World Wide Web leads to World-wide Orders
Niche brick manufacturer, York Handmade Brick Co. Ltd, based at Alne, near York, is fast obtaining its sales targets with the considerable benefit of e-commerce. To date, York Handmade, who have just updated their web site - these orders were received as a result of the original site - have obtained orders to the value of £60,000, equivalent to approximately 100,000 bricks.
Said Chairman, David Armitage - "The beauty of e-commerce is that is gives small Companies the opportunity to compete on level terms with far larger organisations. The shop window, which we can literally offer the world, is clearly of great interest to users. Neither of these contacts had ever heard of York Handmade until they surfed the net looking for unusual individual character bricks. Our national market becomes a global market."
The two orders have been supplied to two sites as far apart as Sweden and California. The Company believes this is just the start of what could be a very exciting new market for it.
