KODAK Photo Zone Consumer Event

In September, Kodak opened a new Photo Zone at Wal-Mart in Burlington, Ontario.  This store delivers a one-of-a-kind experience and brings the future of photography to Canada.  We wanted to show consumers how they can create, print and purchase amazing keepsakes at the new KODAK Photo Zone so we decided to host a workshop in November with Kodak spokesperson, Kim Kerr.





Here's what we learned:



Cassandra has been using Kodak software to store and develop her pictures since 2004. She has a huge book full of CDs that contain her favorite photos. Cassandra is very proud of how organized she is when it comes to organizing and storing her photos.

She uses the kiosks at the KODAK Photo Zone to make a variety of projects, including calendars for her mom and various photo-gifts for friends and family. On November 18th, she visited the Photo Zone to create a photo book for one of her good friends.



Linda's daughter is currently traveling the world and often sends her CDs full of photos documenting her latest adventures and the sights she has seen. Linda loves to receive these photos and uses the kiosks at the KODAK Photo Zone to create calendars for her relatives in Europe.

Linda enjoys taking photos of her dogs and around the house and developing them at the kiosks. She finds the kiosks very easy to use and loves that fact that her calendars - and anything else she creates - can be completed in just one hour. She watched the store being built and is very impressed with what the KODAK Photo Zone has to offer.



Allison loves the KODAK Photo Zone and uses the kiosks all the time. She is very proud of the fact that she now knows how to "get her pictures off of her camera". Allison often uses the kiosks to develop photos but is really interested in learning how to create more detailed projects such as Picture Movie DVDs. She plans on practicing at the KODAK Photo Zone until she's a master of all things Photo Zone-related.
 


Beth really enjoys using the kiosks at the KODAK Photo Zone. She finds the entire process very convenient and loves the fact that she is able to bring her young son (and budding photo enthusiast) Matthew to the Photo Zone with her. Matthew loves to watch the developed pictures come out at the bottom of the kiosk. Because Beth is a busy mom, she appreciates how quickly her photos are developed.



November 18th marked Kirsten's first visit to the KODAK Photo Zone and also her first time using the kiosk. So far, she loves it! Kirsten thinks the kiosks are "fabulous" and finds them very easy to use, even for a first-timer.

Kirsten is admittedly not the most technology-savvy so she really enjoys the fact that the kiosks are so intuitive and user-friendly.



Mary has taken pictures of her son and his two best friends on their first day of school every year since they were three years old. On November 18th, she used a kiosk at the KODAK Photo Zone to create cards for them using this year's picture, rather than just giving them a framed photo. Mary believes the cards she created are much more personal than store-bought cards.
