Cape Town, South Africa (PRWEB) May 11, 2012

36Boutiques, South Africas premier online fashion retailer, and Foschini have partnered to bring sophisticated and fashionable South Africans three limited edition designer T-shirts. The shirts are designed by three participants in the AFI Foschini Fastrack competition and will be available exclusively on 36Boutiques.com.

The AFI Foschini Fastrack competition is an initiative to give young student designers a prominent platform within the South African fashion industry. Its panel of expert judges not only selects the cream of the crop of the years students, but also provides invaluable advice and a constructive critique for all the young designers involved.

36Boutiques now introduces them to the South African market as some of the best young designers to enter the fashion industry this year. Through this relationship with Foschini, visitors to 36Boutiques will receive a free t-shirt designed by one of the three when buying any Foschini items from 36Boutiques.

The three designers are:

Mia Kriek, a graduate from Elizabeth Galloway Academy of Fashion Design who produced a collection inspired by the apocalypse style of the modern urban warrior woman that empowers woman and portrays them as strong leaders and icons in society. Kriek has always been fascinated by the female body and seeks to accentuate natural curves to create an imposing figure. Smart, lush and powerful are her key words.

Chelsey Wilson, another graduate from Elizabeth Galloway Academy of Fashion Design, produced a collection entitled “The Story of a Girl” showing pretty pastels in modern shapes, with a feminine and vintage feel to it. Designing clothes gives Wilson the opportunity to express herself artistically, while also combining a sense of practicality that is required for everyday dress.

Thoki Tafeni, a graduate from Cape Town College of Fashion Design, produced a collection inspired by the Frieda Kahlo painting, The Broken Column, the image of a back brace and the colours of a spine. Tafeni describes her style to be classic with a bit of an edge, which she translates throughout her designs.

*T-shirts are limited edition and only available while stocks last.

The well-established online store has a solid track record of selling internationally in volume, but had no system in place to deal with smaller international parcels. Michael Snyder, of mac of all trades explains, The lack of a solution to ship parcels internationally hurts anyone’s PR, and can cost customers who want to place larger orders. Notebooks are one example of an item that is perfect for selling internationally, due their minimal weight & tremendous popularity.

Without question, the demand for Apple products is high. Many international companies may not know these products are available on the used market from a trusted company. Mr. Snyder adds, “Currently, international traffic on the site rests between 5 10 %.” This is already a significant number that will increase with awareness and emerging markets. International e-Commerce figures are healthy across all sectors, particularly this one.

Bongo handles the international details that can be cumbersome to retailers due to export compliance and licensing or branding restrictions. Additionally, Bongos Checkout Solution handles payment processing and removes any risk of international fraud for the online store. The international consumer checks out as if on a local site, and the orders are in international transit on average of 3 5 days. This creates a positive customer experience, and allows mac of all trades to remain focused on maintaining their well-established product quality and consistency.

About mac of all trades

mac of all trades was founded in 1995 as a computer mail-order company. At the time, half the business was PC and the other Mac. In 1998, the name was changed from The Computer Exchange to mac of all trades to better reflect us exclusively reselling Apple equipment. Although we had a website in ’90s, our commerce was still done traditionally via, phone, fax, and email. We learned the mail order business, trading Apple equipment, and processing orders online all fit together rather nicely. In 2001, we started processing orders online and have never looked back. Our website, services, and business have growth exponentially since. For more information, please visit http://www.macofalltrades.com.

The company has steadily expanded into new sectors from rail and marine, to petrochemical, utilities and industrial whilst developing the service offering to cover not only mechanical overhaul, but overhaul of electronic governors and turbine controls as well as actuators, steam valves and upgrades to control systems. As a result, EGS have been minimising risk, maximising profitability and equipping their customers to make the most of the resources they have to hand.

Key to all of this was the fact that EGS wanted to demonstrate to customers that whilst remaining dedicated to the root of the business, they now offer the latest technologies.

When planning their web strategy, EGS didnt simply want to display basic information about the company, they wanted to take the user-centred approach; so they set out to discover what existing customers would like to see. Thats where award winning digital agency, Cyber-Duck got involved.

EGS asked Cyber-Duck to come in and start from scratch; who was the average user who found themselves on the website and what did they want to find when they got there?

The user experience planning carried out in the strategic phase of the process enabled Cyber-Duck to identify which areas would require the greatest emphasis once the website reached wireframing and ultimately design.

The resulting website caters for both those customers that want to take the time to learn more about EGS product and service offerings, as well as those who simply want fast, straight-forward access to the particular service, product or contact they are looking for.

In addition, there are informative videos of employees as well as intriguing content on how a governor is stripped down, inspected and restored to as-new condition. There is also extensive information on all the products supplied and maintained by EGS as well as some examples of projects the company has worked on and the services they offer.

EGS Marketing Manager, April Hatcher said: During this process it was important that we got the point across just how focussed we are on our customer relationships, whilst also ensuring our newer product and service offerings are conveyed well. This is an on-going process, but the website is at the core of our new approach, which also incorporates social media, enhanced field sales and thedevelopment of internal processes and procedures.

About EGS

EGS was founded in 1984, and have several team members who have been repairing governing equipment for engines and turbines since the 1970s. The experience EGS have working with governors, actuators and control systems is probably unrivalled within Europe and their sophisticated test facilities are unique in the industry.

A key part of the companys identity is its established partnership with GE. Recognised officially as a Channel Partner and Value Added Reseller in 2006, GE have been a reliable source of product for EGS enabling them to be competitively priced within the industry. The in-depth process of becoming a channel partner also acts a testimony to EGS high quality standards.

The EGS / GE relationship is growing ever stronger as the two companies explore the possibility of EGS representing a GE control to expand their product offering to customers in addition to looking at extending EGS territory. EGS and GE also share expertise on retrofit projects, such as the Micronet project they recently jointly completed for E.ON, working together and making the most of the unique offerings of each company.

Cyber-Duck Ltd is an innovative and pioneering digital agency and consultancy specialising in delivering award winning User-Centred Solutions. The company works with over 100 global businesses ranging from businesses and organisations such as the European Union, NordicBet, BAM, Jewson, Halcyon Gallery and Arsenal FC.

Dr. Ralph F. Wilson, creator and long-time editor of industry-leading e-zine Web Marketing Today (http://www.wilsonweb.com), today announced the sale of this historic website and newsletter, effective May 1, 2012, to e-commerce publishers Kerry and Joy Murdock of Practical eCommerce.

Web Marketing Today is one of the best-known Internet marketing resources and has been in publication since the start of the commercial Internet in November 1995, says Kerry. Web Marketing Today taught an entire generation of marketers how to promote their businesses on the Internet.

Were delighted to add Web Marketing Today to our group of publications focused on the needs of small to medium online businesses, he says. Kerry and Joy Murdock launched Practical eCommerce in July 2005 to help smaller online retailers. It has since grown to include a dedicated staff of editors, contributors, and advertising consultants. A companion site, Ecommerce Developer, was launched in December 2009 to help developers and designers of ecommerce sites.

Practical eCommerce and Web Marketing Today have worked together for several years, since they both serve small to medium online businesses and attract advertisers that seek to reach this important demographic.

While Kerry Murdock will take over day-to-day editorial responsibility for Web Marketing Today, Dr. Wilson will stay on as Founding Editor. Were excited that Dr. Wilson will continue to contribute his popular video interviews as part of our regular content, says Murdock.

Dr. Wilson applauds the arrangement. Web Marketing Today will be in capable hands when Kerry Murdock assumes the editors chair in May, he says. My passion for nearly two decades has been to help online small businesses in the United States and abroad. I know that Kerry shares this passion.

Wilson previously published two newsletters in addition to Web Marketing Today the popular question-and-answer e-zine Doctor Ebiz, and the highly respected paid publication Web Commerce Today (1997-2008, later renamed Web Marketing Today Premium).

Dr. Wilson is the author of numerous books, including the foundational Planning Your Internet Marketing Strategy (Wiley, 2002), as well as many of the seminal works on Internet marketing topics, including: The Shopping Cart Report, The E-Mail Marketing Handbook, Guide to Search Engine Optimization, How to Develop a Landing Page, 10 Steps to E-Business on a Shoestring, How to Promote Your Local Business on the Internet, and How to Write an Ad that Clicks.

Over the last five years Dr. Wilson started adding video content to his publication. These five- to seven-minute video interviews have featured the worlds top experts explaining various aspects of Internet marketing and e-commerce, and Dr. Wilsons lights and video camera have been common fixtures at Internet marketing conferences. Nearly 250 of these interviews are currently available.

Dr. Wilson won the Tenagra Award for Internet Marketing Excellence in 2001. For five years he brought the one-day Doctor Ebiz Internet Marketing Seminar and Best Practices Internet Marketing Briefings to 20 U.S. cities. He has spoken on Internet marketing at universities, trade shows, at Internet marketing conferences, and to corporations worldwide.

The last 17 years have been an amazing ride, says Dr. Wilson. I think God put me in the right place at the right time so that I could help make a difference for thousands of aspiring online businesses.

Dr. Wilson currently serves as the Interim Pastor of First Baptist Church of Nevada City, California. He has also been a pioneer in helping to bring Christian ministries on board the Internet. His Internet based-Bible studies typically draw 5,000 to 6,000 students from up to 130 countries. He is the director of Joyful Heart Renewal Ministries and the author of 29 books in the JesusWalk Bible Study Series. The most popular of these is JesusWalk: Beginning the Journey (JesusWalk, 2009), a video-based, mentor-led approach to developing new Christians in the faith. Dr. Wilson and his wife Jean live in rural Loomis, California.

PhotoBiz is always striving to improve its user experience, and therefore it has enhanced several of its features. Customers, including photographers and creative artists, can now utilize custom order status indicators, enhanced My Account interactions, multi-lingual settings, and quick loading tile backgrounds.

From the beginning PhotoBiz has been committed to providing services that go the extra mile, said Lauren Marx, Chief Operating Officer of PhotoBiz. We love our customers and we promise to be their online partner in making their website the best that it can be.

PhotoBiz Store Sites are an exceptional online platform for photographers and other businesses to sell virtually anything. PhotoBiz relies on its customers feedback for further refinements and added features. Here are four of the latest upgrades for PhotoBiz Store and Blog Sites.

Upgraded Orders page allows for custom status reports. After requests for help with managing work flow, the PhotoBiz Store Sites now allow for custom status reports. Previously the only status report was for payment: paid or pending. Now any custom order status can be created for ordering procedures, which helps keep customers informed.

Create and manage your own My Account page. PhotoBiz has developed a way for customers to have a more interactive experience with its Store Site. Visitors can now edit their billing and shipping information, update their account password, as well as view their past order and invoice history. Each of these changes allow for simple, easy retrieval of order information, and an overall richer shopping experience.

Do business in multiple languages. Just as PhotoBiz has customer support agents who speak Spanish, PhotoBiz recognizes many of its customers do business in Spanish. The Multi-lingual feature added to Store and Blog Sites allows for Spanish language settings. Other languages will be added in the future.

Tiled backgrounds for faster load times. PhotoBiz has developed a new upgrade for backgrounds to allow for faster load times tiles. The advantage to tiling the background versus having a full page background is that the tiled image is smaller and therefore the page loads faster.

About PhotoBiz

Founded in 2004, PhotoBiz, LLC is a managed web solutions company for photographers, creative professionals, and other businesses backed by Passionate Support®. PhotoBiz specializes in designing and hosting Flash and HTML website portfolio templates, mobile sites, ecommerce store sites, blog sites, and slideshow tools for online client proofing all expressly created with SEO in mind.
