It’s OFFICIALLY the holiday season; the weather is cold, the leaves are changing color, everything is pumpkin-spiced and the Junior League of Little Rock’s Holiday House starts this week! ERI again had the privilege of developing all of Holiday House’s creative materials, which not only adds to our portfolio, but also allows us to participate in something really worthwhile in the community. Not to mention it gave us an excuse to listen to Christmas music even before Halloween.

Again this year, Holiday House is being held at the Statehouse Convention Center in downtown Little Rock and is four fun-filled days of pre-Christmas shopping. There’s all kinds of vendors selling everything under the mistletoe, including ornaments, toys, crafts, food and tons more. All proceeds benefit the Junior League of Little Rock’s community projects, so when you buy, you’re really doing your part to help our fair city. And other than excessive eating and A Christmas Story, isn’t “giving” what the holidays are all about?

Eric Rob & Isaac recently helped completely overhaul I.O. Metro Furniture Stores’ website, including the launch of its new e-commerce function. That’s right. Now every chic-yet-oh-so-affordable I.O. Metro item is available at your fingertips – not to mention free shipping for a limited time!

Specialty lifestyle home furnishing retailer I.O. Metro wanted to simultaneously redesign their website, integrate e-commerce, make it more user-friendly for customers, effectively communicate the story of their brand and try and capture as much of their interactive in-store experience and the essence of what makes them tick online as possible. Whew. Tall order. But we at ERI love tall orders. Especially when you’re working with clients as innovative and fun as I.O. Metro. So the site went live October 6, and since then, traffic has already doubled since this time last year. See for yourself at iometro.com. And buy a Blue Buddha, Silver Artichoke or Turquoise Pucker Fish while you’re at it.
