Direct Salon Equipment Launches Revamped Website Aimed at Improving User Experience

Coburg North, VIC, Australia (PRWEB UK) 9 December 2012

Salon furniture and equipment store Direct Salon Equipment (DSE) recently released their redesigned website. The redesign is aimed at making the site easier to navigate and more appealing to the eye.

The new design allows browsers to see product pictures in a moving slide on our homepage. Weve also made it easier for people to navigate our site by adding a very visible button that allows them to browse all our products, said Pat Liapis, Owner of Direct Salon Equipment.

In general, the new website uses a lot of free space in its design. This helps users focus on important areas of the site so that they can find the information they need more easily. In addition, weve added a blog to offer value-added information to salon owners, continued Liapis.

Aside from salon equipment and furniture, Direct Salon Equipment also offers salon furniture for children.

Some salons like to install child sized salon chairs so they can get the kids to stay put for a haircut. We thought it was a great idea, so we offer three different styles of salon stools in a child size, said Liapis.



Aside from their online storefront, Direct Salon Equipment also operates a showroom that is accessible by appointment only.

The showroom is located at Unit 20, 25-27 Hocking Street, Coburg North.

DSE also offers a 12 month warranty on all non-electrical items they manufacture. For electrical items, they offer a 6 month warranty.

Salon owners who want ideas on the layout of their space can also consult a designer at DSE to help them optimise their floor plan.

Weve found that salon owners really like this service since they get to leverage our design experience to speed up the process of creating a new salon, said Liapis.



For salons that do not want to buy their equipment outright, DSE offers equipment for lease.

Some owners like to go with our leases since it provides tax benefits and helps their cash flow, said Liapis.

Salon owners can go to Direct Salon Equipment to buy high quality salon equipment and furniture.

Photographic Equipment Retailing in Australia Industry Market Research Report Now Updated by IBISWorld

Melbourne, Australia (PRWEB) February 11, 2013

The Photographic Equipment Retailing industry has been affected by tough trading conditions over the past five years, with industry sales expected to post weak annualised growth of just 0.8%. According to IBISWorld Industry analyst Claudia Burgio-Ficca, while demand for digital cameras has remained high, the industry as a whole has struggled. The modest rise in sales over this period has been a result of declines in the average price of cameras, fierce competition from external players such as electrical stores and department stores, and growth in the volume of grey imports of camera products being sought and bought by consumers. The overall performance of the photographic equipment market has also been driven by trends in real household disposable income, consumer sentiment, advances in product technology and features, and fluctuations in the number of domestic trips taken by Australian consumers. Industry sales are expected to increase by 0.9% to $ 768 million in 2012-13. Despite anticipated growth in disposable income and consumer sentiment, industry sales will be hindered by retail heavyweights such as Harvey Norman, Myer and Big W. These external players will continue to offer consumers competitive pricing and a broad product range in an attempt to attract a larger share of the industry. Industry sales will also be under pressure from the online market and grey imports due to the significant cost savings available to consumers. Goods retailed by the industry may be purchased from a range of other avenues including department stores and domestic appliances stores, via online shopping websites and from resellers of grey imports.

Sales of photographic equipment by industry operators are expected to rise over the next five years. Retail demand during this period will be driven by consumers seeking to upgrade their camera and growth in the number of people taking photos and developing an interest in photography, says Burgio-Ficca. However, the industry is likely to continue facing strong competition from external players seeking a larger share of the photographic equipment market.

The Photographic Equipment Retailing industry exhibits a medium degree of market share concentration. Concentration levels are estimated to have remained relatively stable over the past five years owing to intense competition from external players and the online market. Mounting price-based competition from department stores created tough trading conditions for industry players over the past five years and affected the viability of smaller sized operators. Market share concentration levels for this industry have also been influenced by the growing popularity of grey imports – products purchased from resellers, which are not within the traditional supply chain. The industrys major players are Raleru and Teds Camera Stores.
