UniformMarket.com Re-launched!UniformMarket has re-launched uniformmarket.com, a showcase site for the flagship services that are helping define eCommerce in the industry. If you're looking to increase your online store's profitability or want dealers to sell more of your products, then a visit to www.uniformmarket.com should be on your to do list.

For the first time, manufacturers and retailers can learn about the entire collection of UniformMarket services in one place, at one easy to navigate website. For manufacturers, the site presents a clear view on how they can benefit from participation in the Vendor Alliance Program, a valuable tool that assists authorized dealers in selling more online. And dealers can now view the largest collection of uniform products ever assembled by clicking the easy-to-locate Catalogs link.

The site also includes an important new addition to the UniformMarket Store System (UMSS). "Ready-to-Sell-Stores" are a collection of prebuilt web stores that focus on specific industry segments such as medical, industrial and hospitality.

In short, the re-launched uniformmarket.com is another effort by UniformMarket to achieve its ultimate goal: connecting uniform manufacturers' products and pricing to the retailers who sell them via secure eCommerce sites.

What can you expect to see on the re-launched www.uniformmarket.com? Here's a sampling:

• UniformMarket Store System. Used by hundreds of retailers, UMSS boasts, among other things, the best SEO tools to drive customers to your site, complete shopping cart with secure checkout, complete embroidery selection tool, preloaded leading manufacturers' catalogs, coupon and discount tools, and full product and pricing control to manage the "true SKU" product build function that prevents shoppers from ordering color and size combinations that do not exist.

You're in control with UMSS. Manage every aspect of your online store - from shipping to orders to categories and products – you're in the driver's seat.

• Ready-to-Sell Stores. If you've been on the fence about starting an online store, here's your chance to see what one would look like. You can now experience the look and feel of an actual store, right down to the products it may house. Examples of these "ready-to-sell stores" can be found at www.uniformmarket.com. Selling to the medical apparel industry? Click the medical store icon that appears on the homepage. Is private security your specialty? There's an icon for that and many more too.

The Ready-to-Sell Store concept takes the guesswork out of the planning process, and is the fastest and easiest way to get online. And like all UMSS stores, you're in complete control – you'll be able to create your own store in a few steps, all at the uniformmarket.com website.

• Vendor Alliance Program. Manufacturers can now share with authorized retailers their entire family of products - down to the SKU level - through the Vendor Alliance Program (VAP). Suppliers can also add additional features, such as near time inventory updates and drop ship programs. With VAP, dealers have all the information they need to better sell a manufacturer's products over the web. And manufacturers minimize time spent with retailers on electronic sales, while maximizing profits.

"There's no better way to help customers build online sales of our products," says Gary Schultz, CEO, Edwards Garment Company and a Vendor Alliance Partner. "It gives them a great selling tool as well." Complete details regarding the Vendor Alliance Program are now available on the uniformmarket.com website.

While manufacturers can learn how to participate in VAP, retailers can discover which of their vendors are in the program by visiting the new website. They'll be able to see current catalogs, as well as find out whether a vendor has signed on to near time inventory or drop ship enhancements. Manufacturers are coming on board daily, so the information changes quickly – be sure to visit www.uniformmarket.com often.

There's so much going on at UniformMarket these days that a visit to www.uniformmarket.com is as essential as that first cup of coffee in the morning. Visit today and discover how easy it can be to increase your profits and enhance your online presence.
