Kenro offers new space-saving solutions for retailers

 Leading frame and album distributor, Kenro, has launched two new point-of-sale stands for retailers to display a comprehensive range of products in a space efficient manner.

Manufactured from strong metal, one model has been designed for large poster frames whilst the other is for medium photo frames. Both stands have a black finish and are extremely versatile, meaning retailers can help maximise choice for customers without compromising on space. 

Commenting on the new stands, managing director Paul Kench said: "Retail space is always at a premium so we set about designing these two new stands very much with the retailer in mind, they have been designed to enable shops with restricted floor space to display a good range of Kenro products within a small footprint. Our frames offer retailers great profit margins and I'm sure the two stands will help push frame sales."

 To compliment these new stands, Kenro has also launched a number of new frames and albums for 2013 to enhance their already established Baby, Professional and Gift Frame collections.

09.30 Why is “convergence” worth
looking at?

Tim Constable of Rycote shows how to make the video even better.More video content is being
created and watched than ever before. Over 72 hours are uploaded on Youtube per
minute. It monetizes over 1 billion views per week. Users with spot on content
make money. Their viral success is not image alone with at least 50% being
great audio. Video is too big to ignore and to produce a good video with great
audio is not rocket science! However your customers capture video, audio is
always an issue. We have the solutions.

10.30 "Print it or
lose it" . Danny Williams of Swains introduces a new promotional campaign for getting your
customers, who now capture many more images than ever before, to print them.
They have many ideas on how you can promote this very strong message both in
store and using local advertising. 

The programme is supported with posters for you to download and print and use in
store and in your windows.

11.30  Photo Print products. Jeremy Wills, Future Source Jeremy’s

session will  quantify the current photo
output markets (photo-prints, photobooks and merchandise), discuss what is
driving and impacting these markets and provide the outlook for the next few
years. While looking at UK
data the session will also make wider European reference with a view to help
detecting trends.

12.30 Lunch

13.30 Swapping cameras
for camera phones Megan
Baldock of GfK will provide evidence of the move from compact cameras to
smartphones. What are the demographics for smartphone users and how will this
impact efforts to get them to make prints?

14.30 Prints from phones. Steve Giordano of Lucidiom presents
data regarding smartphones and prints. Is “Publishing” rather then “printing”
still the way to move this market forward in the same way as the higher priced
camera users have adopted this approach?

15.30 ID Photos Update.

Olivier Gimpel presents the latest moves in the digital photo ID market. The campaign
to preserve the printed ID photo market and to continue to direct the public to
the photo retailer is moving forward and this session will provide details of
the current and future state of play and of future actions and activities to
keep this topic at the forefront.

11th November 2011 and Mini Lab Help.com is happy to go live with a brand new look for the main web site.

 Neil Taylor from Mini Lab Help.com says "Its amazing how popular Mini Lab Help is. We now have over 7,000 registered and verified users, and as well as the Mini Lab, we also have the general photo lab community from around the world following us.

Our new look gives social media a look in, with the way that we are interacting with the likes of Facebook and Twitter.

Mini Lab Help.com has always been a "FREE" site for users and we hope that it will always remain that way. But it does take a considerable amount of time to admin and look after the site.

I would like to say a very special thank you to those that have donated, and to the Mini Lab Help supporters thank you.
