Kodak revamps film line with discount option and reformulated tops
Eastman Kodak unveils a new strategy to refresh its consumer film lineup. It will relaunch Ektar as Royal Gold and reformulate Kodak Gold while introducing Funtime as a low-cost option in spring and fall. The plan, paired with 30 new products and computer kiosks, aims to ward off price competition from Fuji and Konica and keep customers loyal amid slipping margins.
