Axe Heaven's Successful Holiday Season: Retail E-Commerce Site w/ DRIVE's CartSEO Shopping Cart


 

Axe Heaven Has Successful Holiday Season with Retail E-Commerce Shopping Cart Site Powered by DRIVE's CartSEO™


Indianapolis, Indiana, January 8, 2008 - DRIVE, a web design and search engine optimization company, reported today that the Axe Heaven retail e-commerce web site, which launched just six weeks ago, had a better-than-expected 2007 holiday season. 

Available online at AxeHeaven.com, the new site features miniature replicas of guitars made famous by Rock 'n Roll stars from the 60's through today. The online store's slogan is "Rock Your Passion" because it features handcrafted and incredibly real-looking mini replicas of more than 100 notorious guitars, including Jimi Hendrix's "Flying V" and the purple "Symbol" guitar used by Prince during his infamous contract dispute.

The Axe Heaven web site is powered by the CartSEO™ shopping cart technology, which was developed by DRIVE to improve on the lack of search engine-friendliness inherent in most traditional online carts. CartSEO offers ever-present static HTML files to the search engines for ranking rather than the less-friendly built-to-order "dynamic" pages delivered by most e-commerce shopping carts.

Both sales on the site and the site's organic rankings on the Google search engine dramatically exceeded projections for December 2007. The brand new site achieved high natural rankings on Google within one week of its launch for some its most important targeted keyword phrases, such as "miniature guitar replica." Greater-than-expected sales were largely based on a targeted Pay-Per-Click search engine advertising campaign developed and managed by DRIVE.

"I am glad to see our site being ranked so high in search engine results this early. Nice work Ken!, stated Axe Heaven's co-founder, Jason Kline. "I also wanted to give you an update that Axe Heaven is Rocking its Passion. I am very happy with our first week’s sales."

In addition, as a result of the quality of the merchandise and the site's impressive retail environment, which was branded and designed by BE Branded, the Axe Heaven web site attracted the attention of several of the rock stars whose guitars are featured.

Within two weeks of the site's launch, Ron Thal of Guns 'N' Roses chose Axe Heaven as its official miniature guitar replica merchandise manufacturer. Ron's famous Bumble Foot and Swiss Cheese guitars by Axe Heaven are now available exclusively at BumbleFoot.com.

Neil Zaza, a contempory musician with a global following, is also featuring an Axe Heaven miniature guitar replica on his official website at NeilZaza.com.
