Cord Camera, a privately owned retail imaging company based in Ohio, announced today the launch of its new online imaging solution, provided by LifePics. The LifePics solution delivers a fully customizable platform, a very broad selection of prints and photo products, and provides consumers with Live Help, a unique service that assists consumers with creating products and placing orders online. Live Help is staffed by trained, semi-professional photographers, and is available 364 days a year.
"The LifePics solution is incredibly dynamic, and the Live Help service has really helped to take our online business to the next level," said Steve Cordle, President and CEO at Cord Camera. "Our customers love the fact that they can ask questions and receive guidance from the LifePics staff instantaneously. The Live Help service especially drives orders from customers who are new to online ordering, and gives them the confidence to come back again and again once they realize how easy it is."
Cord Camera customers can easily access Live Help directly from the Web site, which connects the customer to a trained staff member who can provide assistance immediately via instant message. Customers also have the option of emailing or calling LifePics operators for guidance.
Using the LifePics solution, Cord Camera will also offer its customers a very broad range of prints and photo products, such as photo books, calendars, magazine covers, greeting cards, and many more. Customers can place the order online for in-store pickup (1-hour fulfillment is available for many products) or ship-to-home delivery. LifePics also supplies several consumer-oriented services and offers customized marketing assistance to drive more online orders to Cord Camera.
"We are very excited about the opportunity to work with Cord Camera to develop
and escalate their online business," said Vahe Christianian, Vice President
of Sales and Business Development at LifePics. "Cord Camera is one of the most
influential and progressive companies in the imaging industry and we are thrilled
to partner with them. We are confident that the LifePics online solution will continue
to uphold their excellent reputation."
