5th Food Group

February 16, 2012 by sharon rogers

Specialty Food Only

5th Food Groupworks exclusively with specialty food companies who want to grow their mail order, catalog and internet business. We know the food industry, and we understand you have two different mail order businesses: one that’s somewhat even January to October, and one that explodes in November and December. They share the same name and address, but they operate very differently and need two different marketing approaches. We’re experts in creating marketing plans that conserve cash in the lean months and take advantage of every opportunity for growth during the all-important holiday season.

Growth Experts

Whether you want your growth slow & measured or rapid & expansive, we can develop marketing plan that meets your needs. We specialize in tough cases and helping smaller companies get bigger: we have helped dozens of clients turn floundering programs into solid money makers.

5th Food Group Saves You Time

We keep on top of the best marketing practices so you don’t have to. We constantly research and test the latest tools and techniques, then present them to you so you can understand the risks and rewards. We custom build your marketing plan from scratch around the sales level and profit you want. And we’ll implement that plan, making sure everything happens on time and in budget.

Work, Not Just Advice

A lot of consultants tell you “We’ll be part of your management team.” We’re sure there are many that make good on that promise, but over and over we hear the opposite: “consultants tell me what I should do, but don’t help me do it.” As an entrepreneur you probably don’t need more advice. Your managers, your staff, even your dishwashers have advice. What you need is someone who gets things done. We create and implement your marketing program, making sure things get done on time and within budget.

Specialty Food Experts 5th Food Group recommend CV3

Many of 5th Food Groups clients use CommerceV3. You’ll get the best of both worlds, 5th Food’s team has years of experience in both Speciality Food, and in CommerceV3. So they can recommend what to do with your web marketing, and they can also roll up their sleeves and work on your CV3 web store for you.

Our Track Record

Specialty Foods is one of CV3′s primary focuses. We work with dozens of Specialty Foods and Gourmet Foods companies. 5th Food Group works with many of those same merchants and frequently recommends CommerceV3.

5th Food Group has the expertise to help you grow your Specialty Food business and CommerceV3 gives you the tools to do just that. Our marketing, tracking, and reporting features will help bring new customers to your site and keep them coming back. An easy to use administration area will allow most anyone to maintain the website while allowing full access to html code to give you your own custom website. When choosing an e-commerce solution to leverage the knowledge of 5th Food Group, make sure you choose one that not only understands Specialty Foods but cares about your business. The clear choice is CommerceV3.

CommerceV3 Welcomes Multichannel Merchant’s Tim Parry to 2012 CV3 User Conference in Orlando, FL

February 14, 2012 by sharon rogers

CommerceV3 proudly announces that Tim Parry, senior content manager for Multichannel Merchant, will give a much-anticipated talk about maximizing a multichannel approach to eCommerce at the CV3 User Conference on March 20 in the Hilton Orlando, FL.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Feb 14, 2012 -
(SAVANNAH, GA and PENSACOLA, FL)  CommerceV3 (CV3) is pleased to announce that Tim Parry, senior content manager for Multichannel Merchant, will give a much-anticipated talk about maximizing a multichannel approach to eCommerce at its annual CV3 User Conference in Orlando, FL, on Tuesday, March 20, 2012, at 1:30pm in the Hilton Orlando.

Entitled “Going Cross-Channel in a Multichannel World,” Mr. Parry’s session will address why direct merchants need to embrace cross-channel marketing, and how retailers can connect those channels to provide a seamless customer experience.  Mr. Parry will discuss several real-world examples of leading merchants who have synchronized multiple channels–such as email, print, social, mobile and eCommerce–and why, as a result, they are winning the game as cross-channel merchants.

Tim Parry joined Multichannel Merchant as senior writer in January 2006, and was promoted to his current position in November 2011. He is responsible for the day-to-day operations of the magazine, MultichannelMerchant.com, and the i-merchant, O+F Advisor and MCM Weekly e-newsletters, and oversees Multichannel Merchant’s social media efforts. Mr. Parry has spoken at several industry events and has also appeared on FOX Business News.

Blake Ellis, Founding Partner and CEO of CommerceV3, adds, “Tim Parry is a great addition to our roster of CV3 User Conference speakers this year.  We’re excited to have him with us, and we’re looking forward to taking in what promises to be a fascinating–and informative–session!”

CommerceV3 has processed close to one billion dollars in sales and is one of the few e-commerce platforms that appeals to merchants both large and small.  A hosted e-commerce platform with serious power for serious merchants, CV3 is secure, reliable, scalable and customizable.  With no transaction or bandwidth fees and unlimited sku counts, you have the freedom to take your online storefront to new heights.  Timberline Interactive, a resource for multi-channel merchants to grow traffic and orders, streamline order processing and otherwise get the most out of life, is part of the CV3 family of companies.

CommerceV3 (CV3) proudly announces partnership with e-commerce site John & Kira’s

February 1, 2012 by sharon rogers
CommerceV3 (CV3) is proud to announce their partnership with specialty food e-commerce site John & Kira’s, a socially innovative chocolate company dedicated to both making and selling world class confections and promoting positive social change.

 

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Feb 01, 2012 -
(SAVANNAH, GA and PHILADELPHIA, PA) CommerceV3 (CV3) is proud to announce their partnership with e-commerce site John & Kira’s, a socially innovative chocolate company dedicated to both making and selling world class confections and promoting positive social change.A CommerceV3 client since 2010, John & Kira’s was introduced to CV3 by Tony Cox of 5th Food Group, who works with direct-to-customer food brands and has several clients on the CV3 platform.  John Doyle, co-owner of John & Kira’s, says right away they saw results: “Our search engine optimization (SEO) instantly improved: CV3 probably doubled the number of people coming to the site through organic searches.

John & Kira’s, a gift company that also works for the common good, values CV3’s ability to help tell their story and promote their non-profit partners.  For instance, Doyle says, “CV3’s donation module allows customers to give to our urban garden program, which supplies mint for Mighty Mint chocolate bars.  Also, on our old software videos had to go through a mirror site; with CV3 we can directly integrate multimedia about us and our partners.  CV3’s design flexibility allows us to add features and customize individual HTML pages, helping us effectively support causes we care about.”

The biggest upside since the move to CommerceV3?  “We’re primarily focused on resolving people’s gift-giving needs through chocolate,” Doyle says, “and the CV3 cart allows you to split multiple gifts out to multiple addresses within the same shopping cart experience.  That one change has increased our total order value dramatically–up to 17 or 18 percent.”

As a purely online retail operation based in Philadelphia, PA, John & Kira’s also values CommerceV3’s design flexibility.  “While our old site was primarily template driven,” Doyle says, “CV3 offers much more flexibility in the site’s appearance.  That’s important to us; ten years ago people put tons of time into their store’s glass window; our site is our glass window.”

Many of the thousands of CV3 feature options have found their way into John & Kira’s website.  “Whether it’s free shipping for orders above $40,” Doyle explains, “or ‘buy two, get the third item free,’ CV3 has myriad ways to incentivize folks to order, or reward them for ordering–both crucial to direct-to-customer catalog companies.  Many shopping carts don’t even offer that functionality.”

Doyle also likes the deep integration with Google analytics, “which we didn’t have on our old site, believe it or not!” he admits.  “Now we put a lot of time into watching how customers shop, optimizing our CV3 site and making it streamlined and easy to use.  And the proof is in the pudding: our customers are very happy with our site.”

Blake Ellis, CommerceV3’s Founding Partner and CEO, adds, “Sometimes merchants tell me CV3 has so many options they’re not sure where to start, but all those features are there for a reason. Merchants like John & Kira’s, who invest the time in utilizing them, will see results.”

CommerceV3 has processed over one billion dollars in sales and is one of the few e-commerce platforms that appeals to merchants both large and small.  A hosted e-commerce platform with serious power for serious merchants, CV3 is PCI DSS Level 1 certified, secure, reliable, scalable and customizable.  With no transaction or bandwidth fees and unlimited sku counts, you have the freedom to take your online storefront to new heights.

Wondering if you should venture into mobile e-commerce?

November 22, 2011 by sharon rogers

Tahoe Mountain Sports did, and with CV3’s help, they haven’t looked back!

We are proud to announce the recent launch of a new mobile e-commerce site for Tahoe Mountain Sports (TMS), an e-commerce operation from its founding in 2004.  TMS sells top industry brands of quality outdoor gear, clothing and footwear, both online and in its store in Lake Tahoe, California.

A CommerceV3 partner since 2009, Tahoe Mountain Sports decided to move into the fast-growing mobile segment of the market in 2010.  TMS owner David Polivy says the decision went through several stages.

“About a year ago our Google analytics started to show a huge spike in mobile visitors from iPhones, tablets and Android phones,” Polivy reports.  “There was a lot of industry talk about mobile commerce, and we decided to get involved.  The next phase became how to implement it at TMS, which led to the question: do we go with a third-party provider?  Or do we work with our existing shopping cart partner [CV3], who could hopefully provide a seamless experience between our regular website and the new mobile site?  That question was front and center in a lot of e-commerce conversations.”

How did Tahoe Mountain Sports decide to go with CV3 Mobile?  “We wanted a seamless experience,” Polivy says.  “The same navigation, the same imagery, and most importantly, the same promotional codes, shipping and payment methods.  We wanted the customer to be able to shop on a desktop computer or on a mobile phone and not wind up in some third-party Netherland where options were more limited.  That became the crux of our commitment to go with CV3–to ensure a seamless move from mobile to desktop, plus the ability to use the same tools on both sites.”

Results have already been impressive in the few weeks since launch.  TMS has seen a significant increase in conversion rates from mobile devices.   And, Polivy adds, the fact that 13 percent of their traffic comes from mobile devices helped TMS hold strong to their commitment to mobile, and to launch as soon as possible.

“Mobile’s been increasing at a faster rate than traffic from anywhere else,” he says.  “Though we haven’t created specific promotions for mobile yet, we’ll start doing that soon.  Also, we want to enable our physical customers to access store information, such as where to find us, what we have in stock, etc., before having to make the trip over here.  That will save them gas and hassles.”

Should smaller e-commerce companies take the risk of implementing mobile?  Polivy thinks so.  “While we’re not an Internet 500 or multi-million dollar retailer,” he admits, “for our size, we’re keeping up with both the tech world and what the consumer is doing.  If 30 percent of people get email on their phones these days, checking messages and clicking links, then we want to be there, making it easy for them to navigate our site, find products and purchase them in a quick, no-hassle, manner.”

Finally, Polivy feels that if other CV3 users or prospective customers are curious about what mobile can do for their e-commerce business, they owe it to themselves to talk with the CV3 staff.  “We were early adopters–guinea pigs, if you will–so CV3 mobile implementation is now much easier.  And if more CV3 users enable their sites for mobile, that will make the CV3 network even stronger.  We hope we can serve as example of what’s possible for CV3 mobile sites.”

Blake Ellis, CV3’s Founding Partner & Chief Executive Officer, adds, “The team at Tahoe Mountain Sports is great to work with because they’ve really thought mobile out.  They know their customers, they watch analytics and they don’t cut corners.  They’re not afraid to do the work to get it right, and it was a great pleasure to help them launch this important new facet of their business.”
