Recent trends and studies show that Photo Merchandising, ranging from calendars and photo books to greeting cards and novelty items, is fast becoming an important growth segment of the imaging industry. This has been fueled by the explosion of digital photos, digital printing technologies, and e-commerce. Consumers can now easily create new photo products and gifts that express their personality and provide utility beyond a typical 4 x 6 print.

The vast majority of photo merchandise is created when consumers apply their personal content (i.e. digital photos) to product design templates. Leading categories of photo merchandise include greeting cards, photo books, calendars, apparel/fashion, novelty items (i.e. mugs, plates, shirts, etc), and home decorations. Each product has its own production methods, pricing, and purchase drivers. But customers want to have something new and different. Something that will bring back the WOW effect!

The emergence of photo merchandising business comes at a critical time for the photo industry. The growth rate of traditional 4 x 6 prints have slowed so prices continue to fall, forcing Photo Labs/Big Box Retailers to look for new sources of revenues and profit. By offering our 3D, Flip, or Motion images, Photo labs/ Big Box Retailers can offer their customers more exciting options when they order their next print and take the next step in revolutionizing 2D images into something more creative, dynamic, and truly distinct! This is now available and made possible by supplying and having strategic tie ups with major Photo Labs/Big Box Retailers in each market around the world.

People's tastes and lifestyles are changing and these trends have been quite apparent with all the various theme parks operating and/or being constructed around the world.

From outdoor or indoor Ski Domes in Europe or in the Middle East, to night safaris in Africa or Asia, people love going to theme parks. More so, they love taking pictures of their trips as souvenirs and memorabilia for years to come.

Imagine the possibilities with yourself, your family, and friends skiing down the slopes and that shot preserved in 3D or Motion or your picture next to the huge elephants or rhinos in the background all in 3D or Flip, or surfing down in a man made wave in your gear all taken in 3D!

Since people are looking for new ways to have their pictures printed, particularly with their latest digital cameras, with all the speed, resolution and over all picture quality, 3DMe™  can offer these options to have their pictures preserved and recorded for each theme park visit.

Each 3DMe™  Booth/Cart at theme parks can have their own licensed property/template unique to that location particularly with our latest proprietary 3D Green Screen software technology available with several product applications and options for customers to choose from. Each 3DMe™ Booth/Cart is complete with the 3DMe™  Booth design and specs, software/s, hardware (pc, printer, camera, die cutter, photo paper, packaging supplies, and minimum opening inventory), sample materials, complete operating manuals including training programs both for software & hardware, sales & marketing, and customer service support. Proposed ventures with theme park owners/operators may include either a supply basis agreement or revenue sharing scheme.
