Rochester, NY—Kodak announced Free Kodak Prints Week, an opportunity for customers to print photos from their Facebook accounts for free directly from a Kodak Picture Kiosk from October 17 through October 23.
To enhance and share their memories, consumers can now access and print images from their friends’ Facebook albums in addition to their own albums, directly from the Picture Kiosk. This increased social connectivity enables consumers to create Kodak photo books, personalized greeting cards, calendars and other creative projects.
“Kodak is dedicated to providing customers unique solutions to help create and share their memories,” said Larry Trevarthen, vice president, Worldwide Marketing, Retail Systems Solutions, Kodak. “There are billions of photos stored on Facebook and there is a strong desire to convert these photos into personalized memories. Through our Free Prints Week, we are providing customers an easy and convenient solution to free Facebook photos at no cost by visiting one of our exceptional retail partners.”
To celebrate Free Prints Week, Kodak partnered with Tumblr, My Parents Were Awesome (MPWA) to host a contest, as a way to encourage people to print and share recent photos and those of the past. MPWA was designed as a forum to celebrate family history through photography by inviting users to submit vintage photos of their parents from their youth. Both MPWA and Kodak not only provide consumers unique ways to expand their social imaging capabilities but also share their memories with photos from the present and the past, where and when they like.
Retail partners participating in Free Prints Week include CVS/pharmacy locations, select Bartell Drugs, Discount Drug Mart, Lewis Drugs and Ritz Camera locations. By “liking” Kodak on Facebook during this time period and opting in to receive e-mails from Kodak, Facebook users will be able to download a coupon to print 20 free 4×6 instant prints from Facebook at a kiosk. kodak.com
