Rollout of new KODAK Picture Kiosk Software v4.0 Demonstrates Clear Upsell Opportunity for Photo Retailers
Eastman Kodak Company (NYSE: EK), announced the global availability
of its new KODAK Picture Kiosk Software v4.0, offering powerful new
features and enhancements to Kodak Kiosk, including a number of industry
firsts such as
Kodak Video Snapshots and true one-touch premium products. The new
features are available now in stores throughout the US, Canada and
Germany, and are rolling out now through other parts of Europe,
Australia and South America.
Installations of the new KODAK Picture Kiosk Software v4.0 at
major U.S. retailers are already demonstrating the new platform’s
ability to engage and inspire consumers to create highly profitable
premium photo products:
Recent usage data from Kodak kiosks with KODAK Picture Kiosk software
4.0 installed at leading retailers indicated that one touch premium
upsells are enjoying an amazing acceptance rate of greater than 5%
translating into incremental retailer revenue of over $800 per year per
kiosk.
Initial test results at a major retailer indicate that multiple prints
per day/per store, representing up to $600 in potential retailer revenue
per year, could result from the new connectivity to online photo sites
such as KODAK Gallery, FACEBOOK and PICASA WEB ALBUMS made possible by
the new Kodak Kiosk software - and the test was performed without any
promotion or advertising.
“Kodak’s commitment to retailers is to deliver a superior consumer
experience in store that translates into tangible profit opportunity,”
said Nicoletta Zongrone, General Manager and Vice President, Eastman
Kodak Company. “Our retailer partners love the new Kiosk software
because it solves imaging problems that have been barriers to expanding
photo merchandising, and at the same time, inspires consumers go beyond
the 4x6 prints – to easily create truly memorable photo keepsakes.”
New features of KODAK Picture Kiosk Software v4.0 solve real problems
for consumers and retailers:
In 2010, consumers around the world will capture over 4.5 million
terabytes of video, most of which currently stay locked in digital
files. Kodak’s Video Snapshots unlocks these-in-the-moment video images
and lets consumers use them to create prints, collages, greeting cards,
photo books and calendars, or store them on a CD making them easier to
share and relive. The ability to make memorable still prints, photo
books and collages that consumers can be enjoy at a glance presents an
enormous opportunity for retailers.(2)
The new Software v4.0 also gives consumers using the KODAK Picture Kiosk
the ability to access the photos they have stored or shared on the KODAK
Gallery, FACEBOOK and PICASA WEB ALBUMS, and easily use them to create
photo keepsakes in minutes right in the store. With more than 500
Million active consumers(4) and more than three billion photos uploaded
each month(5) to these sites, the software offers retailers a huge
opportunity to market their unique in-store services to these users.
Designed to help consumers become aware of the powerful new sharing
solutions, and retailers to increase market basket opportunity, the new
software now offers a complete suite of merchandising tools. Fresh,
lively welcome screen messaging offers ideas for new projects right from
the start, and the intelligent one-touch premium upsell feature creates
animated product suggestions using the consumer’s own images, allowing
her to purchase an additional product instantly with the touch of one
button.
In addition to exciting new features, KODAK Picture Kiosk Software v4.0
takes work out for the consumer. The new software requires fewer
consumer touches, writes KODAK Picture CDs up to 33 percent faster, and
creates KODAK Photo Books faster and more easily than with previous
generation solutions. This translates into less queuing, improved
customer satisfaction and more profit potential per minute.
KODAK Picture Kiosk Software v4.0 is in many stores now. For more

Photo Quote: What I mean by objectivity is not the objectivity of a machine, but of a sensible human being with the mystery of personal selection at the heart of it. The second challenge has been to impose order onto the things seen and to supply the visual context and the intellectual framework - that to me is the art of photography. - Berenice Abbott American Photographer, 1898-1991
