A relatively high percentage of day in, day out orders are customer reorders.  Although our current Web site enables customers to create an account, it does not store prior magnet designs or orders -customers need to either call or send us an e-mail when they want to reorder a magnet they previously ordered.  Not necessarily ideal, nor convenient, as indicated on our fairly recent Web site survey.  But that’s all changing…

When our new Web site is launched toward the end of summer, all prior magnet designs will be stored under each customer’s account, enabling quick and easy reorders, along with one click checkout!  A big, convenient time saver, indeed.  What’s more, this will help facilitate quicker delivery of your magnets –what’s not to like about that!?

Although the 2009-2010 school year is just starting to wind down across the country, now is the ideal time to think about and plan for the next year, before hallways are once again crowded and the busy start of the new academic year quickly comes into full swing.  What’s more, add in the start of the Magnets.com 2010 Annual Back to School Promotion, and the time to order promotional school magnets has never been better.

Whether looking for academic calendar magnets, school contact magnets, or student group magnets, get free shipping, automatically taken at checkout, on all school magnets!  With dozens of new design templates to choose from, along with the option to use a purchase order, the choice is obvious.

Stay in front of students and parents alike, and make your message stick with Magnets.com.

With the World Cup in full swing, all the current football rage is of the soccer variety (nice 1-1 win the US had over Britain this weekend, no?!).

Fret not: now’s the perfect time to begin thinking about the start of the professional football season, what with the release of our 2010 football schedule magnets! With several different sizes and types to choose from, our football schedule magnets are a creative, cost effective, and useful way to have your name and business information stick around for the long run. With all teams available, which one are you rooting for?

Get ready to sharpen your pencils and unleash your inner Picasso:  on our new Web site you’ll be able to easily and in little time design and approve your very own custom magnets!

Partnering with industry leading software and e-design companies, there will be four ways you can order and design your magnets, all of which are free of charge. What’s more, you’ll be able to immediately view and approve a proof of your magnet design (unless you opt to have us design your magnets), a feature frequently requested by many our customers.  Which method will you choose?:

• Design your magnets from scratch: Start with a blank canvas and create whatever your heart desires.  You’ll be able to upload and view in real time different backgrounds, logos, photos, you name it.  Finish off with your contact information (or anything else you’d like on your magnet) and instantaneously view and approve a proof.
• Customize a template: We’ll have hundreds and hundreds of already created designs and templates that you’ll be able to customize online and in real time with your custom business information.  Once created you’ll be able to view and approve a proof and get your magnets into production.
• Upload your own completed artwork: If you have your own completed art this is for you -simply upload your file(s) and instantaneously view and approve a proof of your magnet design.  It’s that easy!
• Have us design it: Of course, we’ll still be here to design your magnets for you free of charge.  Like today, simply provide any art and design instruction and we’ll get a proof to you within one business day.

Whenever anyone in the office places an order online, be it for clothing, the newest electronic gadget, a red Swingline stapler, or pretty much anything in between, they’re sure to be anxiously logged into FedEx or UPS tracking its delivery and every move.  After all, the waiting is the hardest part.  Not surprisingly, the number one request we field from our customers is, well, the status of and tracking number to their order.  Additionally, a full 70% of respondents from our recent Web site survey said tracking is ‘very useful’ to them, and we certainly agree.

Enter Magnets.com 2.0, so to speak:  on the new Web site all customers will easily and seamlessly be able to track each of their orders, including where their magnets sit in the production process and, linking directly to FedEx and our other delivery partners, when they are slated to be delivered.  All with just a few easy clicks.

This is just one of dozens and dozens of new, cutting edge e-commerce tools and technologies our new Web site will be featuring.  Stay tuned to learn about additional enhancements that will be available upon release late this summer.
