Reviewing: The Home Page
This is the default page for the entire website and will be your main portal for keeping updated on the latest manufacturer products and alerts. No matter where you are on the website you just need to click the HOME link in the upper navigation bar and you will be returned to this page.

Reviewing: The Top Navigation Bar
This navigation bar contains the several links that will direct the user to the named link. Three links to note are the Home page which takes the users back to the defualt home page. The Contact page which takes the user to the overall Contact page for E-Figures. And finially the News Letter Page which will always lead the user to the most updated news letter.

Reviewing: The Left Side Navigation Bar
On the left hand side of the website is the main navigation users will use to navigate the website. By placing your mouse cursor over the desired Manufacturer or product range you will reveal several other options. In areas where a black arrow follows a section name, one or more pages will be displayed to the right hand side when highlighted.  Although Store Info, PreOrders and Starter Deals are the top options of the navigation, the rest of the selections are in alphabetical sequences.

Reviewing: The Manufacturer News Page
E-Figures believes it's just as important to provide our Retailers with product as it is to provide them with information pertaining to that product. Manufacturer News pages will usually contain a wide range of information. Website links, downloads and product list are just a few of the resources on each page. In addition when a Manufacturer sends out any alerts or product updates we will strive to pass that information in it's original state on their News Page.

Reviewing: The Manufacturer Overall Order Page
Every Manufacturer has an overall order page which provides a complete product list of items available for that Manufacturer from E-Figures. Clicking a products name will open up a more information page which will generally provide more information about that product. In addition to this the overall order page will provide a live stock count which is updated several times a day by the system. The MSRP for each product will always be viewable on this page. To see the wholesale cost of an item the Retailer must be logged into their account.

Reviewing: The Manufacturer Gallery Page
The intent of the Gallery Order page is to provide Retailers a visual tool to explore, share and discover new and existing products. When not logged in it will only display the image, MSRP and product name.  Logging into the site reveals the wholesale cost as well as an "Add to Cart" button.  Clicking this button will add one of that item to your cart. The quantity of that item can be adjusted by viewing your cart. Retailers are encouraged to share this page with their players to improve awareness of a product or gauge interest.

Reviewing: The Manufacturer Photo Page
This intent of this page is to highlight a particular Manufacturers products by displaying Retailer or Player submitted photos. It's our experience that presenting products from a end user perspective not only helps to grow awareness but inspire creativity. Here is a perfect example of such a page:[link]

Reviewing: The Retailer Awareness Program
This awareness program is designed to highlight a specific Retailer and his or her store. All Retailers are welcome to submit store photos, description and introductions that will be used to create their own awareness page. It is our hope that these pages will not only raise awareness of the store but be a tool and resource for other stores to compare and learn from. Retailers are a very important part of our business and it the least we can do to show our support by providing them this option.

Reviewing: The Manufacturer Awareness Program
It's hard to keep track of all the different Manufacturers, Distributors, Resources and Game Systems out in the market today. Although the information in this section may differ from our current portfolio, we still feel this is the right thing to do. Each page is dedicated to a particular subject that we feel might be useful to one or more of our retailers and associates. Our goal is to provide the community with information to allow them to be confident in their positions on the various subjects provided. Whether it is product or resource related the intent is to maintain it's section with updated information as it is made available.

Reviewing: The Retailer Resources Section
The Retailer Resource Section is designed to highlight paticular companies, resources or tools. The listed subjects should in someway help retailers grow, maintain or just stay informed on the latest topics in our industry. Note: Contributions to our resource page are always welcome.

Reviewing: Daily Updates
E-Figures currently doesn't distribute daily emails with products arrivals and changes to the site. We believe that many of our Retailers already experience enough emails on a daily basis. So we instead utilize a tool called Twitter which allows us to post daily updates.  These updates are then posted to our site in the Daily Updates section. Retailers who currently use Twitter will also be able be to follow us on Twitter by searching for efigures. But this is not necessary as all updates are located in the Daily Updates section found under the Store Info tab at the top of the navigation.
[top]

Reviewing: Starter Deals
The Starter Deals section was created to provide Retailers several options for investing into new or existing product lines. Clicking each product should reveal a complete list of items available when ordering that particular kit. We are so confident in the success of some of these kits that we have even put 60 day guarantees on a few of them.
