Are you stoked that Jessops isn’t dead? Want to jump on the Peter Jones revival bandwagon? Well, now you can, because the new Jessops website is almost here, and you can sign up for updates! Amazing.
Along with a “sign up for relaunch updates” Jessops “Photo” is up and running, allowing you to buy all manner of photobooks, prints and calendars. In fact there’s even some free photo software for you to download — exciting stuff.
I guess when you’re an online-only business, flogging cameras against giants like Amazon, then you have to try and do something a bit extra. Photobooks aren’t it for me, but maybe they are to the punters of Jessops of old? We’ll see how long Jessops online can last. Peter Jones does seem to know what he’s doing though, as he’s the owner of Expansys, which seems to be doing alright. [Jessops via Amateur Photographer via TechRadar]

Jessops: It's All Amazon's Fault
Photobooks just aren’t popular in the UK, I work for a company that is involved in the industry and it’s a struggle at best.
Don’t know why we need another. Photobox cater for the low end of the market, and pro’s use Blurb/Visionart/Kiss/Jorgensen depending on their budget.
I can’t say I’ve ever thought of buying a photobook. Seems like a backwards step to me from taking digital photos. Mind you, I never look at the photos I’ve shot anyway, so maybe I’m a bad example.
Photo books seem to be for those who think its modern and a step forward from film cameras!
I guess they might be a nice add on for a wedding…
Me neither, I have no use for a photo once I have captured the photons in the correct configuration to meet my needs.
In my experience, Expansys are gits.
Ive never heard of them until today?
Who shops there?
I have heard of them before but never shopped, they need to build more customer confidence.
I *love* Expansys.
Right at the start of the Thailand hard-drive crisis they were still the selling particular Enterprise model I use (WD RE4) at the normal price of ~£130, so I ordered a few… and they honoured my order. Ebuyer and all the other retailers had already bumped the price on their stock they already in the warehouse to £400.
I won a free Galaxy SIII from them so I love them (or my missus does anyway, I wouldn’t been seen dead without a HTC)
I’ve still got my vouchers! I wonder if I can use them?
Probably not, sadly.
“Are you stoked?” – No, I’m English ^_^.
Woo hoo, might be able to get my hands on another Jessops brand flash gun
