Smilebox announced today that it has acquired Preclick, a Seattle-based software company that enables users to print photos directly to large retailers such as Walmart, Walgreens, Costco, Sam’s Club and Meijers. Smilebox plans to enhance the Preclick retailer offerings for holiday 2009 with custom versions of Smilebox that will provide 1-hour, direct to store printing of Smilebox designs.
Consumers will be able to use retailer versions of the Smilebox service to quickly combine their photos with over 900 quality designs (including cards, collages and invitations as well as scrapbook and photobook pages), then order any page to be printed at store and picked up within the hour. Customers will be able to create, print and pay for individual pages as they go, as opposed to having to spend more time, effort and money to create and order full books. This will be an easier, more flexible and affordable solution.
The retailers that Smilebox will be offering this capability with this holiday season will be announced in the coming weeks.
