According to a press release, the growth indicates that retailers from all over the world are taking notice of the latest services and strategies LifePics implemented in 2010 to create new, profitable revenue streams for the company’s network of photofinishers. Vahe Christianian, Founder and Vice President of Sales and Business Development at LifePics, stated, "Our Retail Network experienced a tremendous period of growth in Q3 2010. We launched many new services, integrations, partnerships, and apps in 2010, and took a giant leap forward compared to other providers. Retailers are realizing that our platform is the most open and versatile solution in the photo industry; we can send orders to our retail partners from anywhere digital photos are stored and shared, and connect to any lab equipment.
The recent additions to the LifePics Network include a variety of retail chains and several high profile retailers in international markets. A total of 60 new retailers signed up with LifePics since the beginning of July 2010, including ScanMyPhotos.com, an Irvine, CA-based retailer that specializes in turning film prints into digital images; Hooper Camera and Imaging, a Los Angeles area retailer with three locations; Henry’s, a Toronto-based camera retailer with 33 locations; and Dan’s Camera City, an Allentown, PA-based award winning retailer.
