Christmas Discount

Having had another busy year, we are happy to offer customers a 15% pre-Christmas discount. Just use code XMAS08 at the checkout (not available with Google Checkout) at www.eyeeco.co.uk/shop

We successfully launched our Zen Cart online shop in July, bringing card payments to our online customers for the first time in 4 years! We also added Google Checkout at the same time, and now all of these payment channels work alongside PayPal that we have always offered online.

The experience of setting up a Zen Cart shop was a little over-whelming to begin with! But once we got underway with the design, we started to understand more of the technicalities, and now we wouldn't be without it - it is very easy to keep up to date, with loads of features and functionality. We are very happy to recommend Zen Cart to anyone looking for an e-commerce solution.

Google Checkout proved to be one of the stumbling blocks on our new shop - they withdrew the %age discount functionality from the UK market, so that we have to run 2 discount streams whenver we have an offer going. Google Checkout does have its good points, though, among them the lack of fees for Adwords clients: they allow you to receive £10 income for every £1 spent on Adwords before charging you any fees, and they don't charge for withdrawals under £50. It would just be great if they would re-introduce the %age discounts again!

We also successfully launched a campaign to get local Distributors around the UK for our Heat Packs, while giving them the option to take our Eye Eco products too. We have also started looking further afield into Europe, with possible Distributors in Slovenia and Slovakia: we welcome enquireies from other parts of Europe keen to take on Heat Packs and Eye Eco. You can find details about being a Distributor at www.distributor.instantheatpacks.co.uk

We would like to thank all of our customers for the ongoing patronage, and wish you all a Very Merry Christmas and a Prosperous New Year.
