Rite Aid 菲林之謎!?有藥用成份的醫學菲林!?

近排一堆人走黎問我Rite Aid 係咪新既菲林廠商, 菲林依家仲會有新廠? 唔執已經偷笑,襯呢幾日有少少空檔, 即係搵一搵料同八一八,我系D行家度收風,有人同我講系Fuji OEM黎的,起初我都唔信,之後我上網搵Rite Aid 的資料

原來佢系一間美國有5千多間門市的連鎖藥劑店,唔通系有藥用成份的醫學菲林!?但究竟關菲林咩事? 唔通d 藥品可以reuse / 改造成新菲林? 原來一切都只係誤會

原來只係Fujifilm USA 睇中對方有大量門市, 所以就系人地門巿開設沖曬專櫃, 同埋賣負片, 至於D負片係咪特別D,咁就不得而知喇,只可以講系Fuji 200 OEM版

但一條新型號菲林,要做好多測試同demo,如果只係為一個consignment,我相信就唔會係D 咩新野, packing 要改就容易, 要換湯又換藥,而家呢個巿場就應該好難喇,就算係換藥,都唔會出24張唔直接出36張啦, right?

另外24張的菲林,沖菲林費同36張一樣,筒菲林就算平左$2,你計返上黎都一樣系貴的,除非一樣系有沖晒店願意24張收平D,世界無奇,或者有人願意呢,大家等呢個好消息啦 XD

以下系Rite Aid 同 Fujifilm的Announce Comprehensive Photo Solutions Agreement,各位問過我的朋友仔,我貼出黎等大家自行分曉

Rite Aid and Fujifilm Announce Comprehensive Photo Solutions Agreement

Rite Aid Stores Nationwide To Launch Expanded, State-of-the-Art Photo Services Starting This Summer

Camp Hill, PA and Valhalla, NY, (April 9, 2008) - Rite Aid Corporation (NYSE: RAD), the third largest U.S. drugstore chain with more than 5,000 stores nationwide, and FUJIFILM U.S.A. Inc., a market leader in providing complete retail photo imaging solutions, today announced an all-inclusive imaging solutions agreement. Under the terms, Fujifilm will provide a comprehensive range of photography solutions, including online and in-store photofinishing services and consumer photo products, to Rite Aid. The new services will be offered to Rite Aid customers starting this summer.

With this new multi-year agreement, Rite Aid customers will enjoy a significantly wider range of state-of-the-art photo products and services through more convenient, easier-to-use technology.

Rite Aid Photo centers will operate using Fujifilm GetPix kiosk instant print solutions and Fujifilm Frontier Dry Lab solutions. Fujifilm will also be the exclusive supplier to Rite Aid for brilliant color film, including a selection of convenient Fujifilm One Time Use Cameras, Fujicolor Crystal Archive Paper and chemical supplies. Fujifilm will also provide send-out photofinishing services by Fujicolor Processing, including prints, photo books, greeting cards, enlargements and a wide range of new heirloom-quality photo gift products, such as blankets, ties and other items.

Rite Aid customers will have the added convenience of an easy-to-use photo website from the comfort of their own homes, which will allow them delivery of their purchases to any Rite Aid store across the country. So if a customer orders traditional 4"x 6" prints or a creative photo gift, relatives who live in another part of the country can pick them up at their local Rite Aid without the added cost of packing and shipping the items.

When customers choose to visit Rite Aid stores in person, they will be able to use a kiosk display similar in design to the Web experience, but with an additional convenience. Customers will be able to get their prints made in minutes, on the same day or in a few days in most stores, depending on the customer's choice.

"We're excited to be able to provide our customers with the latest in photo technology, products and services," said Bryan Shirtliff, Rite Aid senior vice president category management. "Fujifilm offers the most complete photo solution for Rite Aid."

"Our agreement sets the stage for creating a 'Best in Class' photo solution for our more than 5,000 Rite Aid stores nationwide," said John Pollock, Rite Aid vice president category management. "Fujifilm will be our partner and the end-to-end solution provider as we re-launch our photo products business."

"We are proud to be partnering with one of the nation's leading drug store chains. This agreement is a testament to the confidence Rite Aid has in Fujifilm, and our commitment to the photo retail business," said Bing Liem, vice president sales, Imaging Group, FUJIFILM U.S.A. "We have a deep understanding of the needs of the retail photo market, and look forward to continuing to innovate on the behalf of consumers, who know they can rely on Fujifilm."
