It's been an interesting 2 weeks with the well known appointment of Administrators and Receivers to Clive Peeters. We've been working very closely with the online team for almost 2 years to launch their online store in September last year. Regardless of the current situation, the online side of the business is where we've had great impact and yesterday it was announced that www.clivepeeters.com.au is a finalist in 3 categories of the Online Retail Industry Awards (ORIA).
The categories it's finalist in are:
Best Multichannel Retailer
Best new Online Retailer
Best Customer Experience
What's even better is that White Labelled has been nominated as for the Industry Recognition Award - and thats for the hard work all the WhiteLabelled team have put into Clive Peeters and certainly all our other Online Retailing clients.... stay tuned for some announcements on our recent wins and new sites to be launched.
We can confirm that it is business as usual for their online store and White Labelled are supporting them through the process with a view to continue the great online success to date..... so go to www.clivepeeters.com.au you might just find a bargain :)

We've now settled into our new offices here in South Yarra. After spending the first few months of the year as squatters in the windy Docklands Precinct, it has been a fresh and preferred change to move to the sunny suburb.
Located just next to the South Yarra train station, our new office is in a brand new building which has given us plenty of space and inspiration to keep on building our business and service our clients.
Recently in South Africa it was found out that the latest ways aren't always the greatest ways. An IT worker who was frustrated with the speed (or lack thereof) of the nations biggest broadband company, Telcom, sent a data-card on a 80km strapped to the leg of a pigeon, he simultaneously tried transferring the data over the internet to the same location. The pigeons journey and extraction from the data card took just over 2 hours. In the meantime, the internet transfer had completed a whole 4%, adding a whole new meaning to "giving someone the bird"
