Momento Photo Books + Momento Pro

What Momento Photo Books + Momento Pro does

Momento Photo Books + Momento Pro (also operating as PhotobookShop and Photobook Shop Pro) is an Australian personalised-print and creative-software business headquartered in Reservoir, Victoria. The original Momento brand operated for nearly two decades before closing in 2024, and the company relaunched Momento.com.au in October 2025 as a consumer-facing e-commerce platform for personalised photobooks (softcover, hardcover, and layflat with stitched pages), wall decor (canvas, framed, acrylic, photo tiles), calendars, photo prints, and photo gifts, complemented by self-publishing services for children's books, non-fiction, and novels.

The platform's technical foundation combines browser-based online design tools with a downloadable Photobooks PRO desktop designer for Windows and Mac, paired with proprietary six-colour HD printing and premium paper stocks positioned as standard rather than paid upgrades. Professional photographers, artists, and sellers are served through a separate approval-based membership channel at PBSPro.com.au, which provides the same design software with enhanced features and priority support. Business customers — schools, organisations, and corporate clients — access volume pricing for yearbooks, calendars, and bulk printed products.

Revenue is generated primarily through direct-to-consumer one-time product sales on PhotobookShop.com.au and Momento.com.au, supplemented by recurring access to professional software for approved PBSPro members and transaction-based volume order pricing for institutional customers. Marketing relies on owned digital storefronts plus organic Facebook and Instagram presence, with no disclosed paid acquisition, partnerships, or external funding.

• Lulu: Self-publishing and print-on-demand platform for books. Directly comparable to Momento's self-publishing arm covering children's books, non-fiction, and novels.
• Snapfish: Mass-market online photo printing platform owned by CPG Gorilla. Competes on consumer photobooks, prints, and gifts at lower price points, anchoring the value end of the same category Momento occupies.
• Blurb: Self-publishing and photo book platform serving professional photographers and indie authors. Highly comparable on the book publishing, professional creator, and trade book dimensions of Momento's portfolio.
• Mpix: Professional-grade photo printing service popular with working photographers. Directly comparable to Momento's PBSPro professional channel and the photographer-targeted premium print offering.
• CEWE: Europe's largest photo book and personalised photo products company. Directly comparable on softcover, hardcover and layflat photobooks, calendars, photo gifts, and wall décor, and an obvious category benchmark for premium positioning.

• Saal Digital: German premium photo book and wall décor (acrylic, Alu-Dibond) specialist. Closely comparable on the premium materials, six-colour HD printing, and layflat value proposition that define Momento's premium tier.
