Weis Markets Moves to Grocery 2.0
Weis Joins MyWebGrocer's Ad Network and Launches Interactive Circular
Colchester, VT (Vocus/PRWEB ) December 1, 2008 -- Weis Markets has launched MyWebGrocer's nationwide advertising network along with the recipe, circular and shopping list capabilities. This change moves Weis from their current "static circular" to an efficient interactive circular that fully integrates advertising, shopping lists and recipes into a seamless tool for consumers. This functionality will also fully integrate with Weis' ecommerce offering. Shoppers will be able to browse the weekly circular online and buy the products directly via online shopping.
The most popular destination on a retailer's website is the weekly circular. The online circular should be an intuitive, functional experience that facilitates both in-store shopping as well the ecommerce experience for the consumer. Viewing a static ad online does not engage customers or give them opportunities to utilize the displayed specials. MyWebGrocer's integrated tools dramatically enhance the consumer's value by providing them with a start to finish tool set.
"This is a huge step forward for Weis' online channel. Adding functionality that is fully integrated across both ecommerce and the traditional in-store shopping tools is very beneficial to the consumer," notes Curt Alpeter, Sr. Vice President of Sales for MyWebGrocer. "In the ever more competitive online space, advancements like these are critical."
"Our addition of ecommerce services in Pennsylvania's Lehigh Valley earlier this year has proven to be successful for us. Adding interactive tools to our online channel is a logical next step. They will not only bring more value to our ecommerce initiative, but will also add critical tools for the bulk of our customers who use our web site to help them plan their in-store shopping trips," said Michael Zettlemoyer, Director Merchandising Technologies at Weis.
