Dynamic Imaging is one of five rich media solutions built upon a single integrated platform for rich media. LAMPS PLUS is able to provide enhanced visualization capabilities such as zoom and pan to highlight product details, while dynamically sizing, formatting, and transforming all output to the correct media for its various selling channels. 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. 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. LAMPS PLUS is also using Scene7 to dynamically deliver images to 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. “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 businesses. 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.” "We’re very pleased to be helping LAMPS PLUS extend the value of its image assets,” said Doug Mack, CEO of Scene7. "As a true multi-channel retailer that relies on visual merchandising to show the quality of its products, LAMPS PLUS can expect to realize both top line and bottom line business benefits from Scene7’s single integrated platform for rich media production and delivery.” About LAMPS PLUS Established in 1976, LAMPS PLUS is the nation's largest specialty lighting company, with over 40 state-of-the-art superstores throughout the western United States.
