PMA debuts Photo Publishing Quickstart

The PMA Photo Publishing Quickstart online resource, available to all PMA+ members, includes: The Digital Big Picture, an overview of the photo publishing market; a business marketing plan for the photo publishing market; marketing research reports on the photo publishing market; ROI calculator and analysis; success stories from photo retailers; and coming soon, a photo publishing software comparison tool. The Digital Big Picture is a comprehensive analysis of the photo publishing market, and details the key elements to understand to be successful in this market.

Photo publishing now represents 35 percent of total digital photo printing revenue, up from 24 percent in 2005. While revenues from standard digital photo printing declined 3 percent in 2009, photo publishing revenue grew, and is expected to continue growing in 2010 and beyond. Photo publishing products give photo businesses a pathway into the multi-billion dollar stationery and gifting businesses by providing unique (better) and cheaper stationery and gifting products.

Photo publishing will be a major theme surrounding the upcoming PMA 2010 International Convention and Trade Show, Feb. 21-23, at the Anaheim Convention Center, Anaheim, Calif.
