Infopia Helps JJ's Toy Shop Grow a Fairy-Tale Business
Online retailer sees 300% jump in holiday sales with expanded capabilities and online presence
Salt Lake City, UT - December 12, 2006 - Infopia, the industry leader in Multi-Channel, Online selling solutions, today announced that online retailer JJ's Toy Shop has reported an over a 300% jump in sales after launching Infopia's eCommerce solution. With Infopia, the "Mom and Pop" business slashed administrative time to focus on more strategic work, as well as dramatically expanded their online presence and eCommerce partners.
Launched in the husband-and-wife team's family garage, JJ's Toy Shop selected Infopia to both ratchet up their order processing capabilities as well as extend their business beyond their eBay storefront. Infopia's solution streamlined and automated routine and time-consuming tasks - such as manually managing eBay listings/re-listings and processing shipping labels - enabling the business to not only scale up their eBay business, but also to significantly expand their online presence and sell on other e-marketplaces, such as Amazon, Overstock.com, Sell.com, uBid, and others.
"As a small business with a limited operating budget, we've never made an investment of this scale before - but after doing our homework at eBay Live! 2006, we were confident that Infopia was the right bang-for-our-buck solution to help us quickly beef up our bottom line," explained Jason Barnes, owner of JJ's Toy Shop. "Our success with Infopia validates our decision to trust them with our business, our dream. Without Infopia's eCommerce solution, it would have taken us years to make the leap to this next level."
With Infopia, JJ's Toy Shop was also able to neatly tie their systems together, for instance, integrating with their existing shipping and payment providers, including UPS WorldShip, USPS, Endicia, PayPal, Google Checkout, Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and others. The jump in operating efficiency, combined with the resulting growth in product offering capacity and sales channels, enabled the company to quadruple sales within a week of solution deployment. Comparing year-to-year Christmas season sales, the online retailer reported not only an increase from an average of 35 orders a day in 2005 to about 100 orders a day in 2006, but also an accompanying jump in average order size and profit margin.
"Whether for start-ups or multi-billion dollar corporations, our solutions are designed to help extend their online business to drive more transactions, revenue, and profits," explained said Bjorn Espenes, chief executive officer of Infopia. "The results reported by JJ's Toy Shop are illustrative of how an investment in Infopia eCommerce solutions can rapidly deliver tangible, bottom-line results."
