Ritzcamera.com expands e-commerce offering online photography community

Rizcamera.com will become a retail provider on Photo.net, one of the world’s largest online photography communities. Phobo.com, the Web site network that owns and operates Ritzcamera.com as well as other interactive sites, announced the agreement this week; terms weren’t disclosed. The deal gives Photo.net visitors instant access via a direct link to more than 1,000 items of photo equipment and accessories at the online camera store. Photo.net members ordering through Ritzcamera.com also will get free shipping on orders over $100 – the typical order size at Ritzcamera.com – as well as no sales tax and the company’s low price guarantee. Ritzcamera.com, launched last year, is the e-commerce site representing Ritz Camera Centers, a nationwide network of more than 1,000 retail stores. Photo.net is the web’s largest destination for photographers, with 90,000 registered members and 650,000 unique visitors per month.
