It's been awhile since my last update so let me catch everyone up with what has been going on.
We have been very busy this past weeks with overhauling the website (again). Since our customers are our top priority, I decided to rebuild the site completely. I added some features and removed some others. The same theme is still in use.
List of changes:
- Added Link Exchange area.
- Added Gift Certificates.
- Added Customer Loyalty Discount Program (see FAQs for details).
- Added Events Calendar to Store front.
- Added Catalog RSS Feed.
- Added Candle Information Links to store front.
- Added Clearance Category (all items 40 - 75 percent off).
- Added Estimated Shipping link to shopping cart.
- Added Package Tracking for UPS, USPS, FEDEX, and DHL for anyone.
- Removed Forums.
- Removed Customer Reward Points program.
Some other notable changes:
- Changed the Product Information page to show more information such as Strength of Scent rating & Quantity of item in stock.
- All shipping is now done through either UPS or USPS with a Local Delivery option for our local customers.
- All orders receive 10% off their shipping total on every purchase.
- We now have quantity discounts for certain items.
- Our Newsletter no longer requires site registration.
Still in the works is an Affiliate program and our Wholesale/Fundraiser customers will be getting their own store front.
As you can see we have been very busy behind the scenes. We are also getting ready for our Fall/Winter collection and are really excited about this years choices of scents.
Be sure to stop by Pine Tree Candles and checkout the changes for yourself and let us know how we are doing.
