Now, if you’re looking for good PR, you can’t get better than the front page of CNN.com. And yesterday, that’s exactly what ChannelAdvisor customer, Clare Price from The Contemporary Home, achieved - with a helping hand from the ChannelAdvisor PR team!

The Contemporary Home sells a range of cool interior accessories for the modern home and in just over two years, Clare has built a strong multi-channel online business in the UK. She started the business as a hobby but ended up quitting her full-time job as an IT consultant and enlisting her husband, Craig as a business parter as her operation grew.

Clare chose ChannelAdvisor as her technology and strategy partner in March 2006 and has taken her business to a whole new level in the last 9 months. She sells on eBay, Amazon, as well as a very professional-looking ChannelAdvisor Store (check it out at www.thecontemporaryhome.co.uk). She also makes good use of ChannelAdvisor’s shopping engine feed functionality to drive fresh traffic to her website.

Clare was interviewed by a journalist from Reuters just before Christmas and the story ‘hit the wire’ (as they say in press circles) yesterday. It’s really great to see Clare gain global recognition for her success - she’s worked very hard to get where she is today and had a lot of fun along the way. The CA UK team has very much enjoyed working with her and we’re looking forward to more of the same in 2007!

Here’s a photo of Clare with her husband and business partner, Craig, on holiday (or is that the office…?)
