. ideally, a way to link this in to an index that people on camp can search through at a terminal, and the same catalogue can be used to purchase online so uploads dont have to be duplicated.
Hope that makes sense, and i look forward to hearing any ideas.
In addition, if anyone involved in Scouting/Guiding would like to get involved, i would be equally pleased to hear from you!
Thanks
Christopher
