Although Epson was late to the 4X6 category, it still had high goals of gaining substantial market share and creating immediate demand and purchase interest. Positioning PictureMate as "the easiest way to free your photos from the prison of the digital camera" was a novel strategy. Combined with compelling creative, it yielded excellent results: 21% market share, No. 1-selling printer in the category, with 87% incidence of increased purchase interest.
