LifePics, Inc. and Magic Portrait Studios, LLC announced today that LifePics will immediately begin offering Magic Portrait™ as an add-on product line to its 2,700 photofinishers and professional photographers in the U.S. and Canada. Magic Portrait Studios, LLC (MPS) utilizes leading edge photo compositing technologies and proprietary photo enhancement techniques, along with the company's libraries of copyrighted imaginative backgrounds to create a Magic Portrait™. This Magic Portrait™ is a hi-resolution digital composite photo that takes the subject from a customer's digital photo and seamlessly merges it into an imaginative background. The resulting studio-quality portrait can be printed in dozens of formats, from traditional prints, large format and canvas prints to calendars, greeting cards, t-shirts, coffee mugs and other photo products. The end customer owns the Magic Portrait™ digital image and can print it as many times and in as many formats as desired.
"We are continually adding new themed collections that will bring customers back to see what's new. Every seller looks for a product that both draws new customers and creates customer loyalty by giving an enticing reason to regularly return. Magic Portrait does both - thus creating a truly win-win proposition for photo-processing companies," said Gregg Lauer, Magic Portrait founder and CEO.
"With the increasing price pressure in the photofinishing market, our photofinishers are looking for higher margin items to sell. Magic Portrait provides our customers an exciting and creative new service that will generate new users and additional high-margin revenue and create user loyalty," said Vahe Christianian, founder and V.P. of Sales and Business Development at LifePics.
