Just seen the sad news that Jessops are going into administration. Let's hope they can be rescued, although it seems inevitable that some stores will close.
I noticed that while the stores are still trading they're not accepting gift vouchers. I'm sure those who are running the chain now are acting within the law but I do feel sorry for anyone sitting on one of these, probably as a Christmas gift. What can be done?
If I were running a competitor I'd offer to cash these in against sales of new equipment - but I'd knock 50% off face value. In effect this would involve selling photo hardware at cost price, buying huge amounts of goodwill along the way.
Sadly we don't sell any hardware, we just provide services. But it did set me thinking ..... What can we do?
OK, if you have an unused Jessops voucher we'll accept it at 50% face value against our photo scanning service. Just send it in with your photos and we'll credit that against our normal rates. This offer will remain valid until the end of February.
