Valentine’s Day is right around the corner, and if you missed last month’s special on 1-800-Flowers.com, create lasting memories with this month’s Shutterfly. Founded in 1999, Shutterfly lets you upload an unlimited number of photos at full resolution. You can share photos online, or print them to personalized greeting cards and photo books. The Shutterfly mission is “To build an unrivaled service |
that enables deeper, more personal relationships between our customers and those who matter most in their lives.” It aims to make the world a better place by helping people share life’s joy — you can’t get much more lovey-dovey than that. Here are just a few more reasons why Shutterfly, as our featured share for February, helps you share the love:
- Shutterfly is the leader in online photosharing revenue, claiming a whopping 34% of the total market
- Shutterfly engineers were the first to introduce the “photo book in less than 5 minutes for less than $15″ concept with their “Simple Path”, which automatically lays out digital photos on photo book templates
- Social networking sites have become increasingly popular for sharing photos, but Shutterfly’s focus is on quality: the average Shutterfly image is 1.5 megabytes, while the average size on most social networking sites is 40 to 50 kilobytes — about 1/30th the size
- While many similar sites are subsidiaries of larger companies, Shutterfly remains a standalone public company
Shutterfly’s no stranger to holidays: it does half of its annual sales in the fourth quarter, including more than a third in the three weeks after Thanksgiving. But what about Valentine’s day? Could personalized valentines and love albums be the new “it” season?
