Posted on December 30, 2011 by NewSunSEO

In-demand products, unparalleled site design and usability, competitive search engine marketing, continuous innovative, exciting holiday specials — these are just some of the variables that make up a successful ecommerce business.

Posted on December 30, 2011 by NewSunSEO

Biscotti TV Phone Box Click here to view this gallery. A cookie-shaped, easy-to-use, $199 video-conferencing solution is impressive, but wrapping it up in packaging that resembles a mash-up between Apple’s design elegance and Henny Youngman ‘s penchants for one-liners is an altogether different level of accomplishment. Introduced last month at the Consumer Electronics Association’s annual New York-based CES Unveiled preview event ( CES 2012 kicks off on Jan. 9 in Las Vegas), the Biscotti TV Phone is a home video-conferencing gadget that works with your HDTV .

In the meantime, though, let’s all spend a moment oohing and ahhing over this extremely well-thought-out packaging. As with the best packaging, there’s little wasted space. Continue reading →
