The good news stories just keep coming from the folks at LifePics, the market leader in online digital photo finishing solutions. In their latest newsletter Lifepics has announced the release of two new innovations designed to provide more ways for retailers to make money.
First up is the release of their latest mobile app for the Windows Phone 7 platform. This app is particularly exciting because Microsoft placed a lot of emphasis on making the cameras on these new Windows phones the best camera phones on the market.
Steuart Meers of Photo Direct adds “These phones definitely take great quality images for a camera phone, a feature that Lifepics anticipates will entice more people to use the app to order the photos they take with these phones.”
The free app allows people to order photos from either their phone’s library or their online account directly from the phone. Orders are for pick-up and pay, in store only. The app is the latest to emerge from the Lifepics OPEN program, which was launched last year as a way to drive orders to retailers from wherever digital photos are stored and shared. Lifepics also has iPhone, iPad, Android and Facebook apps.
The second innovation announced by Lifepics is the ability for retailers to separate their pay in store settings for app orders and online orders. According to Steuart this feature gives the retailer more flexibility on how retailers tailor Lifepics to their own business needs, without missing out on more ways to capture more images.
The changes allow retailers to designate whether they will allow customers to pay in store for online orders and set a maximum order amount, as well as to designate whether they will allow customers to pay in store for orders placed through mobile apps. For more information contact Photo Direct.
