Huntington Beach, CA—MailPix, a photo-printing, canvas and gifting site, announced strong sales for 2018. Sales revenue was up 38% and profits were up 53%, compared to the prior year.
Reasons for Strong Sales
The privately held company attributed the revenue and margin growth to the recent acquisitions of Photobucket’s PrintShopLab.com as well as RitzPix.com. In addition, it believes the continued growth of its 1 Hour Photo app also contributed to the strong results.
“Despite the news in the business press reporting disappointing results for Shutterfly, MailPix is optimistic about the future potential of the photo printing, gift and decor markets,” said Fred H. Lerner, founder and CEO. “We are continuing to manage our growth with strategic brand acquisitions and mobile app development.”
Furthermore, MailPix added five brands since 2014: 1 Hour Photo; MyPix2; RitzPix; Winkflash; and Photobucket’s Print Shop Lab. “The MailPix brand portfolio of websites and mobile apps is an industry leader,” added Lerner. Apps in the MailPix family deliver to more than 20,000 U.S. retail print locations.
