Mobile World

Plainview, NY (PRWEB) November 07, 2011

ChefsArsenal.com, a leading on-line retailer of gourmet housewares, is pleased to announce the launch of a dedicated mobile site just in time for the holiday shopping season. Shoppers will automatically be redirected to the m.chefsarsenal.com mobile version if the site detects they are using a mobile phone. Tablet devices, such as the iPad will continue to see the full site.

Almost 10% of all traffic to ChefsArsenal.com is coming from mobile users, so this will provide an easier way for these customers to search, browse, and ultimately checkout. According to search engine marketing firm Performics Inc., 17.3% of all paid search ad clicks in December will originate from mobile devices. Last December that number was 9.5%. This launch will ensure their advertising dollars will not be wasted. Chefs Arsenal will also be offering a mobile coupon promotion to further encourage customers to buy using the new mobile platform.

We felt the need to be ahead of the curve when it came to mobile e-commerce. We looked at our competition both large and small, and none were making a focused commitment to mobile users. This new optimized site will ensure we take full advantage of this holiday shopping season and beyond, said Robert Steiner of Market Warehouse, the parent company of Chefs Arsenal. The staff at the Chef’s Arsenal is also predicting a huge increase in walk-in traffic to its Long Island, NY warehouse, because of the increased use of mobile. The warehouse will be open Monday through Friday 10AM-5PM, and the two weekends before Christmas.

Our growth this year has been amazing, despite the soft economy. Our year over year sales are up over 100%, the number of gourmet brands we carry has doubled since last holiday season, and our inventories are at their highest levels ever. Everything points to an amazing 4th quarter. Were ready! Steiner added.

In 2011 Chefs Arsenal added many prestigious brands to its lineup, including Omega juicers, Shun cutlery, Wusthof cutlery, and Mauviel copper cookware. With over 4000 items in stock from over 35 gourmet brands, including Zwilling J.A. Henckels, Staub, and Microplane, consumers can do all their holiday gift shopping in one place. Free shipping for Christmas delivery will be available through December 20th. This year, we are rewarding our most loyal Facebook fans, with free gift wrapping on all their purchases, says Steiner.

Miami, FL (PRWEB) November 14, 2011

Internet and digital service provider comparison site Broadband Expert (http://www.broadbandexpert.com) has announced its official launch in the US of its widely popular consumer-friendly broadband comparison-shopping site. Broadband Experts apples-to-apples shopping site will make the process of choosing internet, TV and phone providers easier, cheaper and more informative for consumers. Broadband Expert has developed a platform for real comparison shopping, where consumers will see for the first time the best deals and service for their individual digital needs based on where they live.

The Miami based company has already seen considerable growth since beta testing the website following a soft launch in early 2010. Company co-founder Rob Webber says, Many months have been spent researching and planning how to provide consumers with the ultimate resource for finding or switching internet service providers and other bundled products such as TV and phone services.

Webber goes on to say, Our aim is to provide a single platform where consumers can research and compare digital service providers available in their area to make a more informed choice before purchasing. By allowing consumers to read customer reviews of internet service providers, check availability, and compare prices and features of different providers, Broadband Expert will save consumers both time and money.

The official US launch comes after the companys success in the UK and Australia, where it runs leading broadband comparison sites. Webber says that the US was the next logical step for our business and represents a great opportunity. Its a very different market than the UK or Australia, with less choice of providers for most consumers. However, as competition grows as internet providers increase their geographical coverage and provide greater choice, we will be well positioned to aid consumers looking to find the best deals in their area. We hope that by comparing providers side-by-side we can help encourage competition, which will ultimately benefit the consumer.

During the soft launch period the site has already proved hugely popular attracting over 150,000 visits a month and is seeing rapid growth month on month, Webber says. By providing the best possible resource for consumers Broadband Expert is vying to establish itself as the go to resource for consumers looking to buy or switch digital services.
