Hunter Martial Arts Supplies

Prior to the launch of the Hunter Martial Arts Supplies website, the Hunter brand had already become a market leader in the Newcastle region for affordable and quality martial arts equipment.

The separation of the site from the Hunter Valley Martial Arts Centre meant that the Hunter brand could be further developed and marketed as an autonomous entity and provide greater opportunities for expansion.

The easy classification of product categories means that the website administrators can tailor the areas of the site to quickly match speed with the marketing direction of the business.

Kerrie Holmes started out just making 'special cakes' for her children's birthday's. Since then, Kerrie has grown this into a fulltime, professional cake decorating business with a shop front in Boolaroo.

Col Taylor Model Supplies

Prior to establishing a web presence, Col Taylor Model Supplies already boasted an established mail-order system for both domestic and international consumers from their headquarters in Wagga Wagga. With the introduction of their online store, Col Taylor Model Supplies has increased their turnover by over 20% and significantly increased their rate of telephone inquiries as customers began to realise there was a bargain to be found here.

Being somewhat daunted by the technical aspects of owning an eCommerce website meant that Col Taylor Model Supplies were pleasantly surprised at how easy the eCommerce Framework was to use. It gave them the ability to update their own website without any technical knowledge or cumbersome upload software.

Today, Col Taylor Model Supplies is a valuable source of information for the hobby enthusiast. Subscribed users are kept informed whenever new information is published to the website, and online ordering has become an additional source of sales.
