Women ARE allowed to change their minds!

Hi everyone

Well our new site hasn't even been opened a month and already we have commenced a complete redesign .... I know, I know, it is not like I dont already have enough to keep me busy but I really wanted to up it one more notch!

So keep your eyes open for the new layout within the next week or so. Remember, if you have any problems loading the site, just clear your browser history/cache and that should fix the problem.

I hope everyone is prepared for the silly season and hectic summer months ahead. I wish I could say I was but hmmmm.

Until next time,

Terri

OUR NEW SITE OPENS

Finally, after many months of computer-induced headaches, I am happy to say that our new and improved web site finally opened on the 1st November 2007.

We are still making changes to the design and layout and I have to say a special thank you to Tina at Elaborique for her never ending patience and assistance in helping us with this project. Another thank you must go to the team at Merchant Moms, again John and his team have provided unlimited support and advice with the changeover and implementation of our new site. If anyone in Australia is looking to open their own web page/site, I can truly recommend both to you!

Our new site has many new Products and Features:
  • Books and Posters - mostly the books are in Chinese or Japanese, but the photos are incredible and usually include detailed step-by-step procedures. We could not find anything comparable made in Australia.
  • Showcase - this is my version of the Chinese Books! I have uploaded images and instructions and I hope you will contribute also.
  • Wholesale Pricing - we are offering businesses a better pricing structure on our items. If you have a registered business name or ABN then you should complete the application form for approval. We have decided that rather than expect you to buy in bulk to receive discounts, we would offer across the board discounting to businesses to help increase profit margins and to show that we appreciate their custom. Wholesale pricing can only be applied via web-site orders.
  • Blog - well you must know about this to be here! We hope that this blog will keep you informed and we invite you to share your opinions and ideas.
  • Newsletter - we will on occasion send out a newsletter via email - please add your name to the mailing list if you would like to be included.
We will be working on adding more new items over the coming months and also improving the quality of our photos on site.

Hopefully our new site will eliminate the problems that we were having with our shopping cart and will make your online shopping experience with us a more pleasurable one.

Please do not hesitate to put forward your suggestions on things you think we can improve.

Thanks
Terri
