BOWHEAD MANUFACTURING COMPANY LAUNCHES NEW E-COMMERCE WEB APPLICATION

MIAMI & SEATTLE – March 22nd, 2006 – BGT Partners, a full-service interactive marketing and technology consultancy, is proud to announce the launch of Shopbowhead.com – the new online home for Bowhead Manufacturing Company. The new web interface simplifies the shopping experience – with a user-centric visual design and robust product search engine. The new web presence includes a user-friendly administrative tool that allows administrators to keep products and images up-to-date for consumers. In addition to creating the site, BGT established a new interactive brand for Bowhead, including the creation of a new logo and online brand identity.

“We needed to make online shopping easier for our customers and create a new look for Bowhead in general, “says Dana Kimble, Bowhead Marketing Manager. “ We now have a more robust site that allows our customers to log in to view special pricing, opt-in for newsletters and customize products. I am extremely happy with our new website, and our customers are too!”

“It is always our goal to deliver creative, cutting-edge solutions that bring immediate value to our clients,” says BGT Director of Global Strategy, Andrea Fishman. “We are confident that our work with Shopbowhead.com will serve as a key tool in the continued success of Bowhead Manufacturing.”

The success of the new web initiative is closely followed by Bowhead’s Silver Award win for Plant Engineering Magazine’s “Product of the Year”. Bowhead served as the marketing force behind Power Flare’s Safety Lights and is set to accept the award on March 20th at the National Manufacturing Week Award Banquet in Rosemont, Illinois.
