Gabriel & Co. Relaunches Interactive New Website
New York, NY (PRWEB) August 04, 2014 -- Gabriel & Co. is relaunching its website, GabrielNY.com, with new interactive features designed to build brand awareness and increase sales by directly connecting consumers to Gabriel’s vast network of certified retailers. This new and unprecedented digital strategy is the driving force behind Gabriel & Co.’s efforts to engage “Generation Y” consumers on their preferred terms while exciting retailers about the countless marketing and sales tools that are made possible with technology. Gabriel & Co.’s technological savvy is being spearheaded by CEO and Founder, Jack Gabriel. The notoriously meticulous Gabriel, who has a background in engineering, proudly brings retailer partners into the current digital fold, offering consumers access to a vast selection of styles and information while solidifying strong relationships with their local brick and mortar retailer.
Technology is a seamless way to connect consumers with information. According to Nielsen, the New York-based global information and measurement group, Millennials, who at 77 million comprise 24% of the US population, prefer to receive their information digitally and harbor “more of a positive view of how technology is affecting their lives than any other generation.” The company concludes that “this generation’s digital tendencies, however, means that marketers and brands need to step up their games in order to keep up and engage with them.”*
Gabriel & Co. has designed a series of new interactive features and applications (also available on smartphones and tablets) on its website to enhance the consumer shopping experience while driving web traffic directly to certified Gabriel & Co. retailer websites in order to complete the sale. In addition to a brand new look and feel, users can easily navigate through Gabriel & Co.’s prolific fashion and bridal collections.
