Well, if you represent pressies4princesses, one that’s established, makes customers happy and is in it for the duration.
Anyone can buy some stock, throw up an OS Commerce website and sign-up with an affiliate network to immediately start driving traffic to their (empty) store. It’s too easy. But, that isn’t all there is to building a successful retail business.
There’s plenty of horror stories and hate online about fly-by-night gift and gadget retailers. Typically, they launch with a lot of noise, a slick website and go straight for affiliate marketing as a shortcut to market share. They stick around for a year to 18 months before going bust or being sold and merged into more established businesses. But, sadly, often not before leaving a swathe of dissatisfied customers smarting in forums.
Pressies4princesses is new to affiliate marketing, so you’d be forgiven for thinking that we are just another of these sorry tales in the making. You may not have heard of us before. I mean, we’ve got pretty good search engine rankings, but we can’t be everywhere – that’s where you come in! You might be wondering what sort of outfit we are; whether it’s worth inflicting us on your users/ visitors?
Well, first off, we’ve been trading for over 3 years. And, have been online for over 6. We are pure play internet, with no shops or catalogue to steal your conversions. Best of all, we are profitable – at least have been every year since start-up – and responsible and reputable.
Net Alternative, the partnership that trades as pressies4princesses, is a member of the Giftware Association. The GA/ Giftware Association is the trade association for the UK gift and home industry and has been supporting and promoting this sector of the British economy for over 60 years.
Online security is a top priority for shoppers and serious businesses take their concerns seriously and do their utmost to reassure and protect. That’s why we use 3 year Verisign Certificates for pressies4princesses, not the cheaper and lesser brands. Verisign is the most trusted and recognised SSL certificate provider.
SSL Certificates are essential, but they don’t protect users from human errors in design and coding. That’s why we also subscribe to and are tested daily by McAfee SECURE . McAfee SECURE web sites have passed a set of daily security scans that helps address security concerns like hackers stealing confidential information. McAfee SECURE shops are safe shopping destinations.
Security aside, shoppers want to know they are dealing with a reputable store that’s going to treat them fairly. That’s why pressies4princesses is also a SafeBuy registered and assured retailer. The SafeBuy Consumer Code of Practice has successfully completed the first stage of the OFT’s Consumer Codes Approval Scheme.
So, you see, we are not chancers who just dropped in (for a while) to lose some money. We think we have a great little gift business that’s getting better all the time, because we keep pushing change. But, the best way to find out, is to start promoting pressies4princesses as your main retailer of gifts for women today!
