LAMPS PLUS has an extensive inventory of lighting products which are
available to its customers through its 40+ superstores, print catalogs,
and on its e-commerce website. As a true multi-channel retailer, LAMPS
PLUS understands the importance of visually presenting the quality
of its products to its customers whether it be in store, online, in
email or in print. LAMPS PLUS has an extensive image library consisting
of thousands of product images that need to be accessed by numerous
internal departments. These images are used across LAMPS PLUS various
sales channels, but each of these channels require different sizes
and file formats, making it expensive and time consuming to produce
the required imagery for each channel. LAMPS PLUS required a solution
that would streamline the management and production of this digital
imagery and present the detailed visual information required to drive
multi-channel sales.

LAMPS PLUS incorporated Scene7’s Dynamic Imaging solution to
automatically generate imagery for advertising, catalogs, online and
in-store kiosk product presentation. Images generated by Scene7 are
dynamically sized, formatted, and transformed for output to the correct
media.
On the LAMPS PLUS Website, Scene7’s flash-based zoom and dynamic
panning enables customers to view high-resolution product details
on any product quickly and easily, providing them an engaging shopping
experience and importantly, the visual information needed to make
a purchase decision. The same images that are generated for the LAMPS
PLUS Website are also available to LAMPS PLUS’ catalogs and
in-store kiosks, allowing LAMPS PLUS to extend its product inventory
on the show floor, directly contributing to an increase in multi-channel
revenues.
Scene7 also dynamically delivers images to LAMPS PLUS customers via
email. LAMPS PLUS combines customer preferences and past purchase
information and populates email templates with Scene7 dynamic imagery
to provide customers with visually compelling, personalized email
communications.
In addition, Scene7’s dynamic imaging is also helping LAMPS
PLUS reduce its image production and publishing costs by centralizing
its image management and production into one location. Scene7’s
dynamic imaging enables different groups within the company to automatically
re-purpose desired imagery at the same time from any location, in
just the right sizes and formats needed for their specific purposes.
This allows LAMPS PLUS to keep visual content fresh and up-to-date,
without laborious manual processes, greatly reducing the associated
time and costs.
Results:
Scene7’s Dynamic Imaging solution is directly contributing to
increased sales across channels. The addition of Scene7’s dynamic
imaging has significantly improved product presentation, giving LAMPS
PLUS customers the visual information required to help drive a purchase
decision – whether it be online, in email, in print, or in-store.
By dynamically generating imagery for all mediums, LAMPS PLUS is able
leverage its investment in high-quality product imagery throughout
the entire organization. In addition, LAMPS PLUS is realizing significant
time and cost savings associated with image production workflow and
re-purposing of existing image content across all sales channels.
“Scene7’s dynamic imaging has transformed our business,”
said Dennis Swanson, CEO and owner of LAMPS PLUS. “It has helped
streamline our production process and is directly helping us drive
our internet and in-store business. Our customers love that they can
zoom in on product details online so they can see the quality of the
products – and there are no surprises when the customer gets
the lamp at home. And we’re able to sell more product in stores
because the dynamic images served from our database allow us to carry
more inventory through our kiosks – directly contributing to
an increase in our multi-channel revenues.”
