NEW LOOK DRINKON SITE GIVES GREATER VISUAL IMPACT TO FEATURED BRANDS

November 11, 2006 (PRLEAP.COM) Business News
This week sees the launch of a new-look website for leading online drinks retailer Drinkon. The new website and online shop has improved visual impact, devoting more space to displaying brands and delivering an all-round better shopping experience for the customer.

Since the Scottish-based company began trading in 2000, the company’s aim has been to offer the best range of alcoholic drinks on the web, through an attractive, secure and user-friendly e-commerce channel. With sales increasing at a rate of over 55% annually, this has proved a successful formula, with spirits sales in particular soaring.

Said Owner and Co-founder Lucy Mitchell ‘The new design will make it easier for our customers to move quickly around the site to find what they need. At the same time, the higher impact visuals provide greater prominence to featured brands and we hope this will have a positive influence on sales volumes in the run up to the Christmas period. The new look and feel reflects feedback from our core customer and supplier base and we’re looking forward to seeing the results in the coming weeks’.

Tara Benson, Creative Director at Shetland Distillers commented ‘Drinkon’s new site design brings the images of the brands to the fore in a visual feast. It’s immediately easier to navigate straight to the featured drinks, and the wine shop is much easier to find.

For Blackwood Distillers’ brands and others like ours, it’s wonderful to have the opportunity to include a cocktail or distillery picture alongside the more traditional bottle shot because it helps us share what’s special about each brand and what can be done with each drink.’

To celebrate the launch, which coincides with the company’s 6th Anniversary, Drinkon is running a 10% discount promotion for a limited period, and is working on a new wine range due to be unveiled soon.
