Printroom Tops the Charts With Leading Ecommerce Solutions for Pro Photographers
SANTA CLARA, Calif., Oct. 23 /PRNewswire/ -- The addition of powerful new
web specialty tools and services for professional photographers has led to
significant sustained growth of Printroom, Inc., a leading provider of
websites, online storefronts, printing and fulfillment services to
professional photographers. Printroom was recently named by Inc. Magazine, a
leading magazine for entrepreneurs and small businesses, to its list of the
fastest growing private companies in America, including 47th on the list of
the Top 100 Retail Companies and 21st out of the Top 50 Businesses in Silicon
Valley. Printroom was also ranked 27th on the Silicon Valley Business
Journal's annual listing of the 50 Fastest Growing Private Companies.
Mette Eriksen, an analyst with leading industry research firm InfoTrends,
said, "The web is becoming a critical business tool for photographers.
According to an InfoTrends survey of professional photographers 65% cited that
promoting their studio or themselves was among the top 3 issues that they face
as professional photographers. Online photo services in particular have the
ability to remove some of the burdens of running a business from photographers
so that they can focus their efforts on taking photos. Companies such as
Printroom that can offer photographers a one-stop-shop for displaying, selling
and printing photos have a competitive advantage in this market."
Printroom offers its members:
1) Speed: Since launching its Event Website Builder product six months
ago, professional photographers have built nearly 2,500 fully personalized
destination web sites to showcase their clients' special events -- weddings,
sports tournaments, school functions and more. More than just photo
galleries, these are complete websites that can be updated instantaneously
from anywhere with photos, news and information before, during and after an
event.
2) Price: Printroom is the pro photography industry price leader,
providing its nearly 25,000 members with the lowest cost for full-featured,
dynamic websites and ecommerce systems. In the past year alone, more than
4,150 photographers have used Printroom's new Flash Website Builder to create
their own custom, multi-page websites with integrated online storefronts that
rival website development that typically costs thousands of dollars.
3) Efficiency: Printroom's complete ecommerce photo management
application, Printroom Studio Manager (PSM) for PC and Mac, is the most
downloaded pro photography sales system available. It provides pros with a
customizable business workflow for organizing images, preparing photos for
online publishing, uploading photos up to 20 faster than competing platforms,
specifying top quality print and photo gift products, and placing and managing
professional lab orders.
4) Compatibility: Printroom is also helping photographers streamline the
day-to-day operations of their studios. Recent tools such as new plug-ins for
Apple's Aperture 2.0 and iPhoto enable the pro to tightly integrate their
preferred applications and studio workflow with their online storefronts and
presentation galleries.
Andrew Baum, General Manager for Printroom's Pro Photo Business Group
said, "Our objective is providing professional photographers with state of the
art, intuitive tools that let them take full advantage of ecommerce while
promoting their work and services with top-notch branded websites. Our
members are expanding their businesses while dramatically reducing and often
eliminating the labor and financial costs associated with building and
maintaining an online presence. They tell us that we are helping them drive
more business while letting them focus on the parts of the photography
business that they love -- taking pictures and serving their clientele."
