"What does it for me when it comes to Thrive is their dedication to detail. Thrive takes the time to really listen to what I want and need and then make sure that they produce exactly what i asked for. I really appreciate their customer service, Michael and the team isn't perfect but when they make a mistake their team jumps on it to make sure any problems are resolved in a timely fashion. If you need an web-application built that works, I recommend Thrive!"

E Commerce E-mail

E Commerce has gotten a strange reputation as a vast departure from a "Typical" website (most commonly meaning a Brochure Site). The truth is the best and most successful E Commerce happens when an established business moves, even slightly, to allowing customers to order or pay online. Some great examples are when a service company, HVAC for instance, adds a form to their website to request a service call or quote; or when a Large Ticket Retailer, think Furniture Store, builds in a payment form on their site to take finance payments online.

The commonality between these E Commerce methods that make them worthwhile is not convenience offered to the customer, or efficiency added to the business; the commonality is that it removes a step in the process from "visitor" to "customer."

In the first example, the customer doesn't have to call to schedule anything. In the second example, the payee need not interrupt their daily flow to make that quick payment. So make the jump to E Commerce, just think of a way to remove a barrier between you and your customer.

Some Ideas ...

Restaurant Online Ordering System

Imagine the benefit of having a 24 hour order taker for your carryout restaurant. Thrive's systems integrates with any Point of Sales system, whether you use paper tickets or software from Thrive or another vendor.

Why?

The benefits are obvious. To start with having a website for your restaurant is a major advertising boost. Potential customers no longer need to pick up a paper menu, you can lower your print budget, you can feature what you want as often as you have to add it. Beyond a standard "marketing only" website, having the ability to place you order directly from the web lowers your overhead by eliminating an "order-taker" position, reduces the dependence on multiple telephone lines and expands the number of customers that can be served at any given time. This is especially great for a business lunch spot. Imagine the convince you give your customers by letting them order from their desk, at any time.

How?

The process is simple. A customer visits your site, and browses the menu. Then selects the items they want, customized the way you allow in-store. After their order is complete, they pay, and the order is delivered to you.The system gives the customer a visual of their order, so they don't need to take up valuable employee time by asking about the menu. You don't have to print multitudes of To-Go materials, that get old and out of date. It's a win/win; your customer has a better ordering experience, you lower the cost of each order.
