Bonnie & Greg to Talk to Your Group Virtually about Family Story Productions

March 5, 2020 /
Leave a Living Legacy

We believe that it is important to capture stories and family legacy while people are still alive.

Things change fast.

Accidents happen. Wars happen. Coronavirus and other diseases strike.

Suddenly the opportunity to capture stories is gone.

I wanted to travel to Alberta to capture my Uncle Joe’s WW II stories. I got busy with other things. I didn’t have money for gas. Whatever the reason, I did not go that summer.

Next summer the opportunity was gone.

We have been blessed to capture and present many life stories for use in graduation ceremonies, personal milestones, weddings, anniversaries, and personal life stories to leave for future generations.

We also help people create Story Productions themselves.

Our Talk Agenda

Here is our general presentation that we can vary to match the interests of your group.

  • Introduction
  • Why we think capturing personal and family stories are important.
  • Bonnie’s story about the mountain of photos her mother left behind and the challenges of organizing and scanning.
  • Resources for people to do it themselves.
  • Ways we work with people to create Story Productions

At the end we will offer the following:

  • A free gift.
  • Story Production Secrets online course to help families do it themselves.
  • Invitation to work with us. We offer packages from $1,000 to 10,000 with a special package at $3,000 that is perfect for most Story Productions. We may discount to $2,000 for your group.

Affiliate Offer

We have an affiliate or Joint Venture program where your organization will receive 20% of any sales from the presentation. The most likely scenario is that someone books an appointment with us then chooses a package.

By the way, the affiliate program works if you run a short blurb in your newsletter with a link to a special offer. We can provide text that you can edit to taste.

Story Production of Your Organization

We also do Story Productions for businesses and other organizations. Do you want to profile what your organization does?

We offer a short interview with a key member of your organization as thanks for the booking.

Booking

Please contact Greg Dixon at greg@tellyourstory.productions to discuss.

Scan Photos at the Best Resolution for Printing

March 2, 2020 /

Photos print best at 300 dots per inch (dpi) resolution.

That means that an image needs to be 2400 pixels wide and 3000 pixels high to print on an 8 x 10-inch photo paper at 300 dpi.

Scan 8 x 10 photos at 300 dpi.

Scan smaller photos at a higher resolution to have enough pixels to print 8 x 10 at 300 dpi.
