The Samsonite brand is known worldwide for having high quality, durable, travel products which withstand a great deal of usage from owners. Traditionally, most people purchased their Samsonite travel products from third parties online or at a retail store. Now with the launch of this ecommerce storefront experience, fans of Samsonite will be able to browse a wide array of products online from the convenience of their own home. With heavy shopping expected for the holidays, it is good that the site launched last month to capitalize on the rush of people looking for new travel products like luggage. Samsonite chose to partner with Webstore by Amazon to use their ecommerce shopping cart solution to power their newly launched site. Webstore by Amazon is a great product that more and more big brands are choosing to partner with as it is a name they can trust.
This effort is a great push for the Samsonite brand, which is looking to expand their presence from the launch of the ecommerce site. Now fans of the brand will have yet another point of contact to review products and see what is new on the site. Consumers are already enjoying the easy to use site because of the smooth shopping experience it provides to customers looking to buy Samsonite travel gear. Having this ecommerce store will act as a perfect hub for the brand to reach more people online who might not have heard of Samsonite, or those who forgot about the brand and want to reconnect. Overall the site looks amazing and it has a great selection of products that any traveler would be happy to have this holiday season.
