What is So GREAT About DVD Cinema?
Let's cut to the chase. The greatest thing about DVD Cinema is its high profit margin.
Retailers can buy blank DVDs for less than $1 and sell DVD Cinema for over $20.
Really.
The Sell Is Easy: Holiday shopping season is well under way, and DVD Cinema is the perfect
last-minute gift because: it is created on the spot, it is a
good price-point for a gift, it is emotional
and personal, it is cheap to ship and will earn great points with photo-deprived parents and grandparents!
Savvy retailers have also demonstrated to their customers that a DVD Cinema pairs nicely with other products they sell in
their stores: photos, frames, posters, etc.
The Technical Details: Luci comes with DVD Cinema. It is available for purchase separately for the APM.
It is presented as an add-on in the software, just like the Image CD. The user checks the box and
the kiosk takes the photos from the customer's media and sets it to one of 6 selections of music.
It is burned right at the kiosk. The software can be set to burn in NTSC or PAL format.
Offer DVD Cinema into your store and take advantage of
those last-minute shoppers...contact our Sales Team at
sales@lucidiom.com or call
one of our offices listed at the bottom of this newsletter for more information.

Meet Lucidiom! |
Michelle Nakagawa, Accounting Assistant
Michelle has been working at Lucidiom for just 4 months as our Accounting Assistant.
She is also studying accounting at the University of Maryland. She has a year
left in school before earning her BA degree and is already planning for more school.
She would like to go to the Smith School at Maryland for an MBA and eventually obtain her CPA.
Michelle is a huge animal lover. At home right now, she has a fish, a cat and a hamster.
(She actually bought the hamster because when she went to the pet
store, he kept trying to climb the wall and she took it as a sign that he wanted Michelle to
save him.) She also has two loveable pit bulls (she is pictured here with Ronin) and
is planning to buy a miniature bull terrier or chow-chow in the near future.
She is a big family person and takes lots of trips to see her family in New Jersey (where
she is from originally), Chicago, and California.
Michelle played the violin for 12 years and has played at Carnegie Hall twice. She has
also played in the musical "Carousel" at the NJPAC (New Jersey Performing Arts Center).
When Michelle isn't studying or at Lucidiom crunching numbers, you might find her
crocheting, cooking (her friends say she make the best southwest
egg rolls), shopping, listening to music, or traveling. Michelle loves to learn new things
...in fact, right now she is teaching herself to speak Japanese so she can speak to her
grandparents in their native language.
