Image Merchants Offers Their Unique Products to a Wider, Internet-Based Marketplace

Online, September 4, 2009 (Newswire.com) - Charleston, SC-September 4, 2009-To better accommodate business needs and increase availability for the general public, Image Merchants' exclusive photographic prints and products, which have been given as corporate gifts by such companies as General Electric and AT&T, can now be purchased from the Image Merchants' online store.

A combination of art and utility, Image Merchants' creations are functional and can be used throughout the office, home, or while on the go. Their products include original fine art prints, photographic note cards, tote bags, and velvet-lined photographic boxes.

The photographic note cards provide a memorable personal touch for business correspondence and letters between friends. They can be used by companies for personalized thank-you letters for clients and by individuals for special messages.

"A handwritten note now is a phenomenon," comments Image Merchants' owner Joanna Biondolillo. "People are happy when they receive a note because they realize how much more time and effort it took the sender, and unlike email, handwritten notes are often saved for years."

Image Merchants' fully lined tapestry and tote bags are especially convenient for everyday use. They can be used as an attractive and environmentally friendly alternative to plastic or paper shopping bags.

A photographer with twenty years of experience, Image Merchants' owner Joanna Biondolillo shoots and develops each of her products' images. Unlike many modern forms of artwork, all of her pictures are unaltered, with the lighting and effects caused by how she takes the picture rather than added in later by image editing programs. "You can't change the reality of what is," Joanna comments. "I photograph the reality in front of me and present it as I photographed it. Old fashioned or not, I still believe in the integrity of my photographs."

Image Merchants offers a one-of-a-kind product that won't be found in any of the major chains. With their new online location, it's easier for both businesses and individuals to purchase items for gifts or for personal use.
