LifePics announced today the launch of its new template engine that raises the bar
on how online template engines perform. The new LifePics template engine offers
consumers the broadest selection of templated products available today, supports
multiple template vendors, includes numerous customization options for each template,
and provides relief to retailers from the recent price pressure on 4x6" prints.
Products available to consumers range from traditional greeting cards to multi-image
scrapbook pages, borders, sports trading cards, collages, gift tags, and much more
in multiple sizes.
"I've seen all the other template engines out there and the new LifePics engine
is far superior in its functionality and flexibility. It’s fast, fun, and
easy!" said Doug Gentry, Executive Director, Ritzpix.com at Ritz Camera Centers.
"We are very excited to offer our consumers such a broad range of customizable
photo products, many of which are available in one hour, just in time for the busy
Holiday season."
Some of features that are unique to the new LifePics template engine include:
"While building this new template engine, we really put ourselves in the consumers'
shoes and developed creative new features that we know people wanted but couldn't
find anywhere online," said Ken McDonald, V.P. of Marketing at LifePics. "We
are very proud of the end result and we know consumers will be excited by all the
fun products they can easily and quickly create with their favorite images."
