fujilab Posted August 8, 2010 Report Share Posted August 8, 2010 How is trading for everyone? With all the technical questions posted it's hard to get an idea of exactly how the industry is faring, ideas, bouquets, brickbats - or whatever else we used to see more of - and I miss it. We are having a good summer, seeing a steady increase in passports and some digital services so that's encouraging. Not sure whats going to be our star performer for Christmas. Anyone else with some some ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teds Posted August 9, 2010 Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 Finding business very slow the moment, people just not spending. My hunch for christmas will be Polaroid are back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noritsuvet Posted August 9, 2010 Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 I agree with Teds. Polaroid will be the one this Christmas. We are busy with passports but otherwise its slower than last year. The streets are quiet. Not sure where all the people are. Seeing some demand for canvas and frames have been movers.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cecilh Posted August 9, 2010 Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 Things are not bad up here in sunny Shetland thanks to more holiday visitors and lots of promotions. Our four Kodak G4s are always busy. Mobile phones and camereas are selling well. Ous Swains rep has come up with some inrernet matching offers so things should get better - fingers crossed!

tpcrichard Posted August 9, 2010 Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 Its our winter season so things are quiet but june & july have been better than the last 2 years so thats a positive. We hope that it will continue though to our summer season. Posters,collages,and scanning have been good. also the photocopying has had a increase.

noritsuvet Posted August 10, 2010 Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 Cecil, what promotions have you found working? We would love to give punters a reason to come in - although I think the nice weather may be why its quieter :-/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cecilh Posted August 10, 2010 Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 Have a look on our web thecameracentre.net . Our Swains rep has come up with lots of internet beating camera offers this month which should help camera sales in the next few weeks. Every camera we sell has a bundle that gives the customera extra savings, more money for us and a fiver to the shop assistant so everyone wins! We price Energiser batteries at £29.99. They cost £5 so if they buy an extra battery they get something free like mini tripod kits. The cheaper AA models have free Kodak chargers with ready to use batteries (which we price at £14.99 and get from Tetenal for £2.50) for anyone who buy a 4gb card @ £19.99 and an overpriced! case.
