Social networking butterflies have got one more reason to get glued to their mobile devices. Art.com has just announced two new social media applications – art.com iPhone app and MyFrameShop Facebook app – to offer users unique ways to shop for and create wall art.
With the iPhone app, users can preview their art selections on the walls of their own homes, and can decorate on the go. The app allows users to take a photo of the wall area they wish to decorate with their iPhone and upload it to a personal ‘My Walls’ gallery on art.com. Users can then select their favorite artwork by browsing the art.com catalog of quality wall art directly from their device and see the artwork framed.
“Art.com’s new, free iPhone and Facebook apps allow our customers to discover, design and visualize wall art in a whole new way and provide a level of convenience, accessibility and personalization that can’t be found anywhere else,” remarked Geoffroy Martin, chief executive officer of Art.com Inc. “Enabling our customers to engage with art.com through iPhone and Facebook is just the latest development in our ongoing commitment to creating a great user experience and transforming the way the world shops for high-quality wall art.”
Interestingly, the iPhone app lets users email or send the artwork to Facebook to get opinions from friends or family. On the other hand, the MyFrameShop app can turn personal photos into professionally-framed masterpieces. Similar to the iPhone app, MyFrameShop enables users to share their framed photograph with others and purchase the final artwork directly from art.com.
The art.com iPhone application can be snapped up for free from Apple’s App Store.
