eBlox is proud to announce the launch of Leaderpromos.com, a top 50 promotional products and apparel distributor headquartered in Columbus, Ohio. Leaderpromos.com is a completely new web presence that showcases new features and technology for Leaderpromos’ clients, which includes top companies like Starbucks, Intel, Zappos and many others.

“Leaderpromos challenged us to create cutting-edge technology to help their clients discover and save products more easily,” noted eBlox CEO Brent Buford. “Our developers built new tools like the Idea Board and Sample Bag that take the friction out of these processes and encourage new ways of interacting.”

First among these innovations is the Idea Board, a proactive tool that enables seamless, one-click saving of products for projects. Always just a click away in a floating tab on the site, Idea Boards can be shared with colleagues instantly or printed for presentations.

In addition, eBlox streamlined the sample ordering process for Leaderpromos.com so that any number of samples can be ordered with a minimum of clicks. No login is required and sample ordering and management is consolidated onto a single, easy-to-use Sample Bag page.

Built on eBlox’ storeBlox e-commerce platform, Leaderpromos.com is fully responsive for mobile devices, completely secured with SSL and packed with useful features like easy product color filtering and built-in blog posting.

Our most frequent request isn’t for a cool feature or a whiz-bang tool—it’s for more design variety. That’s right: we give our customers the best features in the world and all they want is more eye candy. Can’t win ‘em all.

Except for this week—we’re pleased to announce a whole new series of fabulous template designs for your storeBlox CS company stores.

We’ve made some cool improvements, including support for hundreds of new fonts and a streamlined method for changing theme colors.

What’s that you said? Yes, that’s right: you can change theme colors to your heart’s content. Don’t like that purple? Push it over the edge to a deep eggplant-y color! That orange a tad too bright for your client to swallow? Tone it down to something a little more tangerine!

The same goes for fonts. If that sans-serif “Lato” font is a bit too, um, *modern* for the board’s stodgy tastes, restore order and confidence with a much more conservative choice like PT Serif or Crimson. Sky’s the limit! (Well, really, it’s about 850 or so fonts, but that’s probably enough.)

Ready to check out the snazzy new duds or try them out on your company store? Give us a shout today!

Security is of paramount importance to eBlox, and we make constant strides to improve the security of storeBlox CS. From enforcing and displaying password strength requirements to advanced credit card processing options, we are always working to reinforce the strength of your stores. It’s not the sexiest stuff in the world, but it’s critical for the safety of your business.

That’s why we’re proud to announce that storeBlox CS is now going full-time https. What does that mean? Your customers’ connections to the your store will now be encrypted all the time, for every page on the site, rather than only when passing sensitive information (like in a shopping cart or registration form).

This is good security policy first and foremost, but it’s also where everything is heading; in fact, Google has said that it will start penalizing sites in its search engine if they’re not fully secured on every page.

There’s no charge for this upgrade, and it’s now available to all stores. Enjoy!
