Delightful Deliveries Boosts Online Revenues Over 90% With Scene7's Dynamic Imaging Solution

Internet Gift Retailer Reduces Returns by 10% and Overall Production Time and Costs by 50%

NOVATO, Calif., Dec. 14 /PRNewswire/ -- Scene7, provider of the leading rich media platform to grow revenues and enhance visual communications - while automating media production and delivery, today announced that internet gift retailer Delightful Deliveries is realizing increased sales, reduced returns, and website performance improvements by implementing Scene7's Dynamic Imaging Solution on its e-commerce website.

"We wanted to enhance the quality of imagery and improve the performance of our website, and learned about Scene7 from one of our partners, who is also a Scene7 customer," said Eric Lituchy, President of Delightful Deliveries. "Since implementing Scene7's Zoom, our customers can now see for the first time the visual details and quality features of our product line, directly contributing to an increase in sales of over 90%, while reducing returns by 10%."

Scene7's Zoom allows customers to quickly and interactively view high-resolution product details providing enhanced visual information and an interactive shopping experience. Showing visual details of Delightful Deliveries' unique gift items, such as corporate gift baskets, gourmet food items, and delicious deserts, is helping differentiate the retailer from its competition. "We sell many similar products to our competitors and having a better visual representation of the item can be the single difference between a sale and a lost opportunity," said Lituchy.

Scene7's rich media platform dynamically generates and delivers unlimited derivatives from high quality single master images, allowing companies to speed time to market and drastically reduce image production costs. These image derivatives are optimized to ensure the fastest delivery regardless of the customers' bandwidth, preserving image quality while improving site performance for those customers with slow connection speeds. "We've noted improvements in performance of over 20% - making it easier for customers who don't yet have broadband to shop on our site," said Lituchy. "And because Scene7 can automatically re-size and optimize the images from single masters, we only have to worry about getting a single high-quality image from our partners. This has reduced the number of images under management, resulting in time and costs reductions of over 50%."

"Delightful Deliveries is an innovative internet retailer focused on unique gifts and personalized customer service," said Doug Mack, CEO of Scene7. "We're pleased that our rich media platform is providing the basis for revenue growth and reduced web publishing time and costs, while offering Delightful Deliveries' customers an enhanced online shopping experience."

In the near future, Delightful Deliveries plans to implement Scene7's eCatalog and Dynamic Customization Solutions to create and present personalized catalogs and products for its customers. Delightful Deliveries also plans to extend its use of Scene7's Dynamic Asset management features to enable external business partners to upload imagery and further automate the Web content production process.
