Selling Web Hosting and Design at Retail

Web Hosting Stores?

How would you like to drive down town and pick up a web hosting account?

The web host Slamdot hopes you’d very much like the idea of doing that.  They announced they will begin selling professionally designed web site packages very soon through a retail store.  The first store will be open in Knoxville, Tennesee offering web site design packages, support,  and in-store training.

Other specialty stores like this, such as the Apple stores across the nation have done very well because they not only give a local and familiar face to the product, but they also create a different sense of community that you can not give online. Dropping an e-mail to a support team is very different than walking into a store and asking for help.

This is the type of new, innovative, out-of-the-box idea I really like to see, and I wish them the best of luck.

    This is getting a bit a lot more subjective, but I a lot prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like ‘Mixview’ that let you swiftly see related albums, songs, or other users associated to what you’re listening to. Clicking on 1 of those will center on that item, and another set of “neighbors” will appear into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune “Social” can be fantastic fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist produced based on an amalgamation of what all your close friends are listening to, which can be enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will probably be relieved to understand it is possible to prevent the public from seeing your individual listening habits in case you so select.

    Quite interesting Feature. For me you usually obtain whatever you pay money for. High priced products or perhaps services more than often turn out to be far more reputable, come in more beneficial quality of components and customer support and they are usually worth the money. Keep in mind that isn’t a rule. I think I go for the very best in luxury goods and services.
