how can I improve my margins with this family photo magazin service that turns family photos into a monthly printer magazin for grandparents? Each magazin costs me 10€, If I charge 20€ I will need a high volume of customers to reach meaningful monthly MRR

Seems like a very good idea. Grandparents have a lot of money and not much stuff to buy. Do it quarterly instead of monthly (then it follows the seasons and doesn't create too much clutter). Its not clear if you are delivering a print magazine or a digital pdf. Upsell to a print magazine, if you are not already doing it. Seems like it could just be an app on your phone that gets access to pictures, like set-it and forget-it, idk if that's what's going on in your case.

At the moment, it’s a printed magazine with 31 photos, sent out monthly.
The idea is that the children pay for the subscription and upload the photos, while the grandparents simply receive the printed magazine—no tech or apps needed on their end.
We hadn’t considered switching to a quarterly schedule, but that’s an interesting idea, especially to reduce clutter and align with seasonal changes.

Make an app scan phone photos automatically (to be installed by the parents, not grandparents), use LLM to detect if children are in a photo, if so consider it for inclusion in the magazine. Make a digital version that emails PDFs for like $5 and a print for like $30.
With an app you could have the parents install it and set-it-and-forget it.
