Not Just a Face-lift

October 29, 2008 on 11:16 am | In Uncategorized | No Comments

So, we have a blog. I don’t even read blogs. Now I am one..err..have one.
Here goes:

I would like to welcome our customers, old and new, to our updated on-line store design. After several years of small incremental changes, we have finally done something Big. I hope you like what we have done.

If you have never shopped with us before, I welcome you on behalf of our entire staff, and hope that we can be of service to you. And to our faithful regulars … Surprise!

We are commited to good service and have been working on a lot of improvements that will impact this mission in a very positive way. A few of the changes we have made to our web store are merely cosmetic, but most are functional in a way that we believe will allow us to offer you great value. Value to us is the sum of price plus convenience plus reliability. Many new links have been added to help you find information and sale products much easier. A mini shopping cart stays on each page to help you keep track of how much you are spending and to remind you how close your purchases are to free shipping. Our “Search” box has been placed front and center. We now have specific areas to highlight sale items and bring important information to your attention. And, we have added some new sections that we hope will help us get to know you better and for you to learn more about us. This blog for instance. (Who knew I was so full of it until now. I have never blogged before, but it looks like a good way to get into trouble by expressing one’s opinions.)

We have an new section where our customers can share photos and information about their projects. We would like to see what you are building, re-modeling, or re-doing using our hardware. If you are building a product for sale, go ahead and be crassly commercial. Send your product picture and feel free to link your site to this blog or dlawlesshardware.com. And, of course, we are crassly commercial too, so if you do not use our hardware… forgetaboutit!

Coming soon! (how’s that for original) D. Lawless Wholesale has been working for the last year-and-a-half or so re-doing our entire hardware facility. We have instituted a number of “sustainability policies” and have stepped-up our recycling and conservation initiatives to a level that would make even that self-serving blowhard Al Gore look bad ( oh, wait a minute, he doesn’t need our help for that) Anyway, we have devoted a section to our environmental efforts where we can share these efforts with you. I do believe that the public has been literally bombarded with “Green”, and that a lot of the hype just follows the money. Our efforts involve practical everyday solutions that every business can use — and saves both our customers and us that other important “green” $.

Well, now that I have fulfilled my prophecy of getting into trouble, I will close.

Thanks for stopping by,
Dave
