Smilebox Adds Direct-to-Store Printing to Walmart and Sam's Club in Time for Holiday 2009
REDMOND, WA, Nov 23, 2009 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) --
Smilebox Inc., a leading photo services company, announced today its
customers can now print directly to any Walmart or Sam's Club in the
United States from within the Smilebox service, then pay and pick up
prints at their local store in as little as an hour. The
direct-to-store printing lets customers select from any of the
service's 900 designs, including 5x7 and 6x8 holiday cards and
invitations with envelopes. The new feature is available to
customers of both the free and premium Smilebox services.
The Smilebox direct-to-store printing service offers a wide selection
of greeting cards and invitations designed by leading artists for a
variety of occasions, including holiday and birthday. Customers can
also create and print projects such as scrapbook pages, collages and
calendars in 6x8 and 8x8 formats to preserve as keepsakes or share
with others for gift giving. All projects are lab-quality printed on
Fuji photo paper.
"IDC's research indicates consumers are embracing a variety of custom
photo printing products and services, and are expecting flexibility in
how, where and when they order their prints. The partnership Smilebox
has with some of the biggest retailers in the U.S. indicates the
company is well-positioned to meet this demand," said Chris Chute,
manager of IDC's Digital Imaging Practice.
"Our customers wanted to easily order prints of Smilebox creations
for pick up at their local retailer. With the addition of
print-to-store flexibility, we've given our customers another option
for sharing their creations that is as easy as printing at home,"
said Andrew Wright, Smilebox founder and CEO.
This week, Smilebox also introduced customized services for customers
of both Walmart and Sam's Club. Customers who order CDs with their
print orders will receive a co-branded version of Smilebox complete
with 15 premium designs (a $50 value). The co-branded services and
offer are also available via the stores' web sites at
www.smilebox.com/walmart for Walmart customers and
www.samsclub.com/smilebox for members of Sam's Club.
Smilebox lets customers quickly turn life's moments into digital
creations to share with others or to save. Smilebox users can choose
any design, print to retail, email or post to Facebook for free. For
$1.99 to $3.99 customers can purchase and own premium designs to
print at home, save to digital photo frames, get more music choices,
and share full screen without ads. Customers can also subscribe to
Club Smilebox for $5.99/month or $39.99/year for unlimited use of
premium designs as well as the ability to burn their Smilebox
creations to DVD or save video files to an iTouch or iPhone.
Smilebox is available for the PC and Mac platforms.
