Atlanta-Based EZ Prints CEO leverages industry knowledge to assist in the growth of digital photofinishing
Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) December 9, 2004 -- EZ Prints, a leading outsourced digital image fulfillment solution, today announced Jamie Bardin, EZ Prints President and CEO recently attended a meeting of industry leaders at the Photo Marketing Association (PMA) Headquarters in Jackson, MI.
Bardin attended the e-Commerce committee meeting of which he has been a member for the second year in a row. He met with other industry representatives to address concerns specific to the photo/imaging industry, while also reviewing the accomplishments of the Association and the industry during the past year. Future planning was also a major part of the agenda.
In addition, Bardin was a featured presenter at the PMA Fall 2004 Trade Show and Conference in Chicago speaking on the topic What is Working in Online Processing."
Online processing using the internet is not a silver bullet. It is simply another way to reach your customers, a communication mechanism" stated Bardin. It is a channel that requires the right plan, tools, and execution to be successful. The demand is there, and EZ Prints provides a comprehensive solution, but you have to understand what your particular goals and market are and execute accordingly using those tools. Just putting up a web site and allowing customers to upload and print is not enough – you have to educate, sell, and execute. If you dont service those customers, someone else will – or may be already."
