CSN Stores, the third-largest online U.S. retailer of housewares and home furnishings, selects
LiquidPixels’ LiquiFire Dynamic Imaging solutions for CSN’s 200+ high-volume e-retail Web
sites. LiquiFire, a powerful toolset for deploying Rich Media Web sites, delivers a robust set of
functions with minimal integration effort.
BOSTON, MA AND ROCHESTER, NY – June 10, 2009 – CSN Stores, LLC and
LiquidPixels, Inc. are pleased to announce CSN Stores’ adoption of LiquidPixels’ LiquiFire for Dynamic
Imaging on CSN’s 200+ high-volume e-retail Web sites. CSN Stores is the third-largest online U.S. retailer of
housewares and home furnishings, as ranked by Internet Retailer, and represents more than 1,000 suppliers.
With an additional presence in Canada, the United Kingdom and Australia, CSN also was recently named to
Internet Retailer’s Hot 100 List of the best online retailers for 2009.
The team responsible for CSN Stores’ image-rich sites was seeking a more efficient way to manage the
multiple graphics that depict each of their 1 million+ products. Rather than individually creating a thumbnail
and images of graduated sizes, with LiquiFire’s Dynamic Imaging capabilities, CSN Stores can now use a
single image which is resized on demand as the page is viewed.
Add to this the ability to access functionalities including: Zoom-and-Pan, Colorization, 360° Spin, E-Catalog,
Content Management, and Product Personalization and the CSN team is armed with a powerful toolset for
enriching their sites in a fraction of the time.
“CSN Stores typically adds more than 10,000 products per month to our 200+ Web sites,” said Eric Klose,
vice president of marketing at CSN. “With the LiquidPixels products, our team has cost-effective tools that
will easily support our plans for an even more rapid expansion of our product lines. Images sell and there’s no
question that LiquiFire will be a competitive advantage for us.”
Steve Kristy, president, welcomes CSN Stores, LLC to LiquidPixels’ long list of valued customers. “We
consider ourselves a true partner in the success of our clients,” said Kristy, “so it’s important that new
companies are able to be up and using LiquiFire in just days. This way they immediately begin to reap the
benefits of Dynamic Imaging. Our support team helps them to extend their usage of the product and its
features over time, making it easy to do a staged implementation. LiquiFire’s flexibility in this regard is
unparalleled in the industry.”
