'Photos by Phone' turns out to be a wrong number
Article Abstract:
MediaHippo LLC COO Hugh Taylor recounts his experience in attempting to develop an innovative company service called 'Photos by Phone.' The concept appeared to be promising and involved providing customers who brought rolls of film to be developed with color proof sheets that they could take home and peruse at leisure. Having made their selection from the sheets, these customers could then telephone the firm, give a pre- assigned password and order the prints desired. However, marketing research proved that the service might not be popular, so the proposed service was scrapped.
