12. MARKETING IN ACTION INNOVATON AT KINKO’S A copy machine operator at Kinko’s , a major chain of outlet providing copying and document services, noticed that customer demand for copying dropped off in December. People were too pre-occupied with Christmas presents. So he came up with a creative idea. Why not allow customers to use Kinko’s colour copying and binding facilities to create their own customised calendars using their personal photos for each of the months? He prototyped the idea in the store and it proved popular- people could create personalised gifts of calendars featuring favourite family photos. The operator phoned the founder and CEO of Kinko’s, Paul Orfalea, and explained the idea. Orfalea was so excited by it that he rushed out as a service in all outlets. It was very successful and a new product- custom calendars – and a new revenue stream were created.
