Photofinishers face daunting challenges in today's changing economy. Film profits are not what they used to be and the pressure to cut costs and to offer a variety of products just to remain competitive is at the forefront of owners' minds.

The Lucidiom APM and Luci kiosks work with your business. What does that mean?

• The kiosks can connect to your existing printer. Even though digital is replacing film as the preferred format, people are still taking pictures. Prints are still a viable business. So are enlargements. So are a wide-variety of photo gifts and digital image products.

• Offer YOUR fulfillment services. Do you offer a 1-hour service at a premium? Do you want to offer instant prints AND overnight service? Do you want to have your kiosk at one location and your printer at another? With the flexibility of Lucidiom's kiosk solutions, you can have it your way. Photo services represent one of the highest margin product lines and can help best represent your chain position in the market. Whether you have a fully-staffed photo department or place self-service kiosks on your sales floor, the photo category should differentiate your store to your customers. Customers determine a return-trip to a retail store based on the experience that reinforces the store brand. The Lucidiom kiosk program is all about your store brand and how you relate that to your customers. Let Lucidiom build a kiosk experience that is fun and exciting for your customers and boosts your profit margins.

• Expansion opportunities! It is hard to keep up with all the new digital products. The APM and Luci kiosks make it easy. Use the APM to add a digital frame for the local high school graduation. For you, it's a simple 5x7 print. For your local photographer or proud parents, it's a customized treasure they can't get anywhere else. Add a Luci to your line-up and tap into the creativity of your customers. Luci comes with hundreds of unique products and layouts, and is updated with more each month.
