Faced with the desire to provide a more professional experience for consignors, provide a more user-friendly and fun experience for customers and to modernize the look and feel of the previous Show Me Again website, Wendy Habighorst has launched a brand new website and it is by far one of the most user-friendly, yet sophisticated sites we have seen.
The previous Show Me Again website was state-of-the-art in 2004 when it was launched, but technology has vastly improved since then and Habighorst recognized there was a need for a complete makeover.
“While it has been on my mind to overhaul the website since taking ownership,” says Habighorst, “the overwhelming growth of the business, particularly in the past year, made me realize we could not progress without change. While everyone loved the old website, I could see many improvements needed to be implemented.”
The new website includes these improved features:
For the buyer:
- Detailed Descriptions, Extensive, easy to read measurements and better photos
- Extensive Search options to narrow fields and find exactly what you are looking for
- Favorites page to save items for later viewing
For the seller:
- Online inventory system for consignors, so they may log-in to check the status of their consignments anytime
Additional behind-the-scenes improvements such as state of the art software to automate rigorous business operations will allow Habighorst to spend more time with her customers which is her favorite part of owning this business.
“The consignment process is a vicious cycle and the manual processes were cumbersome and time consuming. The new system allows us to process consignments more efficiently while providing a fun and easy experience for customers. The time-saving features allow me to spend more time with customers and less time bookkeeping.”
Show Me Again’s growth can be attributed in part to the quality people Habighorst has surrounded herself with. “It is truly humbling and I thoroughly enjoy my work; it’s not a part-time job for me. I’m quick to credit my family, which is incredibly supportive, Jessica Brosius, an amazing friend and assistant who does everything from emergency babysitting to writing descriptions, and East Coast sales representative Brittany Blankenship have all contributed to the growth and popularity of the business.”
