LifePics announced today that it is now the digital online imaging solutions provider for Camera Land, a bustling mid-town Manhattan photo retail store. Camera Land will use the LifePics online solution to provide its customers with user-friendly online photofinishing services.

"For decades, New Yorkers have trusted Camera Land with all their photofinishing needs. Our customers are very loyal, and we wanted to provide them with a high quality, easy-to-use online photofinishing site and a wide range of photo products," said Joel Paymer, President at Camera Land. "Our online services needed an upgrade. We wanted to take our heavy in-store volume and drive it into high-margin online orders. It was quite clear that LifePics was the organization most capable to provide the solution. They gave us exactly what we were looking for."
Through its partnership with LifePics, Camera Land will allow its customers to easily upload, store, and share digital photos online, as well as order prints to be picked up at the store in an hour.
