Why The Toggi Website Is A Good Example Of A Good Retail Business Site

By Essie Osborn


A lot of retailers try to succeed in the virtual world by making great online websites and stores. A lot also fail due to clunky loading times and also confusing layouts that are too much to absorb in one go. Toggi, on the other hand has an interesting website that does not necessarily have all the bells and whistles, but it does get the job done.

One of the factors that make this website easy to use is that it loads fast. Even on a dial up connection the whole page loads up in just a few seconds. Faster connections of 1 mbps or more sees an almost instant connection with all the pictures loaded.

The speed of course gets a boost from the simpler design of the site which has basically minimal graphics and special effects. It shows main offerings of the store in the center and choices of apparel by gender on the left. By the main tabs on the left side one can choose by organized items that the store has to offer.

The left side also sees a tab that separates the equestrian riding gear and products on the bottom from outdoor apparel on top. The tab is called technical guide tab and is quite interesting. It is a guide that shows the different materials the products are made of and what advantages these materials gives for each of the products in the product line. This sort of additional information being given to customers and prospective customers is something that is quite new and not seen always.

Further clicking on in any tab also opens up a further sub menu that further gives a collection for men women and others such as equestrian use. An accessories section is also quite interesting in that it shows a collection for bags, scarves and even socks that the buyer might be interested in.

Those addicted to social media will not feel lost in this site as links to popular social media are also included on it. Links are available for Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. A tab covering news for products is also included if one wants to know more about their products and product lines that are in the offing or just newly offered.

Another interesting and novel move by the company is to provide a product registration for products bought from their stores. This in a way keeps track of loyal customers and also helps them make a database for future promotions and sales and deals. Very few if any company does this for their sites as an aftersales service.

Thus in a nutshell, the qualities for a good website for an apparel business can be summed up as having good speed, clear and simple layout, simple directions, and also customer feedback and service. This website can thus be used as an example for other stores to emulate to make themselves not only successful in the real world, but in the virtual world as well.
