FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Collages.net launches MyLabPartner at first three professional color labs
Langhorne, PA February 11, 2004 - Collages.net today announced that three leading labs, H&H Color lab, Burrell Professional Labs, and Miller’s Professional Imaging are officially launched with Collages.net award-winning event photography hosting service. This new level of service provides professional color labs and their photographer customers with a robust workflow solution accompanied with unprecedented online fulfillment and marketing tools. Because MyLabPartner is a web-based platform, the service is enjoyed by PC and MAC users alike.
Whether photographers use film, shoot digitally, or use a little of both, MyLabPartner provides them with the flexibility to post events online, market their studio using the power of the Internet, build products, crop orders and fulfill print orders electronically through Collages.net’s partner labs. Seven additional leading labs will also be live by March 31st. MyLabPartner is a big step for the industry. “Over the past four years, our team has learned much about building solutions that offer both workflow efficiencies and marketing horsepower for both photographers and labs,” stated Kevin Casey, Collages.net’s CEO. “MyLabPartner now helps labs better market their products and services, which is good not only for labs, but for studios and event guests as well.”
Dave Drum, CTO at H&H Color, likes MyLabPartner as it addresses the needs of his customers. He comments, “At H&H, our philosophy has been to partner with the best companies available and give our customers the maximum number of high quality choices. We are proud to be one of the first labs that has partnered with Collages.net to provide web sales opportunities, streamlined workflow, and excellent, personal customer service for our professional customers.” Collages.net has been voted, four years in a row, by PPA as “Hottest Online Service” for the professional photographer, and this year won the accolade for MyLabPartner. Helping photographers get their images online is a growing need and MyLabPartner is the unique “cross-platform” workflow solution for labs that makes that transition easy and cost-effective for all labs and their photographer customers. More information will be available by visiting Collages.net’s MyLabPartner.net booth (# J- 170) at the PMA tradeshow or at the upcoming WPPI tradeshow (Booth # 506).
