Target Regional Audiences

North East-based Euroworld Security Services Limited, the leading supplier of key security systems for industry and commerce in the UK, has selected n-e-shopping.com to help expand its customer base in the region and to grow its online sales from 10% to 80% of its total income.

(PRWEB) December 25, 2004 -- Sunderland-based Euroworld Security Services Limited, the leading supplier of key security systems for industry and commerce in the UK, has selected n-e-shopping.com to help expand its customer base in the region and to grow its online sales from 10% to 80% of its total income.

The company supplies many of the major North East motor dealerships, as well as police authorities, fire services, shopping malls, hotels and pubs with key security systems.

It also boasts the largest selection of traffic and security mirrors anywhere in Europe, including a revolutionary self clean and non icing traffic mirror.

Richard Greene, Euroworlds Managing Director says: I already use the Internet to promote and sell our range of safety and security products to customers all over the UK. But I also realise the huge potential for a locally based and upgraded website."

Through the Grow Your Business funded initiative, set up by n-e-life.com and supported by One NorthEast and ERDF*, he was able to access funding to finance his new website, www.euroworldsecurity.com and then link it to an online shopping mall n-e-shopping.com, where people can buy his products online.

Norma Foster, general manger of n-e-life.com says: the purpose of the mall is to allow independent merchants to sell their goods online with low risk and low outlay. In fact, through the Grow Your Business funded initiative, support is available which will cover most of the costs."

In the past, it has been expensive and difficult for independent traders to set up accounts with credit card companies and banks. Now they dont need to, as n-e-shopping.com will handle all the payment transactions.

This means that retailers can be up and running on the shopping mall within two days.

The website is the only shopping mall in the region that offers customers a 'one basket one payment facility.

Merchants will be given all the help and support they need to create their own online store on the mall, including help to input the details of the product ranges that they wish to sell. A major benefit of promoting their products via the new mall is the high levels of visitors that the Regional Portal and the site already attracts.

Richard Greene adds: n-e-life.com went that extra mile to make sure everything was working well and the follow up was excellent, with good advice on how to make the most of links to partners sites."

Euroworld, which has been operating for 10years, is also set to expand its online operations into Ireland and Spain soon, by translating its website and embarking on an aggressive online marketing campaign.

In addition, it is in negotiations with the largest driver training organisation in Africa to promote it products to South African organisations, including police authorities and the Armed Forces.

Norma Foster concludes: Richard has some great ideas for expansion into international markets where the Internet will play a key role. As the company grows, he may want to consider further funding, as it is available for almost any IT project, not just web site development. This includes networking, systems integration, software licenses as well as the creation and upgrading of websites."
