But like you said I wish instead of complimenting, Nikki talked about each product. That way men would get knowledge while looking at a pretty face. This is awesome.

It is the FTTH (fiber to the home) super high speed internet connection. I don't know how it is for you, but unfortunately for us Australian's we have pretty low speeds. Check out this chart for how we stand compared to the Asian Market we were originally targeting and you will understand. <a href="http://www.nowwearetalking.com.au/Library/Image/BACK_Telstra/img_bbSpeeds_sel.gif" rel="nofollow">broadband speeds</a> To answer your comment about upsells/cross sells which are excellent ideas. Until we have a need to shoot a completely new model for the entire product range, it is definitely not feasible to do the production for one or two lines (in every outfit) even if it is a good idea.

What a disaster if she asked "are you sure you want that?!!" She could also work some cross-sells/upsells like, "Oooh, great choices. We offer free shipping on orders over $100, you're only one luxurious product away. May I suggest our Desert Muscle Rub? It's a best-seller." Of course, this is much easier said than done, I'm sure Luke would agree. I can't imagine the amount of work required to put this site together. Very interesting that speed is not an issue in the Korean and Japanese market. We're so impatient here in English speaking countries, LOL! Hi No Name,

Initially the site was designed for the Korean and Japanese market where speed was never going to be an issue. There is a non-flash version of the shopping cart being finalized at the moment, but we could not wait until both were ready before we launched. There were two major bug fixes on Monday which seems to have cleared up the video double up and the interval between the actions and comments.

"Good choice!" "That's my favorite!" I've never had one say, "Are you sure about that?"
