How can Walmart make money with an offer like this?
$6.88 gets you one 10x13, two 8x10s, four 5x7s, four 3 1/2 x 5s and 32 wallets.
People are flocking to them. I guess it get's them in the door, but then people expect cheap photos from a quality photographer...

Thats just crazy!!!! But the new Barney and blues clues background draws em in if they don't know any better> I actually tell people, and I really dont care if it hurts my business, to go to walmart if they want walmart pics. Most still like the stuff I do, so I am doing something right?

A German shop called Saturn offered 100 10x15 prints for 10€. That's not bad either, the only problem was to carry them there. I'm not expecting a good quality of prints, though.

The Costco I usually go to has 12x18 prints for $2.99. You can gang up a lot of large and small images on those.
Also a handy way to print two 6x18 (3:1) or three 6x12 (2:1) panoramics.
I've heard a rumor that Costco will soon offer the ability to upload photos via the internet and pick them up at your local store, simalar to what Ritz Camera does now. |

Bussines as usual by Walmart .
After they killed all competitors,now they are after drugstores and mom and pop small one-hour and other photo stores!
They will make the money on other products later :-) |

Yeah that is cheap I used to take my oldest son there almost every other month in 2001 but everytime I just knew all I wanted was 1 pose for the special order and I always ended up wanting the other 5 poses and thats where they get ya, sometimes spending $150.00 on all poses. Shoot I havent done that in long time well since 2001. I like my photos now best :) And the Kodak Photo print thing is much cheaper..

Walmart does the 'net thing too. works well. 1 hour is more expensive than 3 day service.
