ATLANTA, Nov 20, 2006 (PrimeZone Media Network via COMTEX) --

According to myPhotopipe.com, an online photo processor for owners
of digital cameras, in the first four weeks of the holiday selling
season the Company's web site registered a surprisingly strong 15%
growth over September traffic and an even more impressive growth
in page views, up 61%. More telling -- between October 1st and November
15th, a record breaking 16,320 new users bookmarked or registered
for company services. Also up were first time orders from new customers.
Revenues in October were nearly double that of a year ago at a run
rate of $1,296,000 (www.myphotopipe.com).
While the company doesn't break out product-specific data, October downloads for the software used to create photo books were exceptionally strong as were early shipments of photo greeting cards. Also up were sales of the high-margin photo enlargements, a signature product for the Company.
The Company attributed the October results partly to the previously announced partnerships with the National Association of Photoshop Professionals and Shutterbug Magazine but largely to the growing popularity of photo prints. Advances in digital cameras have helped more photographers make an extraordinary photograph which, in turn, stimulates an interest in turning that photograph into a print, wall art, framed prints, or photo books.
The Company's web traffic suggests photographic products will appear in record numbers under Christmas trees across the nation and that this holiday season will be exceptionally strong one for online services.
