We were only doing about $1 million in business a year, and we simply were not able to make money a
31、ny more on film-based products. The only way for the business to grow was to take a leap of faith, My business partner, Webb White, and I scrapped everything in late 1999 and reinvented the company as a digital photography printer. We woke up very early to the fact that the digital production proces
32、ses lent themselves to a much smaller percentage of material and labor consumption, thereby giving us the margins we needed to survive and prosper over time.Speaker 2By early 2002, White House Custom Colour had gone from 100 percent film to 100 percent digital. The companys repositioning vision had
33、proven to be correct. In 2000, there were 1,700 to 1,800 professional finishing labs around the country that focused on our niche of the industry, which is finishing for professional portrait and wedding photographers. They either made the switch or have gone out of business. Today, there are maybe
34、150 to 200. We decimated the competition in the North-Central United States because digital technology and the Internet made us a national player. We have customers in all 50 states and all the provinces of Canada. Our nearest direct competitors now are a company in Fargo and a company or two in Wat
35、erloo, Iowa.Speaker 3A quick look at the industry pricing structure explains why so many film-based competitors went belly up.

36、-day delivery of the same prints for $1.80. Many of our competitors were $5 to $20 million-dollar companies that had invested heavily in their film infrastructure and wanted to protect that $4 to $5 price. As digital processing gained traction industry wide, the staff guided numerous customers throu
37、gh the transition, showing them how they could cut their finishing costs by half or more by investing around $10,000 in a digital camera and digital workstation. By the time our competitors had begrudgingly followed our lead, we had built up significant momentum which continues to this day.Speaker 4
38、I joined White House Custom Colour in 1996 as an equal partner with White, who founded the company in 1978.

B.C.D.解析：解析 23-30M1: Londons Savile Row is famous for its independent tailoring shops that have been selling bespoke mens clothing along the short street since 1623. But in an era of outsourcing, e-tail, and mass production, these storied operations, which rely on skilled artisans to make their costly suits by hand, seem to belong to a different world. Its a world Richard Anderson knows well. At 17 he became an apprentice at famed tailor Henry Huntsman & Sons, a fixture on the Row.
