To help customers connect with the people they love by creating one-of-a-kind photo goods that truly reflect their personal style.
Since 2006, Mixbook has been offering customers the ability to create photo-customized products online. They offer the familiar array of cards, photobooks, and prints, but what is unique is that they have been one of the most persistently high-ranking companies for this service over recent years.
The market is a fairly crowded one, with long-standing competitors like Shutterfly being joined by startups like Popsa and Sokbook. But it remains a lucrative one: reports suggest that the rise of digital photography is accompanied by a greater value being placed on creating physical records of these images. Whilst Mixbook is sticking to a fairly traditional selection of products, the company is enriching its offerings through celebrity collaborations, and drilling deeper into event-specific categories like birth announcements and wedding photography.
This steadfast approach to more traditional products has likely protected Mixbook from any fluctuations in the way images are stored and shared online. This will put the company in good stead to take a dependable slice of the growing personalized gifts market, which is expected to approach $40 billion by 2027.
