Clearly not satisfied with their ecommerce site being voted a mere 2nd best in the electrical industry by readers of Which? magazine earlier in 2010, electrical independent Hughes has just launched what it calls a more user-centric site.
The new site, hughesdirect.co.uk, offers customers a whole number of new and convenient benefits including the option to ‘Click and Collect’ in their local store
rather than wait, and wait in, for delivery.
Those that choose to have their order delivered can request their preferred delivery time on the site. Just in time for Christmas, the last delivery before the festive break will be on 17th December for goods that require 2-man delivery, and the 20th December for customers ordering those smaller items like kettles and toasters. Another handy feature of the new site enables shoppers to select and easily compare different products they are interested in side by side.
As Simon Cox, General Manager at HughesDirect explained, “we recognise that customers have a choice, these days many more choices than ever before, so when a visitor lands on our site we need to ensure we have done everything to help them to make their decisions and to buy through HughesDirect.”
“We are always looking to enhance the user experience on the site and are confident that the newly-launched site pushes our offering ahead yet again.“
Hughes Electrical Stores are now the country’s 4th largest specialist electrical retailer and 2nd largest renter of home entertainment and kitchen appliances.
