Kameraworld website allows consumers to order photo services via Internet

Consumers need not go to their favorite photo store to order color prints, thanks to Kameraworld’s digital services on the worldwide web.

Called ePrintme, the new service allows consumers to upload their digital images into the Kameraworld website. By following simple instructions, the consumer can place his print orders from his office or home computer anywhere in the country and pick up the finished prints from one of six Kameraworld digital outlets in Metro Manila the next day.

According to Enic L. Gueco, vice president and chief operating officer, ePrintme is a first in the Philippine digital photo imaging industry and shows Kameraworld’s leading edge in bringing the latest digital innovation to consumers.

By clicking on the ePrintme window on the Kameraworld website (www.kameraworld.com.ph), the consumer is offered the option to sign up for membership or surf the website. Membership is free and carries no obligation on the part of the consumer who automatically qualifies for up to five megabytes of storage space as a sign up bonus.

This large storage space is aptly called "album" and will enable the consumer to store up to 10 of his favorite digital images online. He may use the album as a staging point to order prints. Or he may share the space with friends and loved ones in order to enable others to view his gallery of digital images online. The images will be kept in the album for as long as 30 days.

"Ordering prints online is just one of the innovations Kameraworld has introduced since it launched the digital photo imaging revolution last year to become the first photo chain to offer full digital service to consumers," according to Gueco. He said the service is initially limited to 3R (3.5 x 5) inches, Big K (4 x 6 inches) and 5R (5 x 7 inches) print sizes but will eventually cover the whole range of Kameraworld’s digital services that include photo restoration, color enhancement, colorization and a host of Imagik digital services.
