Press Release: SHUTTERFLY RELAUNCHES THE COMPANY’S ONLINE
STORE
BURLINGAME, Calif. — (September 28, 2005)
— Today from the InfoTrends/CAP Ventures’ Digital Imaging
Conference, Shutterfly announced the relaunch of the company’s online
Store (<http://www.shutterfly.com/store>www.shutterfly.com/store).
Consumers now can browse the company’s expanded selection of premium photo
products and create photo gifts without registering with the Shutterfly service.
Additionally, Shutterfly products are arranged and displayed intuitively, so
that shoppers can quickly find and purchase a thoughtful gift or treasured
keepsake.
“Shutterfly is consistently improving its
service to offer both the highest quality and most intuitive user experience for
its customers,” said Jill Aldort, Senior Consultant, Internet Imaging
Trends for InfoTrends/CAP Ventures. “By adding hundreds of new
photo-related products to the Shutterfly Store and eliminating the need to sign
in before viewing the product selection and designing the product, Shutterfly
invites all shoppers to visualize their personalized product before they buy,
which is a great differentiator.”
The new
Store includes Shutterfly’s award-winning design-it-yourself products such
as Photo Books, Greeting Cards, Calendars and PhotoShow DVDs along with new
photo-related products and gift
items that reflect the many ways
photos enrich our lives. New albums, frames and pre-made scrapbooks in a variety
of colors and styles will fulfill every shopper’s desire for the perfect
way to display and share their photos. Just in time
for the holidays, Shutterfly gives visitors options to shop according to
gift-giving occasion, product category or “top sellers” enabling
them to easily locate their favorite items along with product details, suggested
uses and customer testimonials.
“At
Shutterfly we put a premium on quality, whether it’s our products or the
customer experience, and we’ve redesigned the Shutterfly Store to reflect
this principle,” said Jeffrey Housenbold, CEO of Shutterfly.
“Through a complete update of our site architecture, a new look and
professional merchandising, we have created an online store that combines the
convenience of one-stop shopping with the highest quality Shutterfly customers
have come to expect.”
