Tel Aviv, Israel .... March 10, 2015 U-boutique.com is the Holy Land’s fastest growing online ‘made in Israel handicrafts’ site. Now in its third year of business, the company has successfully doubled its' 2014 sales of Israeli handmade crafts and designer goods all over the globe.
Offering personal service in an era of computerized impersonal Internet transactions, customers from every continent and more recent buyers from Peru and Tanzania are likely to receive a phone call directly from Israel. U-boutique’s 400 vendors are never surprised when they are contacted by the company’s representatives linking them to potential buyers overseas with a personal question about customizing a bracelet or sizing a ring. A recent Florida buyer of a signed art print of a Galillee landscape was pleased to know that her selection could be specially sized to fit the wall in her home.
Ruchama, head of customer relations at U-boutique.com in Israel, insists that there is no greater feeling of gratification than when she successfully connects an Israeli artisan with a buyer from overseas. “It makes no difference to us whether a buyer is 10 hours behind or ahead of us in Israel, we will make sure the customer will receive a personal phone call to ensure their satisfaction”.
“Gustavo, one of our repeat customers, contacted me the first time about making a purchase but spoke no English,” said Ruchama. Ever since then we correspond in Spanish using translation options. Despite my limited ability with languages we have successfully corresponded and served customers in Russian, French, Italian, and Chinese. Personal service is what we are all about.”
Quality Israeli made jewelry, Judaica and fashions are among the popular categories of handcrafted products that are being marketed through U-boutique. The designers and artisans who operate their personal shops through the company’s website get to display their talents to a vast International marketplace when it comes to producing unique Israeli goods. The colors of many products available are influenced by the earth colors of the Israeli hills, mountains, deserts, forests, and the blue and aqua colors of its seas and lake.
The popularity of Israeli handicrafts is evident by the rising volume of sales each month. U-boutique has doubled the number of its sales in 2014 and is working towards doing it again in 2015.
The continuing growth in the sales of handicraft products and goods as reported by the industry is reflective of customers’ requests to buy something handmade and unique combined with the convenience of shopping online from the comfort of a home or office. “Our reputation for personal attention to the needs of our customers and sellers is what sets us apart from other websites,” added Ruchama. “Making shopping personal and satisfying is what we are all about.”
U-Boutique.com, Israel's largest virtual mall, offers thousands of handmade designer products for sale on its global site. Since 2011, the company has grown from 10 online shops to over 400 shops today. Many of U-Boutique's shop owners are artisans or designers who have graduated from Israel’s top designer schools. Since its inception, U-boutique has expanded its marketing efforts and has succeeded in entering new markets across the globe.
