A new selection of Film posters have been added to the Kodak Express Toolbox
Film sales are booming so make sure you are letting customers know you sell it - and if you are not stocking it... you need to start.
A new set of posters have been added to your Kodak Express Toolbox to help you promote both Film Sales and also Film Development Services. We encourage you to download these and use them at your store. The images can also be used on your social media
If you do, we would like to work with you to help you gain more orders for film developing. Many consumers struggle to find stores to process their film in their local area and we would like to assist Kodak Express stores to make sure they are picking up as much of this business as possible. This includes setting up mail-order forms on your website for consumers to use.
If you offer Film Developing Services send us an email now to kex@tetenal.uk.com and we'll contact you to discuss this. As a Kodak Express member there is no cost to you for this.
Save 10% by pre-ordering your Christmas gifting stock during September
Look out for the Christmas Gifting brochure and order form that will be sent to you later this week
By pre-ordering your Christmas stock during September (for delivery in Early October) you can save 10% on the cost
In addition to saving 10%, you will also ensure you dont miss out on any of the popular lines that often sell out well in advance of the busy festive period
Although Christmas seems a long way off... Remember, shoppers are buying Christmas gifts from the beginning of October which is now only four weeks away.
Christmas POS and marketing assets
The Kodak Express Toolbox will be updated during September with a host of posters and other marketing assets to help you make the most of the busiest trading period of the year. We'll send you an email to let you know when these are available... and again, we encourage you to have items up during October so you don't miss out on those well organised customers who like to start their Christmas shopping early.

Building relationships in the local community to help build sales
Building relationships with local businesses, clubs and groups is a great way to build your profile and widen exposure to your products and services.
Target them directly rather than waiting for them to come to you.
You can offer bespoke discounts as well as creating specific products which are attractive to the target market within these areas. Show them a product which appeals to them on a personal level.
We would like to share a further tips and ideas on building relations in the local community – you can down load the 'helpful tips' PDF by clicking the link below.
