As a prior entry detailed, we recently introduced a Value Buy business card magnet produced with the same print and finish you’ve come to expect from Magnets.com, all on slightly lighter magnetic material (20 vs. 25ml). Given customer feedback we expected a good deal of traction, but were taken aback by their sheer popularity: since introduction, our value buy business card magnets have accounted for over 50% of all business cards sold on Magnets.com. Talk about a hit.
That got us thinking: why not put our customers in the driver’s seat, enabling them to choose the thickness of their magnets? Brilliant, indeed! With our new Web site set for launch later this year, you’ll be able to choose from three magnet thicknesses which, like today, are composed of approximately 77% recycled raw materials:
Choosing the thickness and price point of your magnets… just another reason to stick with Magnets.com.
The entire Magnets.com staff and our team of vendors have been hard at work designing and developing our new Web site, scheduled for launch later this year. Filled to the brim with the newest online and e-commerce goodies, many of which our customers have asked for, some highlights include being able to:
Of course, it’ll also be easier to use and much prettier. But don’t just take our word about the whole pretty thing –why not take a sneak peek and let us know what you think!? What’s more, while taking a look you’ll come across a promo. code that is good for 10% off your next order, if used before 8/31/2010. Just a little token of appreciation to all our loyal customers.
Save some money (and time), and make your message stick with Magnets.com.
Let’s say you’re knee deep designing a custom magnet for your business (as a prior entry detailed, you’ll have the option to design your magnets from scratch, customize hundreds upon hundreds of design templates, upload your own completed artwork, or have us design your magnets). All of a sudden your boss calls and needs you to put out a fire. Ten minutes ago. What to do with the lovely magnet design you’ve worked so hard on?
Forget starting from scratch: on the new Magnets.com Web site you’ll have the ability to save any and all magnets you design -no matter where in the design process you are- so you can seamlessly jump back in when the fire’s out or when you have a moment. What’s more, with the ability to share any and all of your designs with friends, family, and colleagues via any social media platform (or even plain old e-mail), you’ll be able to receive feedback or simply share your cherished design, all with just a few easy clicks. Talk about a practical stress reliever…
Check back to learn about additional features that will be available on the new Magnets.com Web site, scheduled for release late this summer.
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!?
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?:
Swing by to learn about additional features that will be available upon release late this summer.
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.
A few weeks ago we announced that we’re creating a brand new Web site, set to launch toward the end of summer, complete with the newest online and e-commerce technologies.
We also asked our customers to take a short survey about which Web features and capabilities are most important to them…and here are the results (of course, we certainly appreciate everyone’s time and assistance!).
In a nutshell our customers want it all including being able to:
In fact, we’re going to incorporate each option and all specific feedback provided into our new Web site! Stay tuned as we’ll be detailing specific site features, including the above, and providing sneak peeks.
Best,
The Magnets.com team
