Keeping current with market trends has always been a priority with Veseys Seeds and early recognition of the potential within the internet has helped in company growth. Veseys Seeds was one of the first seed companies to have a presence on the web. As early as the spring of 1996, veseys.com was an information site which provided interested gardeners with a wealth of gardening tips, climatic charts and general knowledge of gardening. On December 15th of 1998, this original site was replaced with the first half of a newly developed web site. Here, Veseys expanded the amount of information available and added such features as an electronic newsletter, an interactive gardening forum, photo postings of their customers results, employment opportunities, press release, history of the company and many more new and improved services. One month later on January 13th, Veseys completed the second half of their new site, which was the electronic catalogue. As of that date, visitors to veseys.com can now browse through every category available in the various printed catalogues and order with confidence on line. Since going live with the online catalogue, sales have represented 32% of total sales with much of this business coming from brand new customers. As things are always changing and improving in the internet world, Veseys is constantly redeveloping its e-commerce gardening web site to better serve their electronic customers.
