The type of company that features a furry friend as a logo and replaces the ‘a’ with a heart when spelling “sale,” Peter Alexander promises comfy and cozy. Located on its homepage, just below the main menu, is a header featuring three separate links promoting the afterpay feature: buy now, pay later. By clicking on any of the three links, browsers are introduced to the same pop-up, which reads: Show Now. Enjoy Now. Pay Over Time. A combo of easy-to-read graphics, the pop-up shows how shoppers can continue to the checkout and choose to pay with four equal payments over a six-week period. In order for the method to work, requirements can be found in the fine print: Shoppers must have an Australian payment card, be over 18 years of age, and live in Australia. One of a select number of clothing retailers to offer a payment plan, the brand connects with its customer base, acknowledges that purchasing sleepwear is a luxury, not a necessity, and ensures repeat business. Located in Mississauga, Canada, Erin Mills Town Centre now offers ‘dining with a view’ as part of its new and improved food court. While a snap of the development can be seen scrolling on the center’s homepage, with just one click, browsers can check out more engaging photos under the “Photo Gallery & Virtual Tour” section. Shoppers can choose to switch pages via a picture and title button or a link under the “About Us” sub-section, both of which are located on the bottom half of the homepage. Including a dozen or so internal and external shots, the gallery offers a click-and- drag option for its first two photos. Showing the center lobby and food court, the pair highlight Erin Mills Town Centre’s community spaces. In addition to magnifying and full-screen size features, visitors can click and drag to see a 360° view. Along with retailer and dining options, the exclusive tour offers a look at the shopping center’s modern architecture and open areas. click icon to view in our digital edition click icon to view in our digital edition PAGE : 21
