Buckman’s originally established its Internet presence in 1998. Although company officials had achieved success with online sales, they were looking for a Search Engine Optimization (SEO) solution that would bring them a greater eCommerce market share.Buckman’s front man on the project was Matt Gahman who is in charge of Internet sales and development.
“We originally approached Media Fusion to act as a consultant for our current web marketing and SEO efforts,” said Gahman. “We quickly realized that with MFT we had found a total eCommerce package, from reliable site hosting to custom shopping cart solutions with built-in SEO.
“We are always looking to take Buckmans.com to the next level of sales and service and are confident that MFT will help take us there! Their team quickly and efficiently migrated our data from our old platform to their platform while giving the site itself a facelift with a new and fresh look. We are excited about the launch of our new site and look forward to the improved shopping experience that we will be able to offer our customers for the 08/09 winter season.”
The eCommerce package to which Gahman refers starts with MFT’s Online Shopping Cart and Automated Reporting (OSCAR) solution. According to MFT’s Beth Tercha – OSCAR lead developer – the OSCAR shopping module is a full-featured, total solution to eCommerce. With OSCAR, Website owners can fully manage their products / services, details, coupons, quantity discount pricing, club pricing, shipping, etc. in addition to providing customer account profile management, searchable database features and all other important considerations for a complete online shopping solution.To meet Buckman’s search engine placement needs,

Also, the new Burton bags are in stock and online just in time for the back-to-school shopping rush.
