The shotfarm team is excited to announce the rollout of our new Rich Media Hosting 2.0 platform, a robust update of the Rich Media Hosting offering we launched in 2011.

Now all of shotfarm’s hosting customers are able to add the benefits of a world class Content Delivery Network to ensure that their eCommerce sites deliver product content to customers with lightning speed. By caching data at various centers around the world, shotfarm’s CDN exponentially reduces the time it takes for product images to load – and that means getting customers shopping faster! The new platform also paves the way for exciting new features to be rolled out in the next few months, including 3D spin photography (that means up and over, not just around!), product color swatching and automatic image syndication.

If you need a refresher, shotfarm’s Rich Media Hosting platform supports unlimited alternate images, deep zoom and 360 spin all displayed within a sleek HTML5 viewer that is optimized for mobile devices, including the iPhone and iPad. And, of course, it’s supported by the unparalleled free Product Image Exchange, so you can host the images and rich media that you find on shotfarm on your website directly, without having to download, rename, resize and upload files to a separate hosting provider.

Rich media has been repeatedly proven to:

• Increase online sales by up to 150%
• Increase conversion rates up to 50%
• Reduce returns and increase buying confidence
• Engage shoppers by extending their time on your website

Best of all, shotfarm continues to offer best-in-class technology and features at 80% less than comparable options. Try out the free demo today by visiting the plugin store in your shotfarm account. Log in now.
