ALEXANDRIA, VA - November 18, 1998 - What would you say if you could sit in front of your computer with a cup of hot chocolate, click on one website and travel the world for truly unique gifts for your family, friends and co-workers. You're not dreaming - Netique®, the online gift boutique at netique.com, has just added several new gifts for the holidays.
Shopping online is the answer to hassle-free holiday shopping. There was a 37% rise in online shopping from September 1997 to June 1998 and it's estimated that online-shopping revenues will surpass $40 billion by 2002.
"Consider starting a new holiday tradition," said Netique president Dianne Mayfield. "Shopping online doesn't mean you can't still feel festive. Play holiday music, light a cinnamon-scented candle and think about all the things you can do with the time you just saved traveling from store to store."
At Netique's online boutique, shoppers can select a gift, purchase it, and have it gift wrapped and shipped within minutes. "Plus, you can shop anytime," said Mayfield, "whether you've just grabbed a sandwich at your desk or you're wearing pajamas." Netique, headquartered in historic Old Town Alexandria, VA, caters to those who enjoy giving unique gifts, but who lack the time to leisurely browse boutiques.
What makes Netique different from other online shopping is that the gifts are just that - different. "We've shopped all over the world," said Mayfield. "From Italian leather jewelry boxes to French, hand-crafted garden tools, your loved-ones and colleagues will never guess you simply went online."
Netique's first priority is customer satisfaction, offering rapid responses to inquiries, confirmation of orders online or by fax, and a satisfaction guarantee. The site is easy to navigate, and all gifts are displayed as clear, professionally produced images. The company also extends special terms and services to corporate gift buyers.
Equipped with a secured server for credit card purchases, Netique also provides both a toll-free phone number (1-800-WEB-GIFT) and a fax number (1-703-689-3703) for those individuals who would rather shop by phone.
Netique, Ltd., the owner of Netique Gift Boutique, is a privately held Virginia corporation founded in 1995.
