Exclusively Weddings Launches New Look with MICROS-Retail eOne Web Commerce Solution

"Our site and our solution needed a facelift. We redesigned the site and selected eOne Web Commerce from MICROS-Retail to update the features of www.exclusivelyweddings.com, improving the functionality for our customers and making it easier for our internal web team to manage the site on a day-to-day basis," stated Cindy Marshall, President, Pace Communications E-Commerce. "The launch of the new website was very smooth and we have already seen and increase in traffic, which was expected from better SEO capabilities."

As the site's name implies, Exclusively Weddings is the go-to site of choice for brides-to-be. It offers an extensive selection of invitations, favors, wedding accessories, and bridal party gifts. Shopping is easy with merchandise available by category, color, theme, and collection. Founded in 1992, the company first served brides exclusively through the catalog channel. In 1999, it launched its first web site.

"Along with offering unusual or hard-to-find merchandise, we do an extensive amount of customization -- embroidery, embossing, engraving, and printing. We required a solution that excelled at collecting and disseminating that level of detail and keeping it married to the order. One of the main reasons we chose eOne was its ability to manage the complexity and the flexibility of the platform," continued Marshall.

"I am pleased that Exclusively Weddings chose our eOne Web Commerce solution and that it is already benefitting from the decision," stated John Gularson, Managing Director of MICROS-Retail. "We are looking forward to a long and prosperous relationship."
