The global economy is hitting the retail industry hard with consumers spending less on non-essential and luxury items whilst trying to manage their own personal debt better. However, while offl ine retail is suffering, online sales are increasing as consumers have become more web savvy and are searching out bargains online. Online sales have increased over the past 12 months and nearly half of consumers (approx. 46.7%), now shop online.

Consumers are turning to online shopping, not only to grab a bargain, but also to shop with less hassle. As stores now deliver items at a customer’s convenience with the push of a button, shopping couldn’t be easier.

In the Furness area it is important that retailers embrace online shopping to increase their customer base and essentially their profi t. Barrow companies are disadvantaged by the location of the town, (being surrounded by sea on three sides) and other towns in the area just don’t attract the footfall to enable independent retailers to grow and prosper.

Red Abbey offers a range of ecommerce solutions using: Actinic, SimpleCart, PayPal, Sage Pay and other shopping cart and payment solutions, ensuring that customers have a professional, secure and search engine friendly site.

ILLUMINATED BOAT NAMES

We understand the importance of visual marketing in today’s modern business environment and are able to create stylish designs aimed at your target audience.

Your customers can gain quite a bit of information just by looking at your logo, branding and promotional literature. They will come away with a lasting impression of how you are as a company, what you represent and what your values are.

If you treat your marketing materials as an afterthought, don’t be surprised if potential new customers don’t get inspired by what they view and read. However, a well thought out approach to how you brand your company and how you portray yourself can work wonders in encouraging customers to respond.

We can work with you on using colour, typefaces and suitable images to create a sense of what you as a company can offer your customers. In a very competitive market, simple photocopies and self printed leafl ets no longer suffi ce.

We work with a range of clients, each with their own requirements and objectives. From businesses just looking to generate more business through a simple mailshot to new start businesses searching for ideas on marketing, branding and initial promotional ideas.

Our primary aim to to help your business look, feel and be the best it can be.

Creative design to make your company stand out.
