Unique Gifts...Unique Websites

At Heritage we get the privilege to work with some amazing companies & organizations.  Over the past year we’ve maintained the Majirani Market website for World Neighbors.  (Yes, you probably have heard a lot about World Neighbors over the past few weeks on the news due to their yearly fundraising gala “A Journey Around the World” and WorldFest.) 

The Majirani Market, is a fair trade store featuring unique gifts, home décor and international food and coffee. Majirani means “neighbor” in Swahili.  (Love the creativity of their website name!)

I know you’ll want to click on the Majirani Market website to see all the amazing items – so go ahead, you can.  The items sold on the site are one of a kind, but what makes the items awesome is knowing where the items come from, and knowing your purchase is supporting something greater.   World Neighbors focuses on training and educating communities to find lasting solutions to the challenges they face – hunger, poverty and disease – rather than giving them food, money or constructing buildings.  World Neighbors invests in local leadership and organizations that continue and expand program activities after they end their support. The average time World Neighbors stays in a community is eight to 10 years. The goal is to achieve long-lasting improvements in people’s lives and the community, not quick fixes that depend on outside assistance.

Currently, around 500,000 people benefit from World Neighbors program work in 11 countries in Asia, Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean.

Each website we create at Heritage is unique and offers different functions and capabilities that fit the customers' needs! Speaking of unique....next time you’re looking for a unique gift idea check out the Majirani Market and see what they have to offer.

Love is in the Air

As part of our partnership with Integris, we have the amazing opportunity to work on special projects for them throughout the year.   For the third year in a row we’ve had the pleasure of working with the employees at Integris Comprehensive Breast Care Center to help design, promote and sell shirts for breast cancer awareness.  A donation from each shirt sold is made to the Susan G. Komen Foundation. 

Each year the program has gained popularity, and this year was tremendous!  The shirts were pre-sold to Integris employees via the iWear website that Heritage manages on behalf of the hospital.  Sales increased by over 40% this year and nearly 2,500 shirts were sold which proves they sure do LOVE these shirts (and LOVE helping a good cause!)!

Heritage worked alongside the Breast Care Center staff and set up an employee distribution area at their two larger locations.  Several hundred additional shirts were sold during the two distributions.  We would have taken pictures of the crowds of people lining up to buy the extra shirts but we were too busy!  Additional shirts will be sold at the Integris Breast Care Centers and will be available to the public.  To say the shirts were a hit, would be an understatement!  They love, love, love these shirts - and we love, love, love Integris!

Online Virtual Mini-Catalog

We’ve told you before that we manage the warehousing & fulfillment for ecommerce websites, like the OU Alumni Store for instance, but even though we’ve told you that it’s inevitable that someone will say “You manage websites? I didn’t know you did that!” Well, we do. Promise. (If you don’t believe us you should come hang out some day and take a tour of our warehouse, it’s pretty amazing complete with giant tater-tots. HA, now you want to come out just to see what I mean by giant tater-tots! Well, you’re just gonna have to come out and see for yourself!)

As we roll out new merchandise on our websites we like to try to find new ways to get the word out about what we’ve got! We do things like eblasts, direct mail, fliers, online advertising, and facebook advertising…. pretty much anything we can do to notify people of the specials and new merchandise on our sites.

Last week this bad boy was emailed out to 90,000 OU alums & their closest friends!

It’s working well…
