Netishop Announces New Shopping Engine Capabilities -- a Shopping Engine with a Wide Selection, it has Made Major Advances in its Services

Online comparison shopping website, NetiShop, established by Liccy Fuentes, recently implemented a series of features to its search functions, which gives site visitors more charge over the way of searching for products in a user-friendly design. These upgrades were made by their small but skilled team of programmers to make your browsing experience enjoyable and simple.

The selection of products represented on the Netishop website make it easy to jump from one search to another. If you are searching for a heavy duty air compressor for a roofing job, then suddenly, you realize you need to buy new boots, you can just click the appropriate category and voila! You can purchase the boots you need and return to the air compressors for final review and purchase.

Other great features of the website are its abilities to filter your results by price, brand, and store, as well as being able to sort by different factors like relevancy, shopping price range, and highest rated and most popular product. When you search for a product of any type, Netishop sends out signals all over the web to find the perfect prices and values on that product and presents them to you side by side on the website so that you can select which product is the right one for you. Top brands from around the world are included in the search results so you see the best offerings in that product line.

Onlineshoes.com Knows a Good Fit When They See It

Onlineshoes.com (http://www.onlineshoes.com/) is excited to announce two major moves, both of which signify confidence in the marketplace and ready the company for future growth.

Since September 2005, corporate headquarters has occupied the seventh floor of downtown Seattle's Metropolitan Park East Tower (1730 Minor Avenue). To kick off the third quarter of 2010 in grand fashion, Onlineshoes.com took out an additional lease to expand to the building's entire second floor. Simultaneously, the company shifted its warehouse operations from Mukilteo, Washington to the Columbus women's coats , Ohio distribution center of the highly respected Network Global Logistics (NGL), based in Broomfield, Colorado.

The Customer Service and Photography departments previously sited in Mukilteo have relocated to Minor Avenue. Onlineshoes.com now occupies nearly 37,000 square feet of prime real estate in downtown Seattle.

Since being established as the first company to sell shoes on the internet in 1996, Onlineshoes.com has enjoyed a history of steady growth, weathering economic challenges that have shuttered many businesses.

Still a privately held company, Onlineshoes.com saw its inception in a 10' x 10' room at the back of the North Seattle shoe store opened in 1968 by company founder Daniel Gerler's father. Initially, five brands of footwear were represented, including New Balance and Saucony, which remain popular sellers on the site to this day. Over 250 brands of shoes, clothing and accessories are featured at Onlineshoes.com, and 10 additional brands will be launched before the end of the year.

Onlineshoes.com prides itself on being focused on customer satisfaction, for which it consistently receives the highest marks: It was recently named a winner in the 11th annual Bizrate Circle of Excellence Awards, an honor recognizing a select group of online retailers that provide outstanding customer experiences as rated by their own customers.

In March 2010, online customer service experts STELLAService released the results of the independent survey assessing the value consumers place on excellent customer service. Examined were the largest 150 e-commerce sites and Onlineshoes.com ranked 13th, along with such heavy-hitters as Amazon.com, Netflix.com, Apple.com and Crutchfield.com, all highly regarded for their customer service.

"Seattle is home to us, but our customers live all over the country. By moving warehouse operations to Ohio, we're providing the highest population concentration with significantly faster delivery," says Gerler. "What's more, it's been a terrific boost to our own sense of community to have the entire Onlineshoes.com family, now more than 170 employees strong, under the same roof for the first time in the company's history."

The additional space was logistically designed to accommodate the company's near-term growth. Continues Gerler, "We're a successful internet company in one of the most vibrant high-tech sectors in the country. Firmly planted as we are in downtown Seattle, Onlineshoes.com looks forward to further capitalizing on the area's pool of talent and providing many local jobs in the future."

About Onlineshoes.com: Established in 1996, Onlineshoes.com is the nation's first online shoe retailer. With a history that began decades ago in a family-owned corner shoe store, the company is committed to delivering exceptional value and service. Onlineshoes.com offers the latest high-quality footwear for men, women and kids with more than 240,000 shoe and clothing choices from more than 250 name brands, as well as a wide selection of bags and accessories.

Icebreaker Picks Adgregate Markets to Sell Eco-Friendly Merino Wool Apparel to its Flock on Facebook

Today Adgregate Markets, the leader in secure social commerce solutions, announced that Icebreaker, the New Zealand company that pioneered the merino wool adventure apparel category, has selected Adgregate Markets' ShopFans? application to enable secure shopping through its Facebook page. Icebreaker selected ShopFans to create a custom ShopFans Facebook "store" which will showcase Icebreaker's eco-friendly product categories and enable customers to initiate purchases within the social network, without compromising security and privacy. The company is the first adventure apparel retailer to open a Facebook store.

Icebreaker natural merino is grown in New Zealand's Southern Alps high country. Merino is nature's finest performance fiber, lightweight with great temperature regulation; it offers breathability and, unlike synthetics, no stink. Icebreaker offers a unique layering system, including underwear, mid layer garments and outerwear. There are outdoor, technical and lifestyle categories, each with its own specific fabrics and design details.

We're excited to turn those passionate conversations into conversions for Icebreaker."

ShopFans is the preferred Facebook social commerce solution for more Top 500 Internet Retailer clients than any other solution provider. Unlike existing social commerce solutions offered in Facebook, ShopFans has won the public endorsements from both security and privacy heavyweights, McAfee, VeriSign and TRUSTe, to protect brands' reputations and pave the way for consumers to buy confidently within Facebook.

As a special ShopFans launch promotion, Icebreaker will run a sweepstakes for a $500 gift card redeemable through their new women's jackets Facebook store.

ShopRDR.com Favorite Escada Considering Purchase Of St. John Knits

Rodeo Drive Resale, premier reseller of 100% authentic discount St. John Knits, Escada, Louis Vuitton handbags and other designer fashions, explores the possible merger between fashion favorite St. John Knits and Escada — the German luxury label that had owned it nearly 20 years ago.

According to a story published by the New York Post on October 5, 2012, Megha Mittal —daughter-in-law of Indian billionaire Lakshmi Mittal, who rescued Escada from bankruptcy in 2009 — flew to California to meet with execs at Irvine, Calif.-based St. John.

"It's an iconic brand that has a ton of untapped potential," remarked one financial source.
St. John, notable for its power suits, has seen several changes in staff, and clothing style over the past several years. As it struggles to find relevance in a slightly younger demographic, its newer clothing designs have been met with mixed reviews by brand loyalists.

On October 10, 2012, the popular high-end fashion label launched a national campaign to promote its Gold Standard Collection, which offers a modern take on a few classic pieces. Throughout the month of October, boutiques in San Francisco, Houston, Las Vegas and Maui will be showcasing the limited edition pieces as part of an event dubbed the "American Icon Celebration."

"We're a brand on the move," St. John Knits chief executive officer Glenn McMahon told WWD during a 2011 interview. According to McMahon, a younger St. John is not after the buyers in the 20s, but those a decade or two younger than their current clients. "We really believe that our future success will be in our ability to capture the daughters of our current customer."

The delicate balancing act of retaining St. John loyalists while grabbing the attention of a new generation of shoppers remains important, as Raya was careful to note that RDR will still dedicate an impressive portion of their online St. John collection toward lovers of the original St. John Knit, offering huge discounts on pre-owned items which include blouses, jackets, skirts and more.

Although the future of St. John Knits is uncertain, earlier this year shopRDR.com co-founder Raya Jaffer reminded customers that shoRDR.com is the world's largest reseller of St. John Knits, and offers amazing deals on several of the brand's most beloved lines.

"Women who fell in love with the original St. John can still find past coveted collections at shopRDR.com. On our site, you will also find a well edited selection of newer styles up to 75% off retail," Raya Jaffer, co-founder of shopRDR.com said earlier this year.

Rodeo Drive Resale (shopRDR.com) has built a reputation of providing amazing deals on handbags, clothing and accessories from the top designers of upscale fashion. The company offers a 100% guarantee of authenticity on each item sold, and works daily with a network of clients looking to buy, sell, or for consignment of their luxury goods.

Labiaplasty May Be Covered by Insurance, Notes Chicago-area Plastic Surgeon Allan Parungao, MD

New statistics from the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery reveal a 100.7% increase in the number of vaginal rejuvenation procedures performed on American women from 2008 to 2009. One of the most popular of these procedures is labiaplasty.

"For women who suffer from large or uneven labia minora--a condition known as labial hypertrophy--labiaplasty can give the inner vaginal lips a more trim, youthful look," says board-certified plastic surgeon Allan Parungao, MD, FACS.

"Labiaplasty reduces and/or balances the size of the inner lips of the vulva, or external female genitals," explains Dr. Parungao, author of A Woman's Guide to Cosmetic Breast Surgery and Body Contouring. "After labiaplasty, the labia minora no longer protrude outside the outer vaginal lips.

"Like any plastic surgery, labiaplasty may be covered by health insurance when it is deemed medically necessary--not simply cosmetic surgery," says Dr. Parungao. "Of course, whether a patient's labiaplasty procedure is covered by insurance also depends on the terms of her policy.

"Labial hypertrophy is considered a medical problem when it causes recurrent infections and irritation," he explains. In cases like this, Dr. Parungao's office writes letters and submits documentation to the patient's insurer--and often gets the procedure approved for coverage.

This was the case with "Jennifer," a 30-year-old newlywed from New Jersey who recently traveled to Chicago for labiaplasty. Like thousands of women with large or uneven labia, Jennifer had been silently enduring:

• Painful sex and embarrassment in intimate relationships
• Persistent moisture, chafing, irritation and recurrent infections
• Embarrassment and discomfort when wearing a bathing suit or tight-fitting jeans

"When I hit my early 20s, I was having a lot of medical conditions such as recurring yeast infections," Jennifer recalls. "I went to see loads of doctors and no one really had an answer for me.

"I'd always been uncomfortable in my clothing--irritated constantly," she adds. "I couldn't even wear certain underwear. But when it started taking a toll on my marriage, I said, 'Let me see if other women are doing something to take care of this.'"

"Some women first find out about labiaplasty when they stumble upon it on the Internet," notes Dr. Parungao--and this was true with Jennifer.

"I started looking things up online to see if there was a procedure and I found the medical term for it," Jennifer recalls. "All the reasons women were giving for labiaplasty were my reasons.

"I sent Dr. P a heartfelt letter explaining everything I was going through," she says. "I was having sexual trouble at home--I wouldn't even let my husband touch me. I would freak out if he walked in on me when I was in the shower.

"Dr. P wrote back right away and said, 'Send me a couple of pictures and I'll review them,'" Jennifer recalls.

"I never felt comfortable talking to anybody about this problem--not even my mom--until recently, when I told her I was trying to go for labiaplasty," Jennifer admits. "When she took the pictures for me, she said, 'I understand Tips: Find Street Fashion Online(may be you can find what you want on the oasap.com) . You must be really uncomfortable.' And I was--physically and emotionally.

"After I sent Dr. Parungao my pictures, he said I had a very strong case," Jennifer recalls. "He submitted the paperwork to my insurance company. It took a lot of going back and forth, but they did cover it."

Jennifer and her husband traveled from New Jersey to Chicago on a Monday. She had a consultation on Tuesday, surgery on Wednesday, a follow-up visit on Thursday--and went home to New Jersey later that day.

"Now I'm so comfortable in my jeans!" says Jennifer. "Things feel so much better--and it looks cute now," she adds. "It feels like what it always should have felt like."
