KODAK Gallery Partners with SocialTwist for "Holiday Value Packs"

Innovative program uniquely rewards customers for referring their friends

EMERYVILLE and MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Oct. 25, 2011 /PRNewswire/ --KODAK Gallery (http://www.kodakgallery.com), the only online photo service uniquely designed for KODAK MOMENTS, today announced a partnership with SocialTwist (http://www.socialtwist.com) to leverage their customer acquisition platform to power a new referral-driven purchase solution called "Holiday Value Packs."

Using "Holiday Value Packs," consumers can get tremendous value on timely products for the upcoming holiday season. Customers can select an offer (worth more than $100) and get an immediate discount, or they can share it with their friends, through facebook.com; and/or email and get an even bigger discount. The program uniquely links together customer value with new business.

"The 'Holiday Value Packs' is an innovative way for KODAK Gallery to generate new business, using the social media connections of their customers," said SocialTwist CEO Vijay Pullur. "We're excited to partner with KODAK Gallery and put together a program that rewards customers for generating impactful referrals from their friends and family."

A recent study from Gartner noted that 75% of consumers look to people in their social networks before making purchase decisions. Separate studies from eMarketer and Nielsen have shown that consumers are also far more inclined to trust the advice and brand referrals coming from their friends.

"Social networks are making huge changes in consumer behavior, particularly in how people make decisions on brands and products," said Victor Cho, General Manager of KODAK Gallery, Eastman Kodak Company.  "Coupon companies and third party discounts are not the only way to offer 'social marketing.' KODAK Gallery can improve this dynamic by tying rewards to valuable referrals--which is why we are thrilled to work with SocialTwist, a pioneering platform that links rewards to desired consumer outcomes, to create win-wins for brands and consumers."

From now until November 30, KODAK Gallery will offer three versions of the "Holiday Value Packs" giving customers discounts for valuable holiday product bundles at 30% off retail value. Sharing with at least three friends earns a 50% discount, and the bundle is offered free when three purchases are confirmed.
