Today's consumers are smart and strategic shoppers. They demand quality, utility, value and efficiency, and they aren't shy about exploring new and better ways of doing things.
The advent of the internet, ecommerce and the smartphone have created an entirely new experience for discovery, sharing and transactions. As a result, new business models like Amazon, Airbnb, Spotify, Uber and Netflix are reshaping entire categories. Socializing has moved from the water cooler to social media. Mobile messaging and social media apps give us both immediacy and new outlets for expression, connection and sharing.
It's no secret that we rely on more than ever on our smartphones. They are ubiquitous – a lifeline for communication, information, social connection and sharing. A recent study by the analytics firm Flurry Insights indicates that consumers now spend 5 hours a day on their mobile phones, and that time spent on mobile apps increased 69% year-over-year. This trend, along with mobile ecommerce, shows no sign of letting up.
In the face of an increasingly mobile-focused consumer, how do you keep them engaged in your product and coming back for more?
Successful businesses are focusing on what the consumer wants and exploring new ways to give it to them.
The professional photography industry has a natural advantage: the hard-wired element of emotion that is baked in nearly everything you do. The industry's stock and trade, more than many others, is in life's most important memories – the people, places, experiences and life events we all hold most dear. What has been lacking is a modern experience that fits consumers' daily habits and lifestyles, and a new business model.
So what if we combine those two powerful elements?

Digital delivery, social sharing and a mobile ecommerce help you deliver a unique photography experience with greater perceived value. This creates a new, differentiated business model in-step with consumers' desires that can help drive real value for your business.
