KC2 Software

One Seamless, start-to-finish sales to fulfillment solution

The world of professional photography has evolved. To resonate with today's consumers, you need to offer a share/relive/preserve approach. Your clients want digital files to share the great moments that you've captured so beautifully. And they need printed items - such as enlargements, albums and photo keepsakes - to relive and preserve their special memories for a lifetime.

To fulfill all these needs, we're bringing you a streamlined digital + print solution that empowers everything from editing to ordering, and e-commerce to fulfillment. KODAK PROFESSIONAL Keepsakes Collections & Creations Software/KC2 (KC2 for short) focuses on a "collections" strategy, combining the versatility of digital files with the beauty and longevity of printed products. It's an easy, smart, end-to-end system for you and your clients.

Match your selling strategy to the millennial mindset

Millennials – those in the 14- to 34-year-old demographic – have grown up with social media and smart phones at their fingertips. Their perception of photography is different from those who grew up with negatives and prints. Today’s digital photography is more of a disposable, transient activity with a focus on sharing.

However, millennials are transitioning to become Chief Memory Officers (CMOs), responsible for preserving the milestones in their own lives and those of family members. This typically begins at their own wedding or the birth of a first child. Often, armed with only a smart phone, they’re simply not prepared for the job. Because photography to them is fleeting (here now, sent now), they do not have an understanding of how to create a more lasting, formal, higher-quality process and results.

And that’s where you come in.

Be their once-in-a-lifetime moments photo resource through a collections strategy

Pro photographers now have a real opportunity to take a more proactive role in helping this generation be successful as CMOs by sharing your knowledge. And here’s where the collections sales strategy comes in.

A collections approach brings together the versatility of the digital file with the beauty and longevity of printed products to enable consumers to do what they have always done with their treasured memories:

Share with friends and family
Relive them in story form
Preserve them for a lifetime in keepsakes products
Gift and display photos

Collections, grounded in research regarding consumer purchase preferences, are a means to show the value of your expertise and provide purchase advice to help consumers properly commemorate life’s treasured moments. Offering collections is a way to start a discussion with today’s consumers – people who get married, have kids, graduations, want family portraits and more, etc. You can help them see beyond just sharing images to understand how they would like to look back on this moment years from now, and preserve it for generations to come. Technology continues to evolve and change, but there is one technology that has stood the test of time: the photographic print.

For you, this means enlightened, satisfied clients plus increased sales opportunities.
