Best Practices

• •Emphasize Heritage and Expertise: Consistently reference the connection to ILFORD's long history and HARMAN Technology's expertise in black and white photography. Use phrases like 'decades of experience,' 'trusted by photographers,' 'the science of silver gelatin.'
• •Highlight Quality and Precision: Use specific terms that convey high standards, such as 'genuine ILFORD materials,' 'process-controlled development,' 'meticulous scanning,' 'archival quality prints.'
• •Maintain a Passionate yet Professional Voice: Let the love for film photography shine through with enthusiastic language, but balance it with a professional and knowledgeable tone that instills confidence. Avoid overly casual or slang terms.
• •Focus on the Tangible Benefits: Explain what makes traditional processing and printing special – the 'richness,' 'depth,' 'tonal range,' 'archival permanence' – connecting the service to the photographer's artistic goals.
• •Ensure Clarity and Accessibility in Service Descriptions: While conveying expertise, make sure service descriptions (e.g., different scan types, film formats handled) are easy to understand for both seasoned photographers and those newer to film. Clearly outline the mail-in process.
