As digital photography continues to expand, consumer brands are looking for new and better ways leverage this exciting market to interact with their customers through online photo sharing and printing. The viral impact of photo sharing on customer acquisition service is a proven way to create lasting and profitable relationships with your customers.

"While many consumer brands want to offer online digital photo services to their customers, the available options have several severe limitations including vendor lock-in, poor usability and limited product offerings," said John Treadway, president and CEO of Digibug Express, Inc. "Only Digibug offers online photo solutions that eliminate these limitations at an attractive cost of ownership."

"Digibug's Photo Commerce Suite is flexible, and open to any mail order or retail lab, and that sets it apart from the other vendors in this space," said Paul Worthington, Senior Analyst for Consumer Imaging at Future Image, a leading photography industry analysis firm located in San Mateo, CA. "Many businesses will benefit from having an independent choice for both their photofinishing fulfillment and how their Web site is deployed, and those businesses should seriously consider Digibug's service."
