New Web Site

Well Good News,

We are finally getting the new Web site up today Friday May 1st, 2009. It is a few months behind schedule from when we wanted it and there are still many additions and changes to be made but for the most part the basic system will be up and running.

New features include a new tab layout which allows you to go to the type of work you will be doing to see the products we recommend using for these jobs. That does not mean you may not use a product that is not on that drop down but these are the ones most used or recommended for the task.

Then on each tabbed page that is opened you will see the products description, sizes and prices. Current customers will still be able to go to the private customer log in area to see or print out a complete current price list so jumping around page to page to find pricing will not be necessary.

Coming soon will be the option to place items in a shopping cart order form. Although it will not be able to figure freight costs, since there are too many variables, it will send your order request to us here at Soap Warehouse where we will calculate the freight according to the order form and we will contact you back with the exact amount and departure shipping information for you.

There will now be a front page area we will place major announcements for anyone to see, links to our Blog, resource materials, our e-mail sign up button, and every month a link to our current Newsletter. This way everyone can come to the site and see the Newsletter instead of us trying to send out multiple batches of e-mailed newsletters just to clients we have e-mails for. We will still for a while send out e-mail notices when the new newsletter is available on the site.

Coming soon too hopefully will be photos and videos from our bi-monthly product contests. If you do not know about these contests please call and ask for the link to the forms and instructions. You could win product credit on your account by just sending in photos, videos and testimonials about the products you buy and use from Soap Warehouse. The link will be on the site as well shortly.

We will also have a page showing photos and information on previous and up coming events Soap Warehouse has sponsored or exhibited at. Right now these are only available at our intuit website at http://soapwarehouse.intuitwebsites.com/index.html there on the More Info page.

We will still have the private current customer only log in area with special offers and information, just for current clients.

We are adding a MSDS page listing for all products, right now it is just one large down loadable file but soon each tab page will have a link with each product to its own MSDS and in the future a technical product data sheet.

I hope that the new changes will make visiting our site easier and more enjoyable and we would love to hear any ones comments or suggestions about the site. Please send them to linda@soapwarehouse.biz. We are sending this out as an e-mail and are also posting this in its entirety as an entry in our blog.

For those of you who have never looked at our blog please take this chance to do so, you find some valuable information there. We also want to use the blog to answer any customer questions so please send us some.

Have a Great Weekend and Thank you for being a Soap Warehouse Customer.
