Leading Online Perfume Store Expands their Customer base to Include International Shipments

Oct. 5, 2009 - PRLog -- Bridgeport, CT

Scentiments.com is a leading retailer of fragrances.  Their company history chronicles a successful expansion.   From the initial inception and grassroots creation of retail locations, to online sales when online stores were not popular and the company was forced to take online orders via phone and email.  Fast forward to the present day when the second generation of the family-owned and operated business is now running a successful e-retail website selling any perfume or cologne you could think of.  But don’t mistake family-run for a small and underdeveloped venture, Scentiments.com is             now “a mid market sized firm with over 15 million in sales, describes CEO Howard Wyner.  Of course on the other hand, the benefit of being a “smaller” family business, “gives us added agility to make changes and improvements on the fly,” adds Wyner.  

That ability for quick changes and improvements is illustrated in the recent partnership of Scentiments.com with BongoUS for International shipments.  Items can now be shipped to over 220 countries right when you place your order.  “This is a global economy and we wanted to provide our goods and service to more untapped markets,” says Wyner.   The implementation process was simple and the purchasing process for customers is equally hassle free.  Order something from the website, set up a U.S. address with Bongo International, and your items are as good as in transit.  With Scentiments affordable prices, large collection of products, and informative guidelines about perfume application, they are quickly becoming the online “go to guru” of scent.  

Many types of companies large and small are desperately searching for ways to increase revenue for 2009. Business owners want to expand but can't afford any added expenses to their overhead. Justifiably, retailers worry about things such as customs compliance as well as credit card fraud. With a time commitment, BongoUS offers a free service to U.S. retailers. This includes handling all customs requirements and customer service, as well as thoroughly fraud screening their applicants before activating their account.

"For a merchant to have the benefit of cost savings with expansion, there is no greater opportunity that I know of than to utilize Bongo as a means of outsourcing the entire international component,” says Tom Preston, Account Executive of Bongo International.  Bongo International provides an easy transition into international e-commerce for companies based throughout the United States and with varying products.  By utilizing the U.S. Address, a retailer only has to ship their product domestically to BongoUS's warehouse in Bridgeport, Connecticut.
