Method for distributing coupons via in-store photo processing equipment

摘要

The method in accordance with this invention involves the use of in-store photo processing equipment. A coupon is distributed to a consumer via the consumer's completed photo processing order. When submitting film for development, or working with a photo kiosk with existing processed film, the consumer provides specific consumer profile information. The in-store photo processing equipment accesses an in-store profile information database to retrieve consumer profile information based upon the specific consumer profile information provided by the consumer. A coupon is selected using the profile information provided by the consumer and examined in the profile information database. The selected coupon is then distributed to the consumer via the completed photo processing order.
