Legacy Box Groupon Deals & Heavy Advertising Spending
How Legacy Box Groupon Vouchers Work
Groupon connects local businesses with customers through a digital marketplace of discounted deals. Businesses partner with Groupon to offer products or services at a reduced price in exchange for exposure and new customers, with Groupon taking a commission fee. Customers browse and purchase these deals, pay online, and receive a digital voucher to redeem for the product or service at the merchant's location.
Sounds good, right? Here's what they don't tell you:
The Downside of Groupon Vouchers for Slide Scanning
You're Buying Blind: You haven't tested their service. You have no idea what quality you'll actually receive. You're committing to a scanning service based on marketing hype, not actual results.
Pressure Tactics: Groupon deals create artificial urgency—"Limited time!" "Only 5 left!" You're being pushed to make a decision in the moment, under pressure, without doing proper research or comparing services.
You're Locked In: Once you buy that Groupon voucher, you're trapped. No backing out. No refunds if you're unhappy with the quality. You made that decision under pressure, and now you're stuck with it.
You're Not Shopping for the Best Service: You're shopping for the best "deal"—which is not the same thing. The cheapest price rarely delivers the best results, especially when you're trusting someone with irreplaceable family memories.
The Cost of Heavy Advertising
Legacy Box spends enormous amounts on advertising. They previously advertised heavily on The Rush Limbaugh Show. Now they're spending big money buying frequent ad time on the Clay and Buck radio show, along with extensive TV advertising campaigns.
What This Means for You: All that advertising costs money—lots of money. And guess who ultimately pays for those expensive radio and TV spots? The customers. That money could have gone into better scanning equipment, more skilled technicians, or professional editing of every scan. Instead, it's going into convincing you to buy before you've done your research.
Marketing vs. Quality: Heavy advertising doesn't mean you'll be happy with their service. It only means they're spending massive amounts on marketing rather than on the actual scanning quality. Customers who don't do their research don't realize they could have had much better results at a lower price by choosing a service that invests in quality instead of advertising.
Magazine "Endorsements" Don't Mean Much
Legacy Box and similar services love to advertise that they've been "endorsed" or "featured" by various magazines and media outlets. But here's the question nobody asks:
Did any of these endorsements actually do comparison tests with identical scanning items?
From what we can see, the answer is no. These "endorsements" are often paid placements or publicity arrangements—not independent quality tests. No magazine sent the same slides to multiple services and compared the actual results side by side.
We did exactly that. We sent identical slides to Legacy Box, Costco, Walgreen's, and scanned them ourselves. The differences are dramatic.

Our Recommendation: Test Before You Commit
Don't buy a Groupon voucher that locks you in before you've seen the quality. Instead:
Get Free Demo Scans: We offer 10 free demo scans so you can see our quality before spending a penny. Send your most challenging slides—the faded ones, the discolored ones—and we'll show you what professional editing can accomplish.
Compare Actual Results: Look at our comparison pages showing the same slides scanned by Legacy Box, Costco, Walgreen's, and us. See the difference for yourself.
Make an Informed Decision: Choose based on quality and results, not on artificial urgency or heavy marketing. Your irreplaceable memories deserve better than a rushed Groupon purchase.
