Case Study: Digital Tintypes achieves worldwide reach and product expansion with Shopify
A Shopify Case Study
Digital Tintypes - Customer Case Study
Digital Tintypes is a Chicago-based studio founded in 2013 by a wet-plate collodion photographer and partner Simon Mandel to give families worldwide a way to turn favorite digital photos into authentic wet-plate tintypes. The core challenge was perfecting an online workflow that let anyone upload an image and receive a museum-quality tintype while scaling an analog process for international customers.
They launched on Shopify and combined targeted Google and Facebook ads with earned press from blogs, email/mail outreach and an active, SEO-driven blog to drive traffic and repeat sales. Using apps like RetentionGrid, Justuno, Yotpo, Chimpified, ShippingEasy and SumAll, they streamlined marketing, reviews and fulfillment, expanded into digital ambrotypes, and now serve customers across multiple countries while preserving family photographic histories.
