“Thanks a lot (DDU) for helping fund the all-new Kinky Mick’s online store, the customer feedback has been very positive and has vastly increased the traffic and lifted our profile to the next level" says owner Mick.
Kinky Mick’s Wheel Shack is a business specialising in the supply of rare and historic alloy wheels to a world wide market of collectors. Originally grown out of a hobby from attending VW shows the client has built up the business to have significant turnover each year.
The client’s business has currently expanded further as they have secured suppliers from America and Sweden that specialise in producing replicas of some of the old wheels. These are very much sought after in the UK and the client has a clear market through which to sell them. The client saw an opportunity to use e-commerce as the best platform through which to sell these wheels
With assistance from the DDU the client now operates the business through a stylish and professionally produced website. This has a content management system, is e-commerce enabled, and will provide the order management for the business too.
