Well, today has been another busy day and we have just launched our latest ecommerce offering. Our client, based in Jersey, is doing well with their group of websites and www.americancrewjersey.co.uk is set to follow in the same path.
American Crew offer men's grooming products -- so a great site to get Christmas presents! Have a look and notice some of the features on the site.
Comments welcome!
Firstly – apologies for the silence recently! I have had the pleasure of travelling recently, mixing business and pleasure on a trip to the States.
This week has also been busy as we try and make 3 more ecommerce sites live to take advantage of the Christmas shopping period. A rep from the Bank told a client of mine that the 3 months leading up to Christmas account for almost half of their business.
My experience is much the same – looking at the stats on the sites – the Christmas trade is taking off and new “records” are being set by online buyers.
Part of making the sites live is sorting out the graphics for the Christmas offers, the gifts sets and the shipping deadlines. I have noticed it more this year than any other year – clients are preparing for Christmas earlier than they ever have done.
So if you own a website that can take advantage of the Christmas traffic, make sure you have your offers in place, your text and graphics on line and your packing ready. Traffic is picking up. The orders are being placed.
I have added another link to the "Blogs I like" section - this time I have added a link to the Pronet Advertising blog.
For me - this is a great blog to read about marketing your blog. It has some real practical advice and help and is easy to follow. Definately worth having a look.
I had the following email sent to me today, from "smile.co.uk"

It even came with some nice graphics too. Given that these types of scams are quite prevalent on the internet today - how can you spot them?
