			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="attachment_214" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 210px"><a href="http://www.mensunderweardiscounters.com/"><img class="size-full wp-image-214" title="mensunderweardiscounters" src="http://blog.skiviez.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/mensunderweardiscounters.png" alt="Mens Underwear Discounters Web Site" width="200" height="155" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Mens Underwear Discounters Web Site</p></div>

<p>Skiviez has opened a new Web site: <a title="Mens Underwear Discounters" href="http://www.mensunderweardiscounters.com/" target="_blank">men&#8217;s underwear discounters</a>. This new Web site has been over a year in the planning and development stage and is now open just in time for the holidays. This Web site features discontinued merchandise from top brands at 25 to 75% off retail.</p>

<p>As Robert Clark, the president and CEO of Skiviez, Inc. explains, &#8220;&#8230; a shift in demand was starting to emerge last year during the economic downturn. This has led to certain customers who are strictly looking for the best deal in fashion and don&#8217;t mind buying styles from a season or two ago if they can save big. This is why we opened this new Web site to put all of the best deals in one place.&#8221;</p>

<p>The new Web site also represents the start of Skiviez&#8217;s transition to a custom-developed fulfillment platform that enables the company to fulfill orders for its multiple e-commerce stores via a single consistent interface, enabling Skiviez&#8217;s renowned same-day shipping and great customer service to be efficiently extended to Men&#8217;s Underwear Discounters and other forthcoming stores.</p>

<p>This new Web site features products that have been listed on the Skiviez Web site and will soon feature special buys from leading brand names who are looking to clear out their warehouses. Just remember that all deals featured on the Men&#8217;s Underwear Discounters Web site are available only for a short time as these are discontinued styles and are no longer being manufactured.</p>

<p>Check out <a title="Mens Underwear Discounters " href="http://www.mensunderweardiscounters.com/" target="_blank">www.mensunderweardiscounters.com</a> to see more!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We&#8217;ve just dusted off a <a href="http://www.skiviez.com/Search/Index.underwear">new search feature</a> for our Web site that improves upon the old search mechanism in several ways.</p>

<h3>Search As-You-Type</h3>

<p><a href="http://blog.skiviez.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/search-as-you-type.png"><img src="http://blog.skiviez.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/search-as-you-type.png" alt="search-as-you-type" title="search-as-you-type" width="275" height="382" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-123" /></a></p>

<p>The first improvement is that the search box in the upper right corner of every page will now dynamically suggest search results from a variety of sources. Type in &#8220;privacy&#8221; and a link to our privacy statement will appear. Type in &#8220;optic&#8221; and you&#8217;ll see a link to browse the entire 2xist Optic line. To visit the product or item, just click on an element in the dropdown menu with your mouse.</p>

<div style="clear: right;"></div>

<h3>Spelling Corrections</h3>

<p><a href="http://blog.skiviez.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/spelling-corrections.png"><img src="http://blog.skiviez.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/spelling-corrections.png" alt="spelling-corrections" title="spelling-corrections" width="240" height="103" class="alignright size-full wp-image-124" /></a></p>

<p>Can&#8217;t spell a brand? Our new search feature will try be as helpful as it can be by suggesting an appropriate spelling.</p>

<div style="clear: right;"></div>

<h3>Powerful Search Filters</h3>

<p><a href="http://blog.skiviez.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/filter.png"><img src="http://blog.skiviez.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/filter.png" alt="filter" title="filter" width="111" height="136" class="alignright size-full wp-image-125" /></a></p>

<p>If you press enter or click the Go button to submit your search, you&#8217;ll be taken to a page that shows matching search results for your query. The power in this page lies in the list of links on the right-hand side. Want to quickly drilldown to the 2xist products that have a size small in stock? Just click &#8220;2xist&#8221; under the &#8220;Brand&#8221; heading and &#8220;S&#8221; under the &#8220;Size In Stock&#8221; heading, and now you&#8217;ve got a view of our product catalog that&#8217;s just what you wanted to see.</p>

<p>Indeed, browsing the search page without typing any search keywords (just press the &#8220;Go&#8221; button in the search box without typing any words) is a powerful and convenient way to browse the products on our Web site. You can construct some pretty unique views of our product catalog. For example, you could [see all of the black low rise briefs that we have in stock in size medium](http://www.skiviez.com/Search/Results.underwear?t=Search&amp;v=Active&amp;c=Black&amp;s=Low Rise Briefs&amp;d=M). Or, you could see all of our <a href="http://www.skiviez.com/Search/Results.underwear?t=Search&amp;v=Active&amp;c=Pink&amp;i=0&amp;">pink underwear</a>.</p>

<div style="clear: both;"></div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In addition to allowing you to checkout with Visa, Master Card, American Express, Discover, and PayPal, <strong>we&#8217;ve just finished adding support for Google Checkout</strong>. It&#8217;s just another one of the incremental improvements that we&#8217;re making to our Web site to better serve customers like you.</p>

<p>There&#8217;s no additional fee for using Google Checkout, and using it is fast and easy. You&#8217;ll still receive helpful notification e-mails from our Web site but won&#8217;t have to re-type all of your personal or financial information during checkout. In fact, in our tests most customers can complete checkout via Google Checkout in less than thirty seconds!</p>

<p>If you have suggestions for improvement for our Google Checkout integration, we&#8217;d love to hear from you. <a href="mailto:info@skiviez.com">Just shoot us an e-mail at info@skiviez.com</a>, and we&#8217;ll be happy to take your suggestions.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You may have noticed a few changes on our Web site. We&#8217;ve been listening to your feedback over the past year, and we&#8217;re excited to unveil the latest revision of our Web site, which incorporates much of your feedback.</p>

<p>The most obvious change is a <em>new design</em> for the site. We think that this design makes the site easier to read and navigate since we&#8217;ve removed a lot of clutter and lines from the interface.</p>

<p>Another major improvement is <em>a simplified and streamlined checkout process</em>. We admit that the old checkout process could be a little confusing&#8211;depending on whether or not you were a new customer or a returning one, you saw a different sequence of checkout pages. And many people didn&#8217;t like being asked to log into their account straight out of the gate. We feel we&#8217;ve addressed both of these issues in the new checkout, which we think is faster, simpler, and easier to understand.</p>

<p>You asked for alternative forms of payment, <em>so we&#8217;ve added PayPal as a payment option</em>. Even though we store all customer and payment information in a secure environment according to industry-accepted standards, we understand that some customers can get nervous over the idea. When you use PayPal, all of your financial information stays at PayPal, and you save time because you don&#8217;t have to re-enter all of that information on our Web site.</p>

<p>We&#8217;ve also made a boatload of small improvements to various areas of the site. These changes include prominently displaying fabric compositions and origin information on product pages and displaying discontinued products within search results. We&#8217;ve also added this blog, which we&#8217;ll use to let you know about Web site upgrades as well as upcoming sales. We&#8217;ll also answer some questions that our customers commonly ask us, such as why a particular product is so frequently backordered.</p>

<p>Finally, we&#8217;ve made a host of behind-the-scenes technical improvements to the site. While you can&#8217;t directly see the results of these changes, you&#8217;ll notice an overall performance increase in the Web site.</p>

<p>If you have any questions or are experiencing a problem, please <a href="http://www.skiviez.com/Support/Contact.underwear">contact us</a>. Have questions about some of these changes, or have some ideas for a future revision? <a href="http://www.skiviez.com/Support/Feedback.underwear">Send us feedback</a>, or shoot an e-mail over to <a href="mailto:info@skiviez.com">info@skiviez.com</a>.</p>
