Largo, FL (PRWEB) June 17, 2008
iBusinessLogic Corporation (http://ibusinesslogic. com) (Largo, Florida) is very pleased to be working with Ten Golden Rules and their client Extreme Halloween Inc. to design a Halloween themed eBay store for the company's Annie's Costumes brand. Extreme Halloween owners Harold Maxwell and daughter Shari McConahay operate 13 related eCommerce websites offering seasonal and year-round costumes and costume-related merchandise.
The company, whose corporate offices are located in Dania, Florida, started as a Hallmark retailer in the 1980s and transitioned into costume sales in 1996 with an online superstore concept. Extreme Halloween utilized eBay sales in the past with a generic eBay Stores off-the-shelf design using the eBay provided Sell Your Item form or Turbo Lister to list overstock merchandise. This system presented a problem for eBay sales during peak seasons, as it was too difficult to scale up to meet demand during the peak costume sales months. The company would simply close their eBay store during those peak selling periods because inventory could not be reconciled with the existing eBay tools.
This unique design and operational challenge offered iBusinessLogic Corporation of Largo, Florida an opportunity to debut its AuctionLogic eBay listing & inventory management suite and its premier international business alliance with U. K. based eBay design firm Frooition at eBay Live 2008. iBusinessLogic. com provides ecommerce, eBay and online social marketing solutions to small business merchants nationwide.
IBusinessLogic is providing the Annie's eBay operation with its AuctionLogic (http://auction-logic. com) eBay listing and inventory management solution to help the company grow and meet the needs of eBay buyers at the same time. AuctionLogic is a web-based eBay listing tool and management suite which will import standard inventory formats and allow reconciliation of Extreme Halloween's inventory with their eBay inventory at a cost effective fixed price. Annie's new eBay Stores design theme will be continued on every listing with the implementation of an integrated template in the AuctionLogic listing program once the inventory import is complete.
AuctionLogic (http://auction-logic. com) does not charge per listing or final value fees and can perform the duties of several employees with an easy to use and understand interface. Harold Maxwell was especially excited to know that AuctionLogic exports data to UPS WorldShip, allowing him to streamline the shipping process in the company's warehouses. "We are enjoying the relationship with iBusinessLogic and are excited about the opportunities available to offer our costume products on eBay year round" said Harold and Shari.
Now that Annie's Costumes main eBay storefront is installed, the next phase of iBusinessLogic's redesign of Annie's eBay store will be to complete an eBay "me" page featuring Annie's innovative SecondLife Halloween store concept. While new eBay rules will prevent any hard links from the "me" page to the SecondLife site, plans are still to show screenshots or video clips of this virtual world store. The new eBay Stores design was influenced greatly by the concept presented in this SecondLife project. Besides the Second Life Halloween costume shop, Annie's Costumes also built a virtual haunted house which features blood stained walls and a maze of catacombs underneath the house for Second Lifers to explore and get a thrill. As a sponsor for Halloween Hall of Fame, Annie's Costumes built a virtual museum to honor the members who have made Halloween a popular holiday. From a mom and pop business to an online Halloween costume shop and an eBay store to a virtual destination, Annie's Costumes continues to innovate and change how Halloween costumes are sold.
