Berkshire Fine Handcrafts

John Yates, owner of Berkshire Fine Handcrafts, has over 2,500 products in his store made by 300+ regional artists as well as an extensive inventory of fair trade handcrafts from all over the world. John is using Quickbooks POS in his store to manage his inventory. Since most of the products in John's store are one of a kind, he needed to make sure that he didn't sell the same item twice, once from the store and once from the internet. We have integrated the Quickbooks POS system into our eCatalog and eCart modules to prevent this from happening. All of John's inventory has been automatically uploaded from his Quickbooks POS system to his on-line catalog, along with inventory counts, product descriptions, prices, etc. The two systems talk to each other every five minutes to keep in sync. All sales, returns, and canceled sales made on the internet change the inventory in the Quickbooks POS system appropriately. All sales, returns, and purchase orders made in the Quickbooks POS system make the appropriate changes in the web sites inventory.

BananaTana

Marilyn Coussoule, owner of BananaTana, was spending a lot of money on print advertising that didn't seem to have much effect on increasing her client base. She wanted a website that showed off the state of the art tanning equipment in her facility and would give clients an incentive to visit her. The Bananatana website features several videos demonstration the features and advantages of Marilyn's equipment. To provide incentive for her potential clients, Marilyn is using our eSurvey module to create her own on-line surveys. Clients completing the survey and registering on the site, are emailed a gift certificate. All of the release forms for the various pieces of equipment are on the website. Customers who complete the release forms on-line are emailed a gift certificate. Marilyn has dropped all of her print advertising and is seeing an increase in her business.

I would be more than happy to recommend Jim Drawe and Allan Douglas as web designers. They were recommended highly to me and I chose them to help me in building the web site for my business in Pittsfield, Massachusetts. As we are in the process of adding to our services to include very high end skin care technologies and services, we wanted to incorporate an innovative web presence, and Jim and Allan were insightful and creative in helping us achieve that goal. Our collaborative effort can now be viewed at Bananatana.com and Jim is available to us as we expand and add yet more services and links to this ongoing effort. I find this experience to be rewarding and am more than satisfied with their efforts, creative advice, guidance and patience. Their other web designs are a work of art also. Sincerely, Marilyn Coussoule, owner Bananatana 575 Tyler Street Pittsfield, Mass

In 2006, Vermont-NEA decided to make available to its 11,000 members a professional programs website. Although we had a few ideas about design and content, we needed expert advice on how to build a website that would meet the needs of our members and provide enhanced capabilities for conference management, such as building a customer database, providing credit card options and the ability to communicate with members after they registered for a conference or workshop, creating reports with the data we needed to collect, and much more. Vermont-NEA chose DD Graphics WebMedia to build what has turned out to be a highly effective, attractive and efficient website.
