MERRILLVILLE, IN, October 12, 2010 (Press-News.org) While their previous website allowed members to shop from home, the Merrillville, IN-based buying club felt there was room for improvement and partnered with several companies to create an e-commerce site that would meet and exceed members' expectations. And after months of design, development, and testing, the new members.directbuy.com has been released.
Aside from a new look and feel, one of the biggest improvements to the site is a brand new search engine that enables users to search by brand, keyword, model number, department, product category, and more, or by price or a range of prices. The website also features more images; multiple viewing options; a fast, no hassle check out process; and the option to save up to six credit cards to a member's account.
"We had an opportunity to make a real difference in our members' shopping experience," said Tony Baumann, I.T. Product/Project Manager. "Our team gave everything they had to this project. There were a lot of moving parts and tight deadlines, but everyone pitched in to ensure we gave our members what they wanted."
While the website has been released and members are using it daily to research products and make purchases, DirectBuy Club's work is far from over. The company has several future releases in the works for the coming months and plans to add features such as member product reviews and manufacturer recommendations. "We'll continually be updating the site with enhancements and features to further add benefit to the DirectBuy Club membership," said President and CEO Scott Powell. "Our hope is that we can revolutionize the way members search, shop, buy, and learn about all the products DirectBuy offers."

Former High School Weakling Delivers A Knockout Blow
2010-10-12
Dan Beesden was what you might call 'bully-bait' at highschool, something he openly admits to nowadays. Scrawny, lanky with barely an ounce of muscle on him, he would spend most days avoiding the attention of those at school who wanted to make his life a misery, and his lack of physique continued into his early adult years.
"What I enjoyed the most was meeting people I hadn't seen in years", chuckles Dan. "It's awful to admit it, but it gives you a real sense of pride to see people's jaws drop at the results. And everyone wants to know how I did it, they're always shocked ...
