PADI Launches Enhanced B2B Online Shopping Cart

Rancho Santa Margarita, CA – 7 February 2007 – PADI Members now have an even easier and more efficient way to order and manage their educational inventory thanks to PADI’s newly upgraded business to business online shopping cart. Launched on 2 February 2007, the updated shopping cart enables members to place and track orders, view purchase history and get the latest information about new products and special promotions.

PADI’s online shopping cart never closes and instantly recognizes PADI Members when they log on to the Pro Section at padi.com. The new iteration of PADI’s online shopping cart features the latest technology and offers several key features:

  • The new online catalog offers prompts to view related, new or upgraded products, keeping PADI Members informed of the latest developments
  • Recurring order function allows for effortless placement of repeat orders
  • Quick Order option allows busy PADI Members to “enter and go" by simply entering a product number
  • Checkout options let PADI Members view costs for various shipping methods such as ground, second day air or overnight

Upgrading the online shopping cart capabilities is just one of the many ways the PADI Organization is expanding online services to better meet member demand. “Customers now expect online shopping convenience and PADI Members are no exception,” commented PADI Americas Vice President of Sales and the International Resort and Retailer Associations Services, Bob Coleman. “The PADI Organization is dedicated to meeting member demand by providing the best service - online and otherwise - to help our members maximize their profits.”

PADI’s online shopping cart is currently available to members in the US and will be launching in other world markets later in 2007. To learn more about the enhanced online shopping cart, PADI Members can log on to the Pro Section at padi.com or contact their PADI Sales Consultant.
