Charles Campbell, Whirlwind Media Services Lead Project Manager added, "Working with Santa Fe Apparel's staff, we were able to redesign and develop an easy to navigate state-of-the-art Website that will increase Santa Fe Apparel's brand awareness and bring new trends to the fashion conscious young women of today."
In 1998, Santa Fe Apparel created the CoffeeShop label – a new and energetic, fashion-forward line for juniors. The brand, which is carried in major department stores, chain stores and in over 200 specialty boutiques, has more than tripled in sales over the last five years. The jackets, coats and sportswear that make up the CoffeeShop label are crafted from high quality textiles and consistently bring new fashion trends and styles to the young women of today.
The success of CoffeeShop enabled Santa Fe Apparel to develop four additional collections over the past six years. The company proudly introduced LatteBLACK (a contemporary, fashion-forward line), Latte by Coffeeshop (a line geared towards the more missy customer) Grind (a young men's line) and CoffeeShop Kids.
Michael Burden, Director of Sales at Whirlwind, stated that, "We are focused on providing our customers with cost effective websites, ecommerce and multi-media marketing services, which are a fundamental part of sales in the new economy. Whirlwind also provides mobile applications and social networking services, which allow ecommerce retailers to continuously connect with their customers outside the traditional brick and mortar model. This is a dynamic time in our business, and as it approaches the $1 trillion mark, Whirlwind will be a growing part of it."
