About Snap36
Chicago-based Snap36 was founded as a full service 360° spin photography company by industry experts who saw the need for breakthrough technology in an underserved market. The ability for online organizations to enhance customer/user experience by providing 360º/3D spin product presentations has topped wish lists for years. Yet, the complexities and costs associated with these capabilities presented a barrier to large-scale adoption. Snap36 has cracked the code, providing simple, scalable and affordable 360°/3D solutions to online businesses of all sizes, providing solutions at the price of static photography. Snap36 enables online retailers to provide their customers with the ultimate shopping experience and B2B companies to present their clients with a true 360/3D representation of their products, across various channels and devices.
