PcPools Announces E-Commerce Stocks See Gains

Online retailers hope positive trends continue as PcPools continues strong growth

St. Paul, MN, April 02, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Internet Retailer is reporting that their Online Retail Index of 25 e-commerce stocks surged 6.8% on Monday March 23, 2009 as Wall Street rebounded on news of the latest financial rescue plan was released. In addition, the Commerce Department said that big- ticket items and new-home sales both rose unexpectedly in February. Despite the overall weakness in retail sales, PcPools one of America’s leading direct marketers of above ground pools and pool supplies for residential and commercial pool owners notes a continued upward online sales trend. The online sales increases continue even with traditional retail pool stores closing in record numbers.

Marketing Director Ted Robinson had this to say, “We are hopeful the overall economy is on the road to recovery for everyone. We know that given the state of the economy consumers are looking and searching for bargains including pool supplies. Rather than drive from store to store price shopping, consumers are using the internet to research, price shop and purchase many of their day to day needs. We feel very fortunate that we are not seeing a decline in sales volume at PcPools. We believe that our warehouse direct pricing and the more “need based” product offerings like pool chemicals and pool cleaning supplies, is growing our sales nicely. With springtime families are anxious to get back into their backyard pools. We also understand that online customers prefer free shipping. In this economic climate in particular, free shipping on all our pool supplies, including pool equipment and above ground pools is really appreciated and valued by our customers.”
