WEBWIRE

Internet Retailer, the leading print and online publication featuring e-commerce web sites and technology, has recognized www.ToolKing.com as one of their Hot 100 Retail Web Sites for 2009. Online retailers recognized by Internet Retailer have shown innovation in their e-commerce strategies, and have taken risks with new technologies that have allowed them to prevail as prominent online retailers.

“Being recognized as one of Internet Retailer’s Hot l00 Retail Web Sites is truly an honor. The past few years we have shifted our strategy to embrace innovation and creativity, rather than just being a price-house for customers looking for a bargain,” commented Marketing Director, Ben Skigen.

ToolKing.com has been recognized by Internet Retailer for their innovative search marketing strategies that have allowed them to stand out from their competition as a specialty tool retailer. In 2007, ToolKing.com launched a first of its kind tool blog, Toologics.com. www.Toologics.com features tool reviews, tool news (including product recalls and trade show coverage), a resident expert (“Ask Rick!”) and how-to videos. The videos are available through a dedicated site, ToolKing.tv, as well as at Toologics.com.

“Extending our services beyond our e-commerce web site, ToolKing.com, has been a great success for us thus far. Our customers are finding the articles and videos very informative, as well as adding a degree of entertainment to the tool buying process,” added Skigen.

Internet Retailer has also recognized ToolKing.com for the excellence of their e-commerce sites, including their just recently launched site, Tooliday.com. www.Tooliday.com is a deal-a-day site offering a different tool deal every day, at highly discounted prices.

According to e-commerce consultant, Erin Cisey, “ToolKing.com has a huge inventory and it’s very easily navigable. They’ve done a really good job implementing page-based navigation, which makes it easier to find the information you need. It looks like a construction site – it’s the right look for the people that shop there.”
