New iPhone Cases Range

Hello all,

In the next couple of days, I'll be adding a new range of iPhone cases. I've realised that although the current leather cases are all hunky-dory, I think that it's time for a bit of variety.

Here are a couple of images from the new range:













Every case comes with a free plastic LCD screen protector (as you can see in the image), in order to ensure that your iPhone's screen does not get scratched during day-to-day use (unless you already have one - even so, it's nice to have spares)
The website will stoc the following colours:
  • Orange
  • Red
  • Light Pink
  • Fluorescent Pink
  • Grey
  • Green
  • Purple
  • Blue
  • Clear

This particular range is all plastic, but I will be releasing a range of silicone cases within the next few weeks, once the plastic covers have been properly catalogued and advertised etc (all the boring bits).
I shall post details of the next range in a similar fashion to this one.

So, would you buy one of these? Give me your opinion by leaving a comment.

Until next time,

Tristan

Customer Referral Program

Hello everyone,

As an incentive for the new(ish) website, customers can tell friends and family about Caesar Trading, and if they buy a product, the original customer (this could be you!) will receive a 10% discount on their next purchase, no matter what the price or product is.

The more in-depth version of the Customer Referral Program is here if you're interested - http://tinyurl.com/y4o8ofj

For the next post, I'll be writing about our new iPhone case range.

That's all for now folks! (too cheesy?..)

Car Accessories Category

Hello all,

Was just speaking to a friend of mine about the online store, and I realised that I still don't have any products orientated at drivers! There is a chance that I will be selling a special bluetooth adapter that slots on the inside of the steering wheel, like this one here.

Would that be of interest to you?
If not (or even if so), what other kinds of car-orientated products would you like to see?
I have plans to sell a bluetooth product that allows your bluetooth-enable mobile phone or iPhone to connect to the speakers of your car, instead of messing around with AUX cables and tape player converters.

Tell me what you think (reply using the comments please!)

Speak soon!

New Chat Support Added!

Hello all,

Last night, I set up the website's new Chat Support system.
Provided by Zopim, the small toolbar at the bottom of the page allows you to chat with me, as though you were using MSN, Yahoo! etc. All you have to do is click on the Chat Now! button, and away you go!
The button also says whether or not I'm to talk back with you. But if I'm not online - fear not! The program sends your message as an email to my work phone, so that I can log on as soon as possible and get back to you to answer your question.
Why don't you give it a go now? Just visit the homepage, and when you see the chat toolbar at the bottom, just click and start typing.

Hope that helps anyone who wasn't sure what an earth the toolbar was!

Until next time,

Tristan

New Blog and Introduction

Dear Readers,

Welcome to the brand-new Caesar Trading blog! Here, you will be able to keep up-to-date with important product updates and general website information.


Also, as the owner of Caesar Trading, and the writer of this blog, I would like to formally introduce myself, and the business:

My name is Tristan Bacon, and I am the one-man team behind the Caesar Trading website. I run the business by myself, including sales, marketing, finance and general admin. I'm coping at the moment!

Caesar Trading was set up in early February 2010, so is still very new. The actual website is even newer, having been opened in early March.
Originally, I was an eBay seller, selling a lot of the product range currently on the website.
My topsellers were the iPod/iPhone Earphones (with microphone), and the iPod/iPhone mains charger, but then I decided to expand with my own online store - the eBay seller fees were a bit too high for me to qualify selling on there.
However, I had to sacrifice the almost-garuanteed customer-base that eBay offered, which leaves me where I am today!


So, I shall finish off now, as I must update the store's inventory.

Please tell your friends, family, co-workers and the dustbin-man about this blog, and about the website, as all sales would be massively appreciated!

See you soon!

Tristan
