Lucidiom Inc., developer of the APM photo kiosk, will preview its expanded Luci, a creative photo kiosk program, to Europe during Photokina in September. Packed with new content and products for photofinishing, scrapbook and craft retailers, Luci will help European retailers expand their profits as they head into the coming holiday-selling season.
Luci first debuted this past winter with photo kiosk features tailored for scrapbookers, such as exclusive Luci Layouts and specialty borders. During the Photokina tradeshow this September in Germany, Luci introduces additional creative photo category products for the European market: Wall Art, Collages, DVD Cinema and Red Letter Cards, as well as numerous new Luci Layouts and print sizes.
"Retailers consistently need to go beyond the standard photo print in order to increase profits and to offer more creative solutions to their customers. Luci does just that. It's an entire program designed to bring the digital photo business and the paper creativity business together," said Lucidiom Vice President of Scrapbook & Craft Business Development Kesley Anderson. "With Luci's new products, retailers can expand their product offerings and reach out to a wider range of customers from moms and dads to teenagers to grandparents anyone who wants to take their family memories and display them creatively."
With Luci, consumers can make personalized Wall Art from their photos, combine photos in themed Collages and create customized cards and stationery with Red Letter Cards. Luci also comes with borders that coordinate with Prism's Prismatic Packs and a newly expanded line of Luci Layouts for scrapbooking. Retailers get a batch of new content designs each month to keep customers coming back.
A non-paper product now available on Luci is DVD Cinemaa simple-to-create photo slideshow put to one of a number of musical styles. Early retail adopters of the DVD product have reported higher than expected ROI and extremely positive customer response.
