AMERICANEAGLE.COM SUCCESS STORIES

 WhiteHouse.gov: Americaneagle.com launched the official site for the US
White House at the inauguration of President Barack Obama. The timely and
seamless transition of the new site contributed to what was the most public
site launch in the history of the Internet. The new WhiteHouse.gov, which
incorporates blogs, video, photo galleries, and more, has been fundamental
to the President’s communication efforts and is fully integrated with Twitter,
Google Moderator, and other social media outlets.

 Chicago Bears Store: The official store for Chicago Bears merchandise more
than doubled their sales after Americaneagle.com launched the ecommerce
redesign in the 2007 playoff run. The store processed numerous transactions
per second with no disruption, despite incredibly high traffic.

 WeatherTech: Since 2000, Americaneagle.com has redesigned the auto
accessory retailer’s Web site 3 times. Since the original redesign,
WeatherTech.com sales have increased exponentially, due largely to
improved user interface with each redevelopment. The latest redesign
improved the conversion rate from 6% to 10%. Since 2000, sales have gone
from less than $1million to well over $20million per year.


 Fence Center: Fence Center, the largest fencing source on the Internet,
initially contacted Americaneagle.com in 2005 to create their first e-
commerce site. With the success of the original online storefront, due in
large part to optimal search engine visibility, Americaneagle.com recently
redesigned FenceCenter.com to align the site with the latest Web
technologies and design standards, which doubled the site’s conversion rate.

 Air-O-Swiss: Launched in 2008, Swiss-based company Air-O-Swiss has
experienced online sales totals nearing 8x the company’s initial investment in
under 6 months. Air-O-Swiss was careful to launch the new ecommerce store
as a soft sell so as not to cause turmoil with their current US vendors, but
since launch, vendors are experiencing higher sales as well.

 Foods Across America: Cross channel merchant, Foods Across America
(established by Vienna Beef) has experienced online sales totals surpassing
4x the company’s initial investment in under a year. In addition to a highly
navigable and branded website, the success is also attributable to cross
channel marketing efforts including two catalog drops since the site launched
in October 2008.


 Chiasso: Internet Retailer recognizes a select number of e-commerce Web
sites each year for their innovative approaches to online retailing. In
December 2007, Americaneagle.com proudly celebrated the recognition of
client Chiasso as one of the “Top 50” retailing sites in Internet Retailer’s
annual selection of “Best of the Web.” This came shortly after
Americaneagle.com gave Chiasso’s online storefront a major overhaul.

 Snow Blowers Direct: For 2008, Internet Retailer expanded its Best of the
Web from 50 sites to 100 sites, due to the growing number of outstanding
ecommerce Web sites. Among the “Hot 100” selected by Internet Retailer
was Americaneagle.com client Snow Blowers Direct. As a leading online
snow blower superstore, Snow Blowers Direct was selected as a pace-setting
Hot 100 Web site following a complete redesign by Americaneagle.com.

 Elderluxe: For 2009, Americaneagle.com client Elderluxe was featured as a
“Hot 100” ecommerce site in Internet Retailer’s Best of the Web.
Americaneagle.com launched the start-up ecommerce store of high-end
products for aging audiences in 2006 with a focus on interface and
functionality for an older demographic of Internet users.
