What's new?               

 

July 4th means the summer season is in full swing...  Not sure about you, but where we live there was no way to avoid at least hearing the fireworks last night.  The same is true for your online web presence, there is just no way to avoid your customers seeing it before they walk into your store.  You can hide away and pretend it doesn't matter or you can join the celebration and get on the band wagon. 

If you are not proud of your website, its time for a makeover.  Think about your overall marketing budget and redirecting some of marketing budget to do this... There is no better advertising vehicle... Not convinced.  take a poll and ask customers in your store if they went online beforehand, and what they think of it.  Ask them if they would refer an out of town family member to you website...

We know the process and we know how to make it easy for you.  Our vendor managed virtual inventory programs make the process turnkey.  Give us a call for a free demo and mention Promotion Code "GemFind11-1" for a special summer discount....
