Guess what? We're building you a website!
e-Retailer 2002 is a proactive initiative we're undertaking to help you cost-effectively develop an online presence without the financial risk,
without the need for new hardware/software, internal IT personnel or expensive and ongoing site maintenance. The writing
is on the wall. The Internet is here to stay, and we'd like to help you take advantage of it's full potential.
eRetailer 2002 is a 100% voluntary program, but the benefits for you and your customers are tremendous. In our efforts
to grow our business, we know the best way to do that, is to help you grow yours. The Internet is a powerful marketing tool. It
allows small players to look like and act like big players. It allows you to reach new markets, serve existing ones better and
develop customer loyalty like no other communications medium can.
How will it benefit my operation?
- position you as an a knowledgeable gardening expert and resource in your market
- capture "mindshare" as well as marketshare
- make your site a one-stop product and information source for gardening enthusiasts, not only in your local market, but around the world
- increasing consumer confidence, trust and long term loyalty = increased floor traffic, sales and average checkouts
What will my the site include?
We've spent years and thousands of dollars developing a searchable database of over 1500 varieties of perennials, ferns, groundcovers, grasses, herbs and more. We're spending considerably more developing the technology that will make this database and many other value-added features available to you on your co-branded website.
Your site will include newsletters customized with your welcome and promotional messages. Daily and weekly gardening tips, how-tos, feature stories, gardening news feeds and more - will all make your site an invaluable resource and frequent destination for gardening enthusiasts. The more they come back the more they'll recognize you as a leader in the field. Capturing mindshare inevitably results in capturing marketshare.
Can I add information about my garden centre?
Certainly. That's the whole idea. We want to help establish you and your garden centre as the foremost specialists in your market. Your site will even include your logo and you can select your colours. You can further customize your site to include several personalized pages like About, Location, Hours of Operation, Events, Seasonal Promotions, Free Newsletters, pictures of your garden center and staff, community happenings and more....all customized and relevant to YOUR garden centre.
I'm not comfortable with computers and I don't have the time to manage the site.
Guess what? You don't even have to own a computer or be online to participate in the program. We take care of everything. We'll help you customize your site with your information. We'll host the site and take care of the all the technology. If you are comfortable with computers and the Internet, you can even edit your information online and as often as you want.
But I already have a site.

The pages we design will integrate seamlessly with your existing site, including your logo and graphics. The content we provide will add additional value and make your visitor's experience even more rewarding.
