Share emotions with your grandmother using e-motiondelivery

    In this topic, I would like to present to the attention of the respected Habrasociety a service for online printing and photo delivery. A service that will help you easily and simply share emotions with your near and dear ones.

    “All you need is to send us a digital photo, and we will make sure that your relatives and friends get quality and professional pictures in my hands.”

    image The idea of ​​having a service came up after I sent it to my hometown with photos and souvenirs for my relatives. I have long forgotten the times when I lived with my parents, and I had the opportunity to visit my grandparents at least once a week, because I, like many of you, probably live and work very far from my hometown.

    To keep in touch, to share my emotions and impressions, photography helps me. It may sound corny, but it’s the good and high-quality pictures that show the plot that have been pleasing my grandmother for more than a year and allowing us to communicate with her from a distance. This is always unexpected for her, pleasant and cannot but rejoice.

    That is how e-motiondelivery was born - an online photo printing and delivery service that will allow you to send a photo from your mobile phone directly to your inbox.

    Lyrical digression



    In the era of rapid development of the Internet, sharing information with your friends and relatives has become much easier - just register on any of the social networks and you have great opportunities - you want to upload photos, you want videos, you want to tag friends in your photos and much, much another.

    But imagine a normal situation - you, a young student, live and study away from home. This tipping point comes for most of us. A bunch of new emotions, hobbies and ... photos that you really want to show to your distant friends, parents, grandparents. How to be? Send photo by email? Share on your personal page in the social. network? Can. But it’s unlikely that your grandmother knows what facebook, classmates, VKontakte, email, and indeed the Internet are.

    This is where the good old and proven method comes to the rescue - photo printing. You just need to print photos and send to the desired address.

    Where is my flash drive? You ask yourself. Find it, upload your photos to it, find the nearest print service, wait a few hours, and here they are - treasured photos. But that is not all. Now you will need to walk to the post office to buy an envelope, fill it in and put it in the mailbox. Conveniently? That is why most of us began to abandon the traditional press.

    Electronic information is quickly updated, outdated, and losing relevance. Can you now find your electronic photographs of 2 or 3 years ago? Probably yes, but with difficulty, in some sort of "thick" multi-gigabyte folder with a bunch of unnecessary "temporary" photos. Now ask your parents to show you your children's photos and after 5 minutes you will be holding an old, shabby little album with beautiful, specially selected photographs. Isn't that impressive? So why wait?

    Why do we need another photo printing service? There are already a million of them!



    All right. Services that offer a lot of photo printing. They are in any city, photo printing salons are found at almost every step. Why do we need one more? You ask. Let's look at the process of printing photos through an online print site.

    Here is a list of actions that you need to perform in order to print your pictures and send to relatives (it may be slightly adjusted, depending on the services of a particular service):
    1. Upload photos from your computer to the site. This usually happens in a browser window, after filling out a form with a bunch of personal data.
    2. Choose a printing method, select printing paper, paper size, determine the cost of printing.
    3. Confirm the order and deposit money (there can be any number of ways from the simplest to the most sophisticated).
    4. Pick up the finished photos in the office of the company. Or use the services of a courier.
    5. Buy an envelope, pack photos, fill in the address and send.

    Difficult? Laziness? Yes. That is why most of our photos are stored in electronic form and that is why a service was born that allows you to take a fresh look at the printing and delivery of photos.

    Here are three simple steps you need to take to get your photos directly from your mobile phone to the mailbox of any of your recipients or recipients:
    1. Register on e-motiondelivery.com (no more than a minute).
    2. Pay for a subscription (by choosing one of the three tariff plans).
    3. Upload photos in any way convenient for you - through a web browser, online editor, by email, through an album on VKontakte or Facebook, send photos directly from your mobile phone.

    Your photos will be printed on Kodak photo paper and mailed to your recipients once or twice a month (depending on the chosen tariff). Standard photo size - 10x15.

    Short video on working with the service - the internal interface and several ways to add recipients are shown.



    We wanted to simplify the process of transferring a digital image to a photo as much as possible, so we added the ability to export photos from social networks to your personal account on the e-motiondelivery website.

    How it works? You need to add our user as a friend, create a photo album with the name e-motiondelivery and transfer the photos you would like to print to it. All pictures will be automatically transferred to your personal account and added to the print queue.

    Photobooks in a new format



    Another feature of the service is the ability to order a photo book with an original design from the photos of your album in the social. networks. Your photos will be printed along with user comments. At the moment, two types of photobooks are available - VKontakte photobook and Facebook photobook.

    The format of photo books and their design allow you to place your photos so that they are not distorted, stretched or compressed.

    The finished photo book will be sent to you or your addressee by mail. This, by the way, is a very good and original gift.

    The technical side of the issue, prices and organization of the printing process



    I will briefly touch on the technical side of the printing process, sending and maintenance of the service. At the moment, our site is located on a paid foreign hosting, which should be noted as a minus, because with a large influx of visitors there is a high probability that the site will lie down. The plans are to move to our own servers.

    Photos are printed on their own equipment in a specially equipped place for this - mini laboratories. This can significantly reduce the cost of printing and control quality. All printed photos are packed in the same laboratory and sent by courier to the post office. Delivery is carried out by Russian Post. Photobooks are sent in 1st grade.

    Photos are delivered to many cities in Russia and other countries. All you need to do is provide the exact delivery address.

    Now about the prices - a monthly subscription will cost you 150 rubles. For this money, you get the opportunity to send printed photos once a month (sending is done on the 25th of the current month) - 15 photos 10x15 in size to one recipient. Each additional addressee will cost 150 rubles.

    If you want to send your photos twice a month, then the Monthly 2 tariff plan is suitable for you, the cost of which is 250 rubles per month.

    For those who rarely and little sends photos there is a one-time rate. The cost of printing one photo is 10 rubles + 35 rubles for delivery to one addressee. This is a rather expensive tariff and therefore it is cheaper to choose a monthly subscription.

    Payment processing is carried out through the RBKMoney and ROBOKASSA services.

    The plans include Android applications, an iPhone for uploading photos, an online gift shop that you can add to your shipment — perhaps these will be magnets with the symbols of cities.

    Project site - carefully, we are afraid of the habraeffect :)

    We will be happy with your suggestions for improving the service, as well as constructive criticism.
