Children’s photo albums have traditionally been special possessions. In the past, companies such as Boots the Chemist have found that their sales have thrived from the extra traffic that photograph processing brings. Shoppers are vital to any central store – so businesses have forked out handsomely for top notch town centre outlets.
In recent times however, the landscape in photography has developed in itself hugely – the progress of modern technology in cameras merged with the affordability of quality personal computers and programmes that allow superior results has jolted the industry forward quickly. Add in the omnipresence of the internet and it was only a matter of time until a product became apparent that is not only better value and less hassle than delivering your pictures to the middle of town shop to get them processed.
The market leader in the online processing sector is without doubt Snap Fish, acquired by Hewlett Packard. Snap Fish offer a generous free trial which means you can get 30 free prints printed without placing an order, and the results are excellent. Additionally the shopping time is also extremely quick – the site might state the order will be delivered to you inside a fortnight, but in our experience, this is more likely to be within a couple of days.
Get your free thirty prints here.
Even when you’ve used up your free offer, the pricing is very reasonable – just 9p per photograph, or seven pence if you pay for a block of credits and use them as you need them. Even the postage is competitively costed – under a pound a order.
Other new products have also arisen out of this fledgling company, such as oversize enlargements, and photobooks. They make incredible gifts for family members, especially elder generations who time and again have looked at their prized photographs time and time again.
Why not dig out the camera today and get three or four up to date pictures for your relatives? All you need to do is upload them to the SnapFish website and you can even get your initial thirty photos for nothing.
