Commenting, Paul Jones, Mitsubishi’s Sales Manager stated, “Focus 2013 is becoming an increasingly important part of the photo imaging calendar and particularly so for independent retailers who will be expecting to see how the new generation of photo kiosks can significantly boost incremental revenue opportunities generated from both high-quality prints and photo gifts”. Focus on Imaging is Europe's biggest annual imaging show and as such draws a wide audience including professional and amateur photographers, processors and a growing audience of equipment buyers, including the independent and multiple sectors. Retailers of all shapes and sizes are quickly capitalising on the potential of incremental revenues that photo imaging services can bring. More significantly, retailers are also seeing the growing consumer demand for photo gifting, whereby photos images can be applied to a wide range of products such as mugs, t-shirts, mobile phone cases as well as calendars, photo books and greetings cards.
