Top in Web sales this month, Complete Office makes more than 1.5 million a month in Web sales from eighteen hundred user accounts in and around Seattle, San Diego, and new offices opening soon. They’ve added hundreds of custom items, and employ only four admin users. Says President Dave Patterson, “We started seven years ago, selling online from the start. About 65% of our sales is on the Web. It’s not a question of whether customers will shop online. They demand it, as well as sustainable initiatives for going green. It’s the way they do business.”
ECinteractive search is faster than ever, and friendlier with Enhanced Content. Both major wholesalers, S.P. Richards and United Stationers, provide the delightful shopping search experience they expect online. When your shoppers enter an office product, they can pick from several product-specific filters such as brand, ink color, material, weight, and so on. They can select items to compare together by key features. And they’ll be presented with accessories and similar products to up-sell and cross-sell each purchase.
There are several reasons why ECinteractive beats Dealer Station. Guests can check out and view order history with only their email address and credit card. Self-registration options can automatically create a new accounts in both the Web and your business system. It entices shy visitors to buy from you online, and saves time in attracting and creating new accounts.

Here’s another example of another consistently successful dealer. Sun Office Products in Aurora, Colorado, makes $500,000 in Web sales every month from ten thousand user accounts nationwide. Robert Marchetti (sounds like Market-ee) is director of information systems at Sun Office. He says, “I feel fantastic about it. The redesigned Customer Admin page has made business easier. From start to finish, it leads you through. That’s especially helpful since our salespeople set up all our customers. The ability to customize content on our own has saved us a lot of time, with a quicker turnaround to add new business partners outside our wholesalers.”
