overstockArt.com Launches Mobile Website

overstockArt.com Continues Tradition of Being a Technological Innovator in the Online Home Décor Industry with New Mobile Website

Wichita, KS, September 09, 2011 --(PR.com)-- overstockArt.com announced today the official launch of its mobile website, m.overstockArt.com. The launch represents another milestone for the company as it continues its strides in technological innovation and maintains itself as a leader in the online home décor industry. Customers can now conveniently access the popular online art gallery's collection of more than 60,000 reproduction oil paintings and decorative ceramic tiles on their BlackBerrys, iPhones, Droids, and other small-screen mobile devices.

The advance of mobile web continues unabated, with smartphones now representing 40 percent of all mobile phones in the U.S., according to a July 2011 Nielsen report. "It is statistics like this and our own site analytics showing us that mobile users are our fastest growing market drove us to ramp up our mobile strategy," said David Sasson, CEO of overstockArt.com.

overstockArt.com strives to make comparison shopping, browsing and product research easy for consumers with the new mobile website. Consumers can search for fine art from easy to navigate galleries specifically created for the mobile shopping environment. The retailer also developed an innovative "mobile friendly" framing tool for mobile shoppers to custom frame their art right on their phones.

"This is another milestone for our company as we seek new ways to accommodate our customers and make our products more accessible for them," stated Sasson. "With our mobile technology, customers can now shop with us when and where they want - it's shopping for fine art on demand."

overstockArt.com initiated their mobile strategy with the debut of the overstockArt.com iPhone application earlier this summer. The app, which is available for download on iTunes, is the perfect complement for the mobile store as it allows shoppers to visualize fine art from the retailer hanging on their own wall before making their purchases. As mobile technology advances, overstockArt.com plans for future revisions and enhancements, including the creation of an Android version of its mobile application scheduled to be released by Cyber Monday 2011.
