SAN FRANCISCO - April 13, 2000 - Snapfish.com today announced that the company earned the "Most Innovative Business Model from a Startup in 1999" award at Spring Internet World 2000. Snapfish.com is the only end-to-end photo service that offers free processing, printing, digitizing and online storing and sharing. Chosen by the editors of Internet World magazine, a Penton Media publication, the Spring Internet World 2000 Industry Awards recognize the people and the companies who have pioneered Internet business.

Snapfish.com's unique business model differentiates the company within the online photography market. The company offers traditional 35 mm film camera users the ability to process, print, digitize, store and share their images online for free. For every roll of 35mm film, members receive a free set of 4-by-6 inch prints on Kodak paper, their negatives and free online sharing. Snapfish.com also caters to the growing market of digital camera users, making uploading, printing, sharing and storing their images fast and effortless.

Snapfish.com pioneered a new model of 'leveraged commerce,' in which Snapfish.com generates multiple transactions from a single source - in this case, a photograph. Snapfish.com earns revenue when members order reprints and enlargements of their favorite photos, without the hassle of sorting the negatives, taking them to a photo lab and driving back to pick up the prints. When members select the option to share the photos with friends and family, those users can view the photos and order prints direct from Snapfish.com.

Soon, members will be able to create high-quality personalized gifts such as coffee mugs, t-shirts and picture frames featuring their favorite images. An extensive network of sponsors who provide targeted, unobtrusive advertising on the site also supports the revenue model.

"The Snapfish.com business model revolves around the viral and personal nature of photographs," said Raj Kapoor, CEO and co-founder of Snapfish.com. "Our members want to share their photos with friends and family - and each time they do, Snapfish.com gains several new members and revenue potential based on leveraged commerce."
