AmericanSuitStore.com Goes Global with Bongo

March 8, 2012 - PRLog -- The initial focus of AmericanSuitStore.com was the domestic market, but international inquiries started coming in almost immediately.  Upon looking more closely at traffic statistics, American Suit Store discovered that international hits on the web site were often as high as 10% a day.  The organization decided to expand overseas with Bongo International.  “Bongo offered us exactly the kind of integration and ease of use that we were looking for from an international shipper. The process has been seamless”, writes David Simmons of American Suit Store.

David Simmons, a 35 year veteran of the men's apparel industry, has led a career that has involved marketing, design and sales for several manufacturers. He has more recently become fascinated with the growth of online retailing as improved technology and online sales increase in lockstep.  The timing is excellent as the latest numbers from Forrester Research predict European e-Commerce alone to increase 12% annually through 2016.  Additionally, Australian online commerce is predicted to outpace regular AU retail.  Mr. Simmons is already anticipating strong business from Canada, Europe, Australia and New Zealand.  

Consumers have become accustomed to buying online.  Buying men’s clothing over the internet has become more popular as fewer and fewer men’s specialty stores exist, and the one's that still do have cut back on the sizes and styles they offer.  American Suit Store offers a full collection of suits, sport coats, blazers, trousers, tuxedos, shirts, shoes and outerwear in all sizes.  

Mr. Simmons adds, “As we move into the Spring/Summer season much of our focus will be on timeless and classic American looks, particularly our cotton program. Seersucker and poplin suits are synonymous with the American look and we believe American Suit Store offers the best collection of cotton suitings, sport coats, trousers and shorts. In addition, we have many shoe and shirt styles that go perfectly with cotton clothing in the summer.”  

American fashion is quite popular elsewhere in the world.  Classic American menswear has been, and will continue to be, high on that list.  Now it will be more easily accessible with Bongo’s Checkout Solution.
