Our Web site is on Fire!

It’s been recognised as the fastest growing youth fashion web site in this country. Just look at these impressive web growth stats:

* 2006 = 5000 visits * 2007 = 10,000 Visits * 2008 = 20,000 Visits * 2009: January/March = 7200 visits - 43,264 Pages viewed – 375,505 Hits – 10,430MB downloaded.

We believe the investment in a $20,000 TV doco on last year’s Opal Fashion Bash allowed us for the first time to showcase video previews on some of its most popular attractions on both this web site & You Tube. This besides revamping many of our previous underperforming web link pages with the assistance of Damien Viero, our crash hot web site manager from Above & Beyond  has allowed us to record an increase of 33% in visitor numbers for the first quarter of 2009 compared to the same quarter last year. The regional media by its support for many of our youth fashion events/projects has also assisted us to rapidly increase our web visitor numbers for each of the past 3 yrs. Thanks a Million to you all.
