SilverGallery.com Responds to International Inquiries with Bongo

May 31, 2012 - PRLog -- Currently, 10% of their website traffic is international.  The top 3 countries are the U.K., Canada, and Australia, and the UK alone is an eCommerce powerhouse that has consistently done well throughout the global recession, as have Australia and Canada.

After receiving inquiries from all over the world they opted to open their online store to international customers.  Silver Gallery offers exceptional quality and their products are sought out for this reason.  “Classic silver and pewter gifts, like those found at Silver Gallery are always in demand. Our customers tell us that when they shop at their local stores it is difficult to find the same level of quality product and skilled customer service that they find at Silver Gallery,” says Stephen Dahl of Silver Gallery.
 
Bongo Checkoutis the solution selected which creates a seamless and secure checkout experience for international shoppers.  The process mimics a domestic checkout with currency and language localized to further remove any guesswork on the part of the consumer.  The full landed cost (duties, taxes, shipping) is available prior to purchase.   Additionally, Bongo provides shipping to over 220 countries within a 3 – 5 day period.  Stephen Dahl adds, “Bongo’s pricing, compared to similar services, is much more competitive. This allows us to save our international customers money. The implementation was painless – we were up and running in a very short time.”

International eCommerce offers online retailers revenue opportunities that are not available elsewhere.  The growth has been consistent and strong even in countries where the economy is struggling.  The EU is a good example of this scenario where, despite the overall economy, eCommerce is predicted to continue growing at 16% annually.  For more information on Silver Gallery products, visit SilverGallery.com.
