HP and Walmart, Duane Reade Strike Up Partnership
Life nowadays is more fast-paced than it ever was. What we would normally wait patiently for we now would like to get in a snap, if we could. This evolution, brought about by innovation, has triggered even further creativity and innovation from manufacturers and service providers.
HP is one of the companies that unceasingly look for ways to do things better and be at the forefront of the various aspects of the printing industry. Recently, a partnership was completed between Walmart and Snapfish, HP’s online photo service. The union hopes to turn Snapfish into an industry leader as far as print-to-store online photo services are concerned.
Photo printing as an industry now offers a whole slew of options that consumers can choose from. While we can still choose to do things old school and drop by the nearest drug store to have our photos printed, we can also choose to order prints online. And then there is, of course, the option of simply printing photos in the comfort of your homes with your own photo printers.
Do-it-yourself printing, however, is only practical if you will only print just a photo or two at a time. The old-school method is time consuming; which brings us to the option of ordering photos online.
The partnership between HP and Walmart and HP and Duane Reade will provide consumers with the convenience of ordering their prints online and be able to pick them up within an hour at a location that is most convenient and nearest to where they are located. It is by far a more attractive option to driving to the photo lab and going back to pick up the prints after an hour.
Consumers who order prints from Snapfish.com can find and choose locations where they can conveniently pick up their prints by entering the zipcode once they check out, With 3,350 participating Walmart outlets and 200 Duane Reade locations, buying lab-quality prints have never been easier.
The service is expected to become available on November 14.
