Fotolia Announces Partnership With pingg.com



New Online Invitation, Event Management Company to Incorporate Fotolia
       Image Gallery Into Custom Invitation Application, pingg Plus+
    NEW YORK, June 17 /PRNewswire/ -- Fotolia (http://www.fotolia.com), the
largest online marketplace for micro-priced digital stock images, announced
today a partnership agreement with pingg.com, a new online invitation and
event management Web site.

    The partnership integrates Fotolia's collection of nearly 4 million
images directly into the pingg platform and seamlessly powers the pingg
Plus+ application. The API is integrated into the site allowing users to
license an image from the Fotolia database for a fee directly through the
pingg site.

    pingg Plus+ provides consumers a truly unique opportunity to design
fully customized online and print invitations. Hosts can search for then
select a unique image from the Fotolia collection. Once an image is chosen,
a host can utilize cropping and layout tools to further customize their
online and/or print invitations.

    "This partnership grants pingg's users on-demand access to our database
of high-quality stock images and gives Fotolia the ability to further
expand our offerings through strategic partnerships with innovative Web
companies," says Oleg Tscheltzoff, co-founder and president of Fotolia,
LLC. "Fotolia's image collection will give pingg users deeply integrated
access to images for use in their custom invitations."

    Our Business API allows partners to integrate and offer Fotolia
services to their customers. This is an ideal solution for companies who
want to produce customized on demand items for their clients in an
automated fashion.

    "Fotolia has built an incredible collection of high-quality images.
Partnering with them," stated Lorien Gabel, Co-Founder/CEO of pingg,
"enables us to offer the pingg consumer the widest selection of images
anywhere for designing and personalizing their online and print
invitations."

Sounds like a very promising partnership! 

I would be interested to know what the commission structure will be for sales through Pingg.  Hopefully the same as we are getting through sales directly on Fotolia...?

Congrats to Fotolia for pulling off yet another great marketing tie-in.
