Hotline is one of the most innovative online Branded Promotional Products organisations in the world. From humble beginnings, with 300 products, the company has grown to a multi-million pound, 2000+ product operation, servicing customers the length and the breadth of the UK.
The company was founded on innovation. Former professional footballer, Mike Galpin, and his brother Paul, spotted an opportunity in the merchandising marketplace. In the intervening years they have continued to lead the industry. They have created, they have invested and they have always been first out of the blocks and ahead of the trend.
With another first, Mike and his team are revolutionising the way that customers can interact in the promotional merchandise sales process. Their new tool, Visual Zone, enables customers to see how their logo and taglines will look on the merchandise that they are looking to purchase.
Hotline has achieved 500% online sales growth since the implementation of this amazingly functional customer experience tool. Visual Zone simply makes the process better for their customers; and customers have voted with their orders.
Customers clearly value Visual Zone!
Hotline.co.uk Sales Director Ollie Galpin says, "The new interaction with the site allows customers to preview their logo and message on the products prior to purchase."
Customers can navigate to any of the 2000+ promotional products. Then from the right-hand side panel they can upload their logo. They can then resize, re-position and zoom in to preview their merchandise. They can adapt product and logo colours, and add text to further enhance their products.
Paul Goswell, Marketing Manager explains: "The technology on our website basically enables customers to shop, test out their logo on products, order and receive their branded merchandise in the same time it takes some of our competitors to get back to them with a quote."
As the old cliché goes "time is money". We all strive to be more efficient in what we do, whilst achieving superior results. The new Visual Zone tool from Hotline certainly ticks both of these boxes.
Visual Zone is just the latest indication of the philosophy of the Hotline management team. They have spent six-figures developing their website and user functionality. Their relentless pursuit of progress is massively refreshing in this age of austerity. The Hotline approach is truly customer-centric. They understand that the success of their customer translates directly into their own success.
Ollie enthuses "We have been delighted with the impact the Visual Zone tool has had on our business. Customers have the ability to instantly personalise promotional products online. They don't have to wait for product samples. Our improved service has meant customer loyalty has grown. More people are choosing to come back to Hotline.co.uk than ever before. That speaks volumes."
Hotline have always been at the front line in the branded promotional products industry. Visual Zone is the way of the future, now. It is the best, most efficient way for customers to get their products exactly how they want them. The foresight of the management team has placed them ahead of the chasing pack.
Hotline already sells over 2 million promotional pens every year, aside from everything else. How many million are they going to sell in the future?
Ollie makes it clear that Hotline are not resting on their laurels. They are already working on new advancements to make their customer experience even more engaging and rewarding.
He states that "by investing in our website, and the wider online customer experience, we have seen incredible results. Online visuals are the future of promotional materials. We are delivering the future today. There is more to follow, so watch this space."
