BRITNETT KICKS OFF SOARING ONLINE SALES

Barnard Castle-based Britnett Web Services is celebrating the success of another client’s increased online sales as Kingdomsports.co.uk sees sales triple following the launch of its new look website.

The company, which has supplied the armed forces with work and casual wear for over 20-years, has been inundated with orders for their Helmand Hornets rugby T-shirts. A Sky news story featured soldiers in Afghanistan wearing the kit to raise money for the Help for Heroes campaign by taking part in an International tag rugby tournament.
Kingdom Sports approached Britnett in December 2007 to help them create an attractive website that is easy to use, and more importantly thanks to their search engine optimisation software, is easy to find. Since the story appeared the website has received over 100 orders from Afghanistan for Helmand Hornet leisurewear.

Comments Ben Bourne of Kingdom Sports: “We really wanted to make our website more sophisticated and attractive to our customers and wanted to get our brand picked up in internet searches. I had heard of Britnett so got in touch and since working with them, we have been inundated with demand. The website has definitely helped boost our sales internationally as well as nationally, and of course it is helping raise money for the heroes out in Afghanistan. I just hope that we can keep up with the demand!”

Britnett Web Services, which was launched in 1999, offers SMEs access to a range of cost effective web design and search engine optimisation solutions to help drive sales. The company has developed a range of web products, including Britnett BizSub, one of the best search engine optimisation services available on the market and Britnett-Carver, content management software which allows clients to manage and update their own websites.
Concludes Paul Harper, Managing Director of Britnett Web Solutions: “We have a proven track record in helping SME’s like Kingdom Sports drive sales and gather further interest from online sites. We know that in these tough times, businesses are looking for cost effective websites that can really aid the growth of the company, and that is exactly what Britnett provides.”
