Snapfish UK Launches Premier Online Digital Photo Service and Offers Industry’s Best Value
—With Deep Local Market Experience, Leading U.S. Online Photo Service Opens UK Operations and Launches www.snapfish.co.uk—
London,- November 22, 2004 - Snapfish, the leading online photo service in the U.S., today announced the opening of UK based operations and the launch of Snapfish UK (www.snapfish.co.uk). Offering United Kingdom customers the same unsurpassed digital photo services that over 10 million Americans already enjoy, Snapfish UK opens with the market’s best value, 4"x6” prints just 15p everyday and as low as 12p with a pre-paid plan.
Snapfish already powers the online photo service for Truprint, the leading mail-order film brand in the UK. According to data from independent monitoring group Hitwise, Truprint quickly became a top-3 online service within just weeks of its launch. With a wealth of experience in the UK and understanding of the marketplace, Snapfish now offers local users the quality, pricing and breadth of services that has become the gold standard in the industry.
“We are excited to begin providing British consumers the highest quality, lowest cost online photo services. Snapfish UK is a decidedly UK based operation that is dedicated to fulfilling the needs of local consumers, not simply syndicating an American idea,” said Helen Vaid, Managing Director, Snapfish UK. “According to CAP Ventures, in Western Europe there were only
8 million digital cameras in 2002. In 2005 that number is expected to balloon to over 22 million. We are looking forward to playing a big roll in helping that growing group share their precious memories.”
