To enhance and share their memories, consumers can now easily access and print images from their friends’ facebook albums (in compliance with facebook Privacy Rules), in addition to their own albums, directly from the Kodak Picture Kiosk. This increased social connectivity enables consumers to create Kodak Photo Books, Kodak Personal Greeting Cards, Calendars and other creative projects, ultimately bringing a new dimension to social image sharing.
To celebrate Free Prints Week, Kodak has partnered with popular 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 and convenient 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 from October 17 through October 23 include CVS/pharmacy locations across North America, as well as 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 emails from Kodak in the future, facebook users will be able to download a coupon to print up to twenty (20) free 4×6 instant prints from facebook at a Kiosk.
